New York Giants receiver suffers accidental gunshot wound

[TSB]

Never considered pro atheletes as the brightest bulbs in the rack and this guy just confirms that for me.  At least he shot himself and not someone else...just another dumbass jock!

They just said on local NY radio that police will probably be pressing criminal charges against this idiot in the morning.  Good..............coming from someone who has an unrestricted NYC and NY State carry permit, and knowing what I went through to get them, he deserves whatever he gets. There is no worse place in the country to try something as stupid as carrying an illegal gun.  As we all know, guns just don't go off by themselves.  I can just see this guy showing it off in the club, or something to that effect, and next thing you know it goes off.

Bottomline......he doesn't have a leg to stand on....................

Yes he does, but ONLY ONE

"As Burress was being led into a VIP area, with a drink in his hand, the gun slipped down his pants leg. He reached for the weapon, but fumbled it and it went off, sources said."

Automatic DQ.

AP reports that Burress will be charged with criminal possession of a handgun and will turn himself into the NYPD tomorrow......AND plead not guilty..........

In NYC?...........lots of luck Plaxico.

1st prediction.  Old Plexiglass Burrows, from the Stupid Bowl Champ Giants, will pay a huge fine and will get a suspended sentence so as not to adversly effect the Giants season....

Any one of us, at least in MA would be at least a year in jail, maybe more....

not all of them are idiots, people like Steve Young, were in post grade studys while he was playing for BYU.  I think it should be a pre req for pro sports, no college degree... you can't play.

In the thirty five years I've been working, I've met hundreds of degreed engineers that I consider BONEHEADS.  A college education has nothing to do with intelligence, IMHO...  Intelligence is genetic.....you either have some or you don't...we graduate 1,000,000 students every year that can't read above an eighth grade level.....

As far as pro sports, the only ones left without steroids and gang bangers are Curling and Badminton.....

Please. The colleges will just expand the 'communications major' category for the athletes to get them to their school.  My college team actually arranged for athlete's work to get done for them if they had the  IQ of a world class sprinting rock.
