Is Plaxico Burress a giant idiot as reported in the New York Post?

for carrying a loaded firearm into a nightclub. That other dim bulb Antonio Pierce who accompanied Plaxy needs to be given his unconditional release also by the New York Giants.

Public Comments

1. He gives idiots a bad name. He's a typical modern day moronic athlete.
2. at least he didn't shoot his mouth off like normal
3. Well since the NY News had the same thing on the front page I guess so.
4. yes Plexi Glass is... Watch out with a question like this dude. I asked a similar one and some Giants fan took offense and reported it as a "violation"...
5. He is a complete waste of human flesh. I think it is hilarious what happened to him. That sounds mean but what a sorry a$s he is. I guess his sore hammy isn't bothering him as much anymore. Now he has a hole in his thigh to worry about.
6. yes he is an idiot he and all of NFL players should know not to do something stupid like micheal vick and adam packman jones as burress did basically the same thing as jones being in a club with a gun. stupid idiots.
7. Total botard!
8. Plaxico Burress is expected to be charged with criminal possession of a weapon after shooting himself in the thigh Friday night. The felony chage results in a mandatory 3.5 year prison sentence. "He went for his gun and fumbled it. And now it will cost him," a police source told the NY Daily News. Details continue to emerge, such as Antonio Pierce berating Plaxico for bringing the gun to a club. Pierce also stashed the gun for Burress and didn't call 911 at Plaxico's request, so he could face charges as well. Cops only learned about the incident after the Giants quietly reached out to them to report it. If this was T Owens it would be OVERKILL on the media and on here. They would be saying he was on his way to rob a bank or trying to attempt suicide and 90% of the people would be posting about it on here. Go ahead an thumbs down, its the facts
9. He was supposed to get over all the "issues" when he got his new contract they said at the start of the season. He's not an idiot, he just has very poor judgment all the way around and thinks rules don't apply to him. He is wasting his talent and being nothing but a distraction for his team. It is sad to see.
10. Yea, he is a stupid idiot. I had asked a similar question in here and some one said it best "you can take a guy out of the ghetto, but you cant take the ghetto out of the guy. He has such great potential as an athlete and I just hate see him waste is talent. I hope he does get locked up as lesson of stupidity for other players with tons of money ($35M contract).
11. New York City police were looking for Plaxico Burress last night to question him about accidentally shooting himself in the right thigh, the latest episode in a fast-growing list of off-the-field incidents that could potentially place his Giants career in jeopardy. A police spokesman said the shooting happened just before 1 a.m. at The Latin Quarter nightclub in midtown, which was where Burress was believed to have been partying with two Giants teammates and his wife. The bullet went "in and out" of Burress' leg without hitting a bone or artery, police said. Burress, a wide receiver who earlier Friday was ruled out of today's game against the Washington Redskins because of a hamstring injury, arrived at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Hospital with his wife, Tiffany, and an unidentified man, police said. He was admitted around 2 a.m. and treated and released before 1 p.m. New York City police arrived at Burress' sprawling $4-million home in Totowa, N.J., at 4:35 p.m. and spent 37 minutes outside the home. According to a police spokesman, Burress' wife, Tiffany, told them, "You can't come in. You can't talk to my husband." In October, Burress was fined one week's salary - $117,500 - and suspended for two weeks after missing a team meeting. The NFL also fined him $45,000 for his actions during and after a game that month against the 49ers in which he questioned the officiating and threw a ball into the stands following a touchdown. The Giants gave Burress a new five-year, $35-million contract before the season opener, but only $11 million is guaranteed. The relatively low $4.5-million signing bonus also means they could cut ties with him after this season without too much of a debilitating effect on their salary cap situation next year. Plaxico Burress is now a Giant issue In othe words "Plaxy" should be arrested or just suspended
12. Yes.
13. Yes and I bet that the Cowgirls just can't wait to get the idiot on their team which is a collection of stupid criminal type players .
14. yes,he has body bodyguards you dont need a gun when you have bodyguards,that just how idiotic he is.
15. Yes he is. He is a really big idiot.
16. Look, so they made a mistake - everybody does. Just because your team isn't half as good as the Giants doesn't mean you have to pile on. The Giants aren't going to release them for a tiny episode like this. Watch out, we're going to the Superbowl...
17. What's wrong with you? Releasing Pierce? He's our best defensive player. Burress might be an idiot but if we can keep Pierce then that's what we're going to do.
18. I still don't really understand what happened. So, he had a loaded gun, and he brought it into a club with Antonio Pierce, and "somehow" shot himself in the upper thigh? It really doesn't make much sense, if you ask me.
19. I dnt know if he is an idiot but I know he is fine as hell!
