Thankfully I traded him before the deadline in one fantasy league a couple of weeks ago. Forget who I got in return, but it's better than a free agent! Way to possibly end your career, Plaxico. What in the hell were you doing carrying around a firearm without a permit? In New York, of all places! If he had been smoking, Bloomberg would call for the death penalty.
You would think this is the biggest sport's story of the year with the round the clock coverage of Placixo. If Plaxico played for the KC Chiefs do you think Sportscenter would even mention that he shot himself???? NOOOOOOO. ESPN and the rest of the media thinks the world revolves around NYC. I think even the Giants don't want to hear anymore about this.
Substitute "Plaxico Burress" for "Terrell Owens." Hell, take it one step further and imagine that Plax, TO, and Brett Favre had all shot each other. ESPN would be inconsolable.
