That is the first question I asked when I read about Plaxico Burress latest incident. When I first read the headline I thought he was shot by someone else then as I continued reading I found out he in fact was the one who shot himself in the right thigh. Obviously I am sure everyones first question is why did he have a gun with him in the first place which I would love to know the answer to but we will probably never find out.  I find it interesting that Burress was nursing a hamstring injury that was due to keep him out of the game today but yet he was well enough to go out & party it up well I guess we can all agree that his hamstring is the least of his worries at this moment.

With all the gun related deaths in the NFL in the past few years including Darrent Williams & Sean Taylor you think these players would be more careful about who they associate with and what they do. Granted Plaxico only ended up shooting himself in the thigh but what would have happened had he ended up accidentally shooting an innocent bystander his career could have all been gone with one shot going off & hitting someone. As of the time the article I read online was published according to the time stamp it says 3 hours ago the cops had not talked to Burress or collected the gun. What pisses me off about this is had this been your average Joe the cops would have been all over him from the beginning heck they probably would have interrogated him in the hospital but yes Plaxico gets to walk out of there with out so much as talking to a police officer but I guess that is what happens when your a pro athlete. I can’t wait to see the outcome of this & what the NFL does about this.
