Plaxico Burress?
Sounds like the name of a pharmaceutical company.

Paxico is the Giants Michael Vick. He gets a big contract and he’s been self destructing ever since.

Lucky for the Giants, he’s unneeded.

I knew this fellow was going to be something special when in his first pre-season game he caught a pass and fell to the ground by himself, got up and punctuated his achievement by spinning the ball to the ground ... only trouble was he wasn’t in college any more, and since he hadn’t be yet been touched, he had just committed his very first professional fumble.

What morons are many of these pro athletes. They have a dream job with lots of $$$ plus the opportunity for achieving sports greatness. Yet they self-destruct and often throw it all away. Plus the sight of Burress on the sidelines with his cap tilted sideways making him look loke a punk is annoying. What an idiot yet a gifted athlete.
Man up Plax!

Well, why don't we wait until the details come in before drawing conclusions. Maybe he has a CCW - which we all support here - and a real accident occurred.

You'd think with your handle you'd cut him a little slack, eh?
