It says he's expected to serve at least 20 months. Does this qualify him for an honorary Darwin award? He won't be reproducing for at least that length of time!

The law's pretty clear. There really wasn't any way around this for him, no matter how many people wanted to compare it to other sentences for entirely different crimes in other states.

Plaxico is a prime example of what this particular law is there to prevent - idiots stuffing guns in their pants with the safety off in places where alcohol, stupidity, testosterone, and violence often mix. I think it's wonderful he shot himself and has to go to jail.

Only if he had shot himself in his third leg. Perhaps if he had blown his dick off, the judge would have gone easier on him, I mean how do you send a dickless guy to prison?

In a dress?

[Scott Campbell]

I can't imagine anyone signing him at 34 years old after 2 years in the joint rotting away. And he's got the added baggage of being a terrible locker room guy.


You really fucked it up this time Plax.

[Packerarcher]

I don't care for Plax at all,but this country is going down the shitter when he gets 2 years for shooting himself. Stallworth get's a slap on the wrist for killing someone. Just shows the gun control nazis wanted to make an example out of him.

Only time we've ever agreed!

[Zool]

Well the law is pretty cut and dry in the situation. They werent making an example at all. Unless of course you can show me documented cases of people with the same charge and such a large amount of evidence against the defendant(including his own admission) being let off.

I wouldn't have been able to imagine a team doing anything similar, except for 2 words: Micheal Vick.

Football players have always gotten into trouble with the law, and been welcomed back with open arms - Pacman Jones (ok, he's in the CFL now!) Lawrence Phillips. But Vick getting another go around after 18 months in the joint still surprised me.

Vick is still in his prime, and wasn't known for being a bad locker room guy. Plax might get suspended by the NFL in addition to his prison time, so he could be pretty old before he's eligible to play again. Crazier things have happened, but it would not surprise me if we've seen the last of Plax in the NFL.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

Ty hasn't heard he was a bad lockerroom guy. His Gmen team seems to like him a lot.

Please give some specifics.

Stalworth pled out and it was a fair plea considering the DA was going to have a 50/50 shot at winning the case. The guy that was hit by the car Stalworth was driving may have been at fault(not watching for traffic, running across the street without paying attention), it was going to be hard to prove that regardless of alcohol that the accident could not have been avoided.

I love guns, but what Paxico did was totally dangerous and he is lucky it was only himself that he injured. His stupidity with a fire arm could have cost somebody their life. Because of fools like him, responsible gun owners lose out. I am pissed I can't take my Glock .40 into a crowded club with loud music.
