Plaxico Buress Saga
New York sports got another black eye aside from the Stephon Marbury circus when last years super bowl hero Plaxico Buress shot himelf in the leg at a New York City nightclub. The good thing from all this is that he didn't spill any of the wine he was holding while unloading the gun. Not exactly employee of the month material he had previous run ins with the team front office when he missed practice to take his 2 year old to school and failed to notify team officals. Then there was another incident during a game when the coach questioned a penalty he recieved and got a profanity laced tirade from Plaxico for his troubles. Details are emarging about a massive coverup by the Giants, the hospital he was taken care of for treatment and the gun bieng possibly taken from the scene by a teamate. His season is over and carrer may be as well. There is the possibility of jail time. The Giants at least had the good sense to make his contract a non guaranteed one contingent on his behavior so it will not count against the salary cap if his playing career is done.
