Seriously?

I honestly don't even know what to say about Plaxico Burress anymore.  He misses meetings, gets more fines than he does catches, and now has shot himself in the thigh.  It's unbelievable what this guy does.  He held out for more money, or at least tried to, and for what?  His numbers are way down, and the Giants are 3-0 with out him this year.  Plus, they have found a solid replacement in Dominik Hixon.  I don't want to admit it, but perhaps the Giants are better off with out him.

Burress is just the latest in a long list of players who can't stop causing problems for themselves.  Everyone knows about Adam "Pacman" Jones.  He gets arrested, then again, then "shoots" up a night club, then gets suspended for a year, then comes back, then causes more trouble, then gets another chance.  Whether or not he blows this chance remains to be seen, but the point is that it is becoming an epidemic in the NFL were players cause too many problems for themselves, and distractions for their teams.

In NBA news, how about those Knicks?  They're not playing the BEST basketball in the Eastern Conference, but they have been playing well considering what they have...or don't have.  Their top pick has played 3 games tops, their best two players have been traded away, and the little talent they have left is more like a college team.  However, they managed to win 138-125 on Saturday, and even scored 82 points in the first half, a team record.  I'm not saying the Knicks are going to make it to the playoffs, but they won't be horrible.  Well, not THAT horrible.  Look on the bright side, we're one day closer to July 1, 2010!

Well I to also wrote a blog abut this and it realy is just pathetic. Why do althetes just carry guns around I really don't get it. If you need to be in a place where you have to have a gun you would think hey maybe I shouldn't go in their. I know your a Giants fan but I just hope Burress does do the jail time not just for having the gun, but just for being such an idiot and shooting himself.
