I am New York Giants fan that also appreciates the talent of players not on the best team in the league. I cheer on T.O and Julius Jones, Darren Sproles and Randy Moss. Most of all, I like watching a good game, with talented players that don't resort to low blows or cheap shots to win a game. You win some and lose some, in football and in life. So heres to the game---

a fan of

Cleveland Cavaliers National Basketball Association Team

New York Giants National Football League Team

Ohio St. Buckeyes NCAA Men's Football Division 1A Team

Ohio St. Buckeyes NCAA Men's Basketball Division 1 Team

Kasey Kahn NASCAR Driver(s)

New York Giants Defense Fantasy Team

Big Blue View Plaxico Burress



We all know that Plax has a history of doing what he wants to do right? But to take away 2 years of his life for shooting himself? I am not saying that there should not have been consequences for his actions, but he lost his mega million dollar job, loses time with his family and for what? Because the current mayor of New York wants it that way. In the beginning, he made a statement that he was going to do what he could to see that Plaxico Burress served prison time. Did the bouncer who let him in the club that night carrying a concealed weapon receive anything? Doubtful!!!!

I think that Plaxico is a hell of an athlete and is just being used to make a point. I know I am a Giants fan, but I am also a fan of right and wrong. The man shot himself, didn't threaten anyone else, didn't try to take the gun out at all. He was carrying it for his own protection. Michael Vick got 23 months in federal prison and 3 years probation for his illegal acts. Which in my opinion were more ruthless and vicious that Plaxico's .

However, its only my opinion. That is one thing that our beautiful legal system has taken away from us. Freedom of Speech still lives.
