Once again this week, sports fans were treated to another pro athlete running afoul with the law over a firearm incident. This time though, the athlete of note actually shot himself. In the leg, even. Ladies & gentlemen, I give you Deputy Bernard P. F...er, Plaxico Burress.
Now, it is worth mention that this could've been truly tragic. An innocent person could've been struck by Plax's stray bullet; or Plax himself could've ended his career...heck, his LIFE...with his itchy trigger finger.
I don't understand how these guys who make zillions of dollars and are "living the dream" can chuck it all away like a Rex Grossman sideline toss. Hasn't anyone learned from the Pacman? Oh wait, he still has yet another chance. Ok, bad example. Alright, what about Chris Henry then? Oops, sorry. He's still on an NFL roster too.
Geez, sign me to a $5mm contract, just for one season. I may not make a catch in a live game, but I'll fulfill every fan's autograph requests, stay out of trouble with the po-po, keep away from incidents in the nightclub...and laugh all the way to the bank.
