Plaxico Burress has pleaded guilty to a weapons charge and will serve a two-year prison sentence for carrying a loaded gun into a Manhattan nightclub and having it go off and shoot him in the leg.
The tall dominant wide receiver had resisted accepting a settlement which included jail time but he didn't have a choice.
This will shut him down for at least two football seasons and maybe more.
This could be the end of his career since he's already 31 years old.
Ironically the last football season Burress played in, ended with him catching a last minute touchdown that sowed up a Super Bowl Championship for the Giants.
I was looking at the Giants/Panthers game the other day and they still haven't been able to replace Plaxico.
