Plaxico Burress' controversial year has just taken a turn for the worse.

The New York Giants wide receiver accidentally shot himself in the right thigh on Friday night, FOXSports.com has learned, not long after being ruled out of Sunday's game against the Redskins with a hamstring injury.

He spent the night in the hospital and the injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. The team is still trying to gather further information on the incident. Several media reports Saturday indicated the shooting took place in a nightclub.

Please note the last line I quoted... "took place in a nightclub."

WTF is Plax doing in a nightclub with a loaded gun?!

I can't help but think Goodell is going to put in an appearance.

He hasn't done anything except command a double team when on the field making no name wideouts more effective.......... Roll Eyes Let me know what a world beater Hixon is when Plaxico isn't around.

Agreed, but ever since the giants gave him that big contract the guy has been out of control. Distractions like this can be the only thing that can keep the giants from repeating. Jerry Reese has proved his worth as an talent evaluator. I wouldn't be suprised if burress never plays another down for the giants again.

According to a breaking news story, he owned the gun illegally and brought it into the nightclub illegally.  The police are expected to arrest him in the next few days. 

The story also says carrying an illegal concealed weapon in the state of New York carries a MANDATORY minimum 3.5 year prison sentence.

Just heard during the Giants/Skins game that Plaxico will be charged with carrying an illegal firearm, will turn himself in Mon. morning, and surprise, surprise, will plead not guilty.

They have his teammate, Pierce, by the short and curlies. He apparently tried to hide the gun - and may in fact have it in his car (the police do not have the gun and have not yet served a warrant to search Pierce's car). Reports are that he is cooperating fully in exchange for not being charged *immediately*.

I can GUARANTEE you he is done with the Giants,and probably the NFL for awhile.Goodell has made a name for himself thusfar by coming down hard on thug behavior(pac-man) and he won't go easy on this.Having an unlicensed firearm in your possesion in New York is a felony,but idiot is a filthy rich athlete so don't expect prison time.

He'll go away for a while. It's painfully (pun intended) obvious that he broke the law.
If he does indeed do the minimum of 3.5, it'll probably be the end of his career.
