Earlier today on ESPN, it was reported that Plaxico Burress has been sentened to 2 years in prison after having possession of a loaded gun and shooting himself in late 2008. I understand the guy had a gun but the fact that he shot himself seems like a pretty good punishment. It's almost safe to say that Plax's NFL career may be over. It seems that black males in the NFL can't seem to stay out of the public eye and out of trouble and that angers me a little; the spotlight is squared on them soon as they make names for themselves. What's even more unfortunate is that Burress supposedly turned down an earlier sentence that would have gave him 3 months time and he would have only served 2. I hope that he can somehow bounce back in 2012...that's of course if Goodell doesn't to suspend him for more time.
