I think Plaxico's pretty much done. The NFL's insanely competitive and the high level of talent is incomprehensible. He's facing a minimum 3+ years in the joint. Even if he beats it, by the time he sorts out his legal troubles, he'll have been replaced by half a dozen other guys.
and never mind that he probably has done some hardcore permanent damage to his leg...what a freaking idiot...still stuns me how moronic some are and I hope he can never contribute to the gene pool

Stuff like this is representative of the decline in society generally. In the days before free-agency and multi-million dollar contracts for 20 year olds, you didn't see this kind of shit. Atheletes had some self-discipline. And if they didn't, their teams did.
I saw the Giant's coach on TV today, and the guy was going on and on about how disappointed he was, how sad it was, etc. I don't think Bear Bryant or Lombardi would have been so sappy if any of their guys had pulled shit like this. They'd have ripped the guy a new one.
Imagine Joe Dimaggio saying the kind of crap about Marilyn Monroe the Avery did?
Jim Brown was one of the fiercest running backs of all time, but I don't recall him ever taking his "nine" to a nightclub and blowing a hole in his leg.
Spoiled, pampered, assholes.
