I hope it ends his career........

Plexico Buress, former Pittsburgh Steeler, current (?) New York Giant, took his gun to a club over last weekend and somehow shot himself in the leg! He makes how many millions to play football! I don't know why on earth these "bad seed" players do things to jeopardize their careers. Stupid. If he felt that threatened that he has to take a gun to club for a nite out on the town, then stay home.
Is he that full of yourself or just that paranoid that you think you need to carry a gun? You can take the boy outta the hood, but not the hood outta the boy, I guess.
Anyway, if you don't know the story, the gun fires for whatever reason and the idiot shoots himself in the leg. He goes to the hospital, where by law, they are supposed report any gunshot wounds to the police, but don't. They said he didn't have ID with him when he got to the hospital and he was admitted for treatment under a false name. Hospitals admit you under John Doe until they can get your ID or someone else verifies who you are. So, he went to the hospital, knew he would be in big sh$t for this, lied about who he was and one of his homies verified it at the hospital so no one would know. Okay. He's in the NFL. A New York Giant. He goes to a NEW YORK hospital. Don't you think someone would recognize him? He IS stupid. The Giants don't report it to the police either. Sounds like aiding and abedding a felon to me.
So, on top of all this, he doesn't have a permit to carry in the state of New York. Only in Florida. He's not IN Florida! What? He didn't know that you need a permit from every state separately? So if you are traveling all over the states to play football in other NFL towns, you need permits to take your gun with you.
And how did he get this gun on the plane? He didn't drive from Florida. Did he check the gun case as luggage?
I agree with the Mayor of New York. He should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Minimum 3 and a half years jail time. I hope it ends his career and makes his multimillion dollar contract null and void. The NFL should make the teams put a "conduct unbecoming" clause in all the contracts for players, coaches, and staff. They make big money. Kids look up to them as roll models. What are you saying when you take a gun to a niteclub and end up shooting yourself? Or being involved in dog fighting. Or being pulled over and the cops find blunts in your vehicle. It's not all about you. I am not saying that you have to be perfect, but, DUI's, drug possession, gun possession, murder should all be considered behavior unbecoming and should nullify your NFL contract. No signing bonus money, no suspension with pay, nothing. No get out of jail free card. Do not Pass go and collect your millions. You get ZERO! And no Hall of Fame nomination, either. Ever. You're done son.
Pete Rose gambled on baseball games. They crucified him. Ray Lewis killed a man. Nothing. San Tonio Holmes busted for weed (blunts) in his car on a traffic stop. Nothing. Game suspension from The Steelers. Michael Vick got what he deserved for the dog fighting crap. So, Plex should see jail time for this assinine act.
I'll climb down off the soapbox now.....................
