The Distress of Burress...

I was watching Good Day NY this morning-- as I do every morning, and I heard the latest news about our wayward homie Plaxico Burress. He has been suspended from the NFL (not quite sure if that's just for this season or not), and he will be fined (possibly up to 800,000) by the city of New York...

According to Burress, one of his teammates (Steve Smith) got robbed at gunpoint on the night after Thanksgiving. He was walking into his home after being dropped off by a chauffered vehicle, when he was approached with by a gunman from behind. He had to give up his wallet, jewels and cell phone. When word got back to the rest of the team, they were nervous. Apparently Burress was extra-nervous and started strappin' up.

Because of Burress' lack of better judgement many people have been hurt by this incident. The Latin Quarters club he was at is under investigation for allowing a gun into their establishment. They will likely get shutdown. The hospital worker that admitted him after he shot himself is getting fired-- it's against the law to admit a patient with a gunshot wound and not call police. The doctor that operated on Burress had his licence to practice in hospitals stripped-- for the same reason. It's so sad that all these people have suffered because of their lack of judgement as well as Burress'. Let this be a lesson to you-- always look out for #1 because when the ish hits the fan... You know the rest.
