Plaxico Burress, wide receiver for the New York Giants, was charged with two felony weapon counts, for possession of a weapon that he did not have a permit for. Idiotic move, to the say the least. Here’s my issue though: why are you at a club on a Friday night before a game? Don’t you have a two year old son, don’t you have a wife? Weren’t you injured? Shouldn’t you have been getting rest? Why won’t you learn? I just don’t get it.

As a NFL player, you have certain responsibilities: Show up to meetings( something he doesn’t take to kindly to), show up to practices (another thing he doesn’t like doing), and play in the games( something he does very well). When you fail on two out of three, you have a problem. When you exacerbate the issue, by going out to a club, you’ve lost control. Get help. Go to rehab, do something. Playing football is the least of your concerns.

I like Plax, I do. As a die hard Giant fan, nothing beats him catching the game winning pass in the Super Bowl. This is just asinine, though. I’m trying to express my thoughts, but all that comes out is anger, so, trust me, the backspace button is very valuable in this case. In all seriousness, Plaxico, stay out of the public eye, stay out of the clubs, put the guns away, and get help. We’ll all be better for it.
