Is Plaxico Burress Just Another Dumb Jock?
NY Giants WR Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the thigh at a Manhattan nightclub over the weekend. He is now in police custody after turning himself in earlier today on felony weapons charges. It seems Burress is not licensed to carry a concealed weapon in NYC much less inside a crowded nightclub. Lickily he didn’t kill anyone. Burress is awaiting arraignment sometime this afternoon.
Burress went to the Latin Quarter nightclub but was initially turned away, according to the New York Daily News. But the paper says club management had a change of heart after Burress came back, “flashing jewelry and carrying loads of cash,” reportedly telling management he needed the gun for protection.According to the Daily News, Burress was being taken into a VIP area when he fumbled with the gun as it began slipping down his pant leg. The gun fired, and the bullet tore through his leg.
According to the paper Burress told his teammate Antonio Pierce not to call 911. Pierce then reportedly helped Burress out of the club. Source
According to TMZ.com Burress hired the same lawyer that got Sean Combs a unanimous “not guilty” in his 1999 gun case.
Burress was treated and released from a NYC hospital following the incident. Late Sunday afternoon, someone at Burress’ New Jersey home turned the gun over to police.

…that’s putting it politically correct, I was thinking something else…..
Well he is an idiot, and how the club going to allow him to come in with the gun, they should also be in trouble. he’s an asshole, just listen to how he speaks, straight hood.. Plus as you can see we don’t need him.. 11-1 and i smell a 2peat.. GGGGGGIANTS!!!!
First PacMan now this f*ckup. This is exactly why n*ggaz stay broke ALWAYS DOIN DUMB SH!T
this is why you can’t even own a motorcycle your first year in the nba. cause rookies are just stoopid. these folks pay you good dayum money to play a sport in a multi million $$ industry (sports).
you think they paying you for your smarts? or your looks? or your personality?
and i said rookies are stupid. what is p.burress and pac man and ocho cinco’s excuses?
Hmmmmm….I don’t know about him being stupid as much as I know he is fine!
PLAIN OLE’ STUPID!!!!
Yep! he is a dumb azz, oh well he is not a Dallas Cowboy
He is just another dumb jock BUT what does that say about the club owner. He let him in with the gun BECASUE he flashed jewels and money.
What kind of name is Plaxico???
@ilovepink: i agree, but you can’t blame it on the owner, it’s the club security…which goes back to the promoters and owner though…
this is a classic case of when keeping it real goes wrong…damn dummy…how about you hire personal security, go to a different club, or stay ur a$$ at home…
Plaxico, is indefinitely stupid.
And will forever be ranked on for shooting himself in the THIGH and walking out of the club like nothing happened.
Every time I see him walk, I will laugh.
But it’s all good though ;o)
BTW, I wonder will he still be able to play football?
@ Amulet .. not in NY .. i highly doubt it … he’s done son
Thank you #13. This is a prime example of when “Keeping it Real Goes Wrong!” I thank GAWD he’s not a PITTSBURGH STEELER any more.
Dumb A$$!
Stupid, Stupid, Stupid man…. I don’t understand why he would carry a gun instead of hiring a bodygaurd. Now he will be in jail, loose his contract, in debt, leg will never be the same to play, no other team will pick him up anyway… Back to the hood you go… Good luck with that cause if I was your neighbor when you returned I will laugh while walking past you everydamnday.
The NFL is gonna change rules about hiring black men to play football. Always fu*cking something up
Plaxico sounds like a gas station.
DDDDDDDDiiiivvvinneeee!!!!!
I was just gonna say that. . .it sounds like one of them gas stations in the middle of nowhere in Mexico.
LMAO…
It really does!!!
Aye…did you ever handle those chicks that were messin up the church’s money? That wouldve been a “situtation” for real!!!
Hello all! How do you spell dumb? P-l-a-x-i-c-o. Should he be given another chance? Hell to the naw! There are thousands, perhaps millions, of young black men out there who are willing and able to throw a f****** football for millions and millions of dollars! I just wish they would pay our teachers, social workers, firefighters and any other public servant more money for real and worthwhile work. After all, it’s just a f****** game and life ain’t no game. Peace.
I’m with Candi, hire a bodyguard. Better yet, stay your black a** home. If you need a gun to go to the club, then just maybe you shouldn’t go. And then you shoot yourself in the thigh. He’s lucky!
But the NFL needs to implement an annual and mandatory “Dont’t Be Stupid” Conference. Its sad, but most of these players are just not all there. They have too much money and no common sense, a deadly combination. Not all players, but too many.
Girl, I was so heated on Friday words can’t even explain it. I walked down to the b!tch’s office after lunch and I asked her about my money, she said that we won’t be getting paid until today 12 AM. I asked why this happened and she tried to blame it on the holiday. I looked at her right in her face and said not to ever let that happen again bc nobody plays with my money, NOBODY!
HER- Is that a threat?
ME- It is what you want it to be, how can you forget to do your main priority? People depend on their money and this isn’t something that should be taken lightly, perhaps you shouldn’t have this great responsibility!
HER- Don’t threaten me. . .
ME- Trust, it’s not a threat! It won’t ever happen again. Let me call the owner to cut me my check bc the person who is in charge of that forgot to do it.
HER- He already knows. . .
ME- He hasn’t heard me. . .
I called him in front of her and he made her cut me my check and $200 bonus, or should I say “be cool” money!
And I left early cuz I wasn’t about to stay in the same building as that stank ass b!tch!
Herm…awww damn! How you gon take shots at the money bish?
She is gonna “G” check yo’ azz!!! Lol
Next pay period she is putting 10 cents in your account. Talkin bout..”Now lemme see what chu made of”
She ain’t gonna take shots at me, she’s knows this homie don’t play that. Plus, I got dirt on her and the Vice President getting freaky in his office. That’s the only reason she still has a job, cuz she sickin his dyck!
Let her play with me and I’ll play her right back, don’t phuck with my money!
I swear I will bust her silicon tits with my motha f*cken heel!
ROTFLMAO…and just leave it there hanging out the boob when you walk away.
Please get a video so we can do a post about u.
She’ll be done when he finds another Lewinski to rock his mic. I bet her money was in on time. Plus, you deposit money EARLY when pay day lands on a holiday. Did she think about that
No…Plax is NOT a “dumb jock”…
Plax make “dumb jocks” look like friggin’ “Rhode Scholars”, “Oxford University” graduates and receipients of the “MacArthur Genius Grant”
hermosa, don’t mess around and get fired in this f’d up economy!
When keeping it real goes wrong…
