Now...lets see if we can get Plax, Tank, Pac-Man, Vick, and Chris Henry to play for the Bills. Toronto will ship that team back to Buffalo faster than you can say "Illigitimate Armed Kid Figting Rings" with stripper preludes.

First Tiki, then Strahan, now Plax... is Eli next?

The Giants are turning into the early-2000s Seattle Mariners. Except, you know, they actually won something.

Then this is probably the wrong time to be seen in public with a 1950s mobster.

We're already hearing talk about who will sign Michael Vick when he gets out of federal prison. If Vick is going to get a job in the NFL eventually, I'm sure Plaxico Burress will be back in the league sometime next season. I'd be surprised if Burress even gets jail time.

@Peter Cavan: You can't jump from "Vick will get a job when he gets out of jail" to "Plaxiglass won't even get jail". You're talking about two different controlling bodies, unless the NFL now determines how much/if players go to jail.

@DorkimusPrime: I'm suggesting that talk of Plaxico Burress being out of football for a long time is as premature as talk of Michael Vick getting signed the day he walk out of prison. There are legal issues and NFL penalties for each of them. But saying "Plaxico Burress has played his last game for the New York Giants-and maybe his last NFL game for a long, long time" sounds doubtful to me. The Giants won't have him back, but I'm sure someone will pick him up if he's at all eligible next season.

@Peter Cavan: In a similar situation, with the same defense attorney, Sean Combs got off scot-free while Shyne went away for 10 years. The difference here being that all the prosecution witnesses in that case already filed civil suits against Combs, which was the basis the defense used to discredit them. I'm thinking this is heading more for the Shyne side of things.

@formerly Chief Wahoo: With Bloomberg out for coronation as King of New York (cue the Newsies) I think Plax pleads out, but gets at least half the minimum sentence.

@Enthused_But_Fired: The tricky part is that you can only plea less than the minimum pre-indictment. If he's smart he goes that way, but if he thinks he has a shot at walking and goes to trial it could be bad for him. But hey, he's probably not the type to think he can get away without consequences because he's famous.

@Peter Cavan: I thinks that now that the Giants have put him on idiotic reserve that his lawyer will move swiftly in this case.

Assuming he didnt shoot him self while attempting to brandish the gun and in light of the fact that the gun (I think) was registered in Florida, not the same as just having a COMPLETLY unregistered gun.

I suggest Reckless endangerment in the first degree with a 6 month sentence, 6 months suspended. What he's done is no worse than drunk driving and I've seen people walk out with all but a comendation for that.

Oh and Mr. Mayor for Life Bloomberg, hey yeah, what he did was wrong but unfortunatly he lacks the ability to change the law to suit his desires like some people I know.

If he'd used a shotgun he could've claimed a football related injury.
