Did any of you watch this interview? Athletes wonder why they get a bad rap for being dumb. Plexico Burress was a hero in the Superbowl just over a year ago. He caught a touchdown, got a ring and a new $40 million dollar contract.
The guy goes into the club with a loaded gun and shoots himself in the leg. REALLY! So you don't know the New York law about guns and you live there? REALLY! You walk up a few steps and trip and the gun slides down your pants and goes off? REALLY!
Does this make any sense to anyone. You should have just stayed quite. There is no way anyone is giving you sympathy now. The interview with Jeremy Shaap on E:60 was not worth it. Plexico looked dumb and uneducated.
He claims one of his teammates was robbed at gun point so he started to carry the gun. He picked one of his friends up from the same neighborhood his teammate was robbed in and didn't feel safe. These are not the back streets of Compton. This is a very nice neighborhood in NYC. He tells Jeremy Shaap that if he didn't have to pick up his friend he wouldn't have had the gun.
Okay, so why not put the gun in the glove box when you go into the club? Plexico your looking dumb here. As I'm watching this I'm thinking... this guy was educated at Michigan State. I really wanted to attend State when I was younger. Shoot! A lot of my cousins went there. They alumni must be going crazy watching this.
As the interview goes on he talked about walking in the club. They searched him and from what he says the guards new he had a gun. What the hell do you search people for if your not looking for weapons? I'm not going into a club that lets people in with weapons. That's just stupid. After he gets by security, he is walked up to the VIP room with his teammate Antonio Pierce. Plexico says he missed a step and the gun slipped down his pant leg. Do you not know how to walk? Then he said he grab the gun on the trigger and that is when it shot him in the leg. What the hell are you thinking? He said he didn't realize he was shot until he looks down at his Chuck Taylor shoe and the white rubber is covered in red. So he knows hes bleeding.
Let me get this straight you get in the club with a gun, the gun you had because you felt unsafe in a neighborhood your buddy lives in. You trip walking up the stairs and shoot yourself in the leg. But you didn't know you were shot until you saw the blood on your shoe. Then all you can think of is your family and if your going to die.
Why didn't you have a holster? Why didn't you leave it in the car after you left the scary neighborhood? Why do you even need a gun.? Your a damn football player! Plexico made himself look like a real idiot when he did this. You not only could have killed yourself, you could have killed someone else for being stupid. And to top it all off you don't know the New York law on weapons. Its your own damn fault.
If I'm an athlete! I'm at my huge house with my good friends partying every night, if that's what you want to do. Why do you need to go out? People see you on TV all the time. Who cares. Make your cash and relax. But Plex couldn't do that.
Now the guy has to go to jail for two years. He pretty much ruined his career and may never get a chance to play again in the NFL. What are you thinking when this goes down? He says he lucky. Yeah you are. But you could have stopped it. Your that big of a wuss you need a gun? Ill never understand it. These guys always have to learn the hard way and its just getting old.
I say the league just starts banning these guys for ever.
That's what is on my Mind!
SIMSZEE
ALWWAYZ STRAAP'D WHEN I HIT DA CLUB!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what his Wonderlic score was. This guy is not the sharpest tool in the ahead by any means. I find it appauling that players like Vick and Burress can go through 3 years of college and pronounce "ask" as "axe" or write a sentence and use the letter "u" instead of spelling out "you" and not know the difference. There's a reason these two don't Twitter and it's because these idiots don't know how to spell. Vince Young scored a 6 on the Wonderlic. You're considered illiterate if you score a 9 or lower. He scored a 6.... How can a person go through junior high let alone college and not know how to read or write? These schools need to be held responsible for turning out illiterate athletes. It's ok to market these athletes and make millions of dollars off their jerseys and apparel, but they can't teach them the basics. Doesn't make sense. I'm sick of this bullshit too mike. It's a privledge to play in the NFL, not a right!
