Burress wounded in accidental shooting

Sources: Burress wounded in accidental shooting

New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress suffered an accidental gunshot wound Friday night in a club, according to multiple sources.

Details of the incident weren't immediately available, but according to a source the wound was not considered life-threatening.

Fox Sports.com reported that Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg and spent the night in the hospital.

Burress, who was not expected to play against the Washington Redskins on Sunday with a hamstring injury, was not at team meetings and did not attend the team's Saturday walkthrough.

The Giants organization was not commenting on the story.

In September, Burress was suspended for a game and fined for a violation of team rules, reportedly failing to appear at a team meeting and being unavailable by phone. At the time, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said that Burress was tending to urgent family matters.

Burress signed a five-year, $35 million contract this fall after helping the Giants to a Super Bowl championship last season.

freakin bad ass...talk about shooting yourself

[tonylongoriafan]

the foot is attached to the leg, so i'm going with it

[PeterBurns]

This is great. I mean just perfect.
If it's true that it was his gun, and he accidently fired it, and shot himself.
I freaking love it.

Guy deserves not to play again if rolling into a club with a loaded gun. Very often the sports karma gods hit a home run, but they went yard with this one!

I'm guessing he's played his last game for the Giants. Anyone want a guy like that now?:nope

[jack sommerset]

:lol @ shooting himself at a club no less

[tonylongoriafan]

Dallas Cowboys...count on it baby...2010 Super Bowl :toast

I'm waiting for the reports to come out that shooting himself is a cover story.

[dbreiden83080]

All the Regular season success in the world doesn't change the fact that nobody can cover that guy when he is healthy. Come playoff time, him not on the field may be the only thing in the way of back to back Superbowls for the Giants. I say assuming the league doesn't suspend him for the rest of the year, give him another shot and maybe cut him at the end of the year. Giants have a chance to make history this year, don't lose it because you cut Burress loose to soon.. Pro sports is only about winning, i don't care about how big an asshole Burress is, he's a great player, they need him..

[Spurtacus]

What a dumbass :lol

[Obstructed_View]

ESPN's reporting that they're going to charge him for gun posssession, and he's going to plead not guilty. :wtf

"Your honor, please allow me to enter exhibit A into evidence: A bullet hole in the defendent's leg." :lol

[dbreiden83080]

It's amazing how some people will blow apart what is a perfect situation for them

Got a new deal at the start of the season

Giants won the Superbowl last year

They have been the best team in the NFL most of the year, with a great chance to repeat as champs

And his reponse is to blow off practice and team meetings, act like an ass and get busted with a hand-gun in a night-club

"Your honor, please allow me to enter exhibit A into evidence: A bullet hole in the defendent's leg." :lol

Yeah, I laughed at that as well. Forget Burress, the G-men are going to be lucky if Antonio Pierce gets out of this scott free.

[dbreiden83080]

I love how even the Mayor of NY wants to make a big deal out of this, saying "They need to prosecute Burress all out" What he did was stupid and kind of funny, but there are far worse offenses.. The only one that got hurt and embarassed was him.

[clambake]

was it a .40 caliber round? a .40 caliber round is a SERIOUS round.

and it was a glock? anyone that knows glocks won't walk around with it chambered.

[jack sommerset]

This cat is going to jail. What a dumbass. How can you plead not guilty to having a gun when you shoot urself. Good God man. No doubt he will go to jail,lose his contract,have to pay back his bonus and at 31 of age most likely never play ball again. The sad thing is he probably thinks he did nothing wrong.

No shit WTF was he doing taking that into a bar where people are drinking? This is worse then Pacman IMO.

[NorCal510]

ted ginn
randell el
p crayton
mark bradley
michael jenkins
domenik hixon
devin hestor
devon bess
joey galloway

[chode_regulator]

btw did anyone see his agent on MNF. whta a douche.

pretty funny that he shot himself, but i dont understand all these rich motherfuckers running around acting like theyre hardcore or something. like he has to have a gun or he's going to get killed.

i see taht the min sentence is 3.5 yrs if convicted. ouch!

[Texas Chili Dog]
