Plaxico, Plaxico, Plaxico

Defending Super Bowl Champions, the New York Giants, are again on the verge of yet another outstanding season at their record increases to 11-1 for this 2008 season. As the season has been coming to an end, an unexpected event occured at a New York night club early Saturday morning. Giants starting wide receiver, Plaxico Burress, unexpectedly and unintentionally shot himself in the leg with his own gun. He was already planning on sitting out for Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury but now has found himself sitting out the last four games of the regular season and now facing legal charges for illegaly carrying around a firearm which he had not had a permit for. These athletes are professionals and need to start acting like professionals. They are role models and heros to many young fans and need to understand that. You have a job and a responsibility to your team, your fans, and yourself. Maybe these incidents will be a wakeup call to all NFL players and help them realize its a game only in a sense.
