1. Let him out.

2. The yin and the yang...in two years his kid will be out of diapers and he will be wearing them due to the "extra attention" his fellow inmates will give him.

3. STOP DEFENDING HIM SAYING 2 YEARS FOR SHOOTING HIMSELF - HEREs THE DETAILS:


The bullet narrowly missed a nightclub security guard who was standing inches away, prosecutors said. It lodged in the floor and was recovered by a bartender.

The gun was not licensed in New York or in New Jersey, where Burress lived. His license to carry a concealed weapon in the state of Florida had expired in May 2008.

5. Tragic????

Because he illegally carried a concealed weapon?
Because he was stupid enough to shoot himself?
Because he is grossly overpaid for playing a game?

To hell with him: lose the key.

6. This man has no one but himself to blame for this. His arrogant "rules don't apply to me" stupidity has cost him possibly his career, his family his presence and fans the joy of watching him play. When I think of how easily he could have shot someone other than himself, my sympathy goes out the window. What a waste.

7. What was tragic was Plaxico spiking the football and thumping his chest after a catch even though the ball was still live. It's not a surprise that he shot himself.

9. Lessons to be learned here: don't go to places you need to carry in the first place, stay home and take care of your kids, just becasue your a high profile athlete doesn't make you bullet proof, if you must carry don't carry a gun in the waistband of warm up pants, don't carry a Glock with one in the pipe they don't have safeties, invest in a good quality holster you can afford it, hire trained bodyguards to deal with trouble if it comes you can afford it. If Plax would have done any of these things he would have been there on Monday night in Dallas.

10. I have no sympathy for morons. Now he gotta take doo doo's with no privacy for 2 years. don't drop the soap

11. another typical sentence for a black man...yet, Farrah's drug-selling/addicted son who had concaine while he was on parole, but yet, he just got more parole. And why is the white whale, Rush Limbaugh, who is a drug-addicted, prescription forging felon, received no time. America hasn't changed a bit.

12. i think plax is an example,assuming this is his first offense,he should be on probation doing plenty of community service or psa not doing time for a first offense, if it is his first offense.
his attorneys?

13. Um... that was David Tyree who caught the game winning touchdown pass. Check your facts, TMZ..

14. he was an amazing football talent...he will b missed by me and sure by many others... i hope he fairs well during this this time and will pray all goes well for him and his family. hopefully he will b able to return to the game if the team will have him back and he is able and willing. a mistake...dont we all make em? intentional harm was not committed here and the only person hurt/injured was plax. 2 yrs seems harsh to me. goodness people are so cold hearted these days...
