Former Super Bowl hero and New York Giants WR Plaxico Burress has been sentenced to two-years on a weapons charge. Burress was at the Latin Quarter nightclub in Manhattan last November when a gun tucked into his waistband slipped down his leg and fired, shooting him in the thigh.

On November 29th, 2008, New York Giants star receiver Plaxico Burress shot himself in a nightclub. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has held a hard line stance for disciplining trouble players in recent years.

The New York Giants announced on Friday that they have released troubled WR Plaxico Burress, four months after he accidentally shot himself in the leg.

One might think shooting yourself in the leg is enough punishment, but not so. On Monday, NY Giants WR Plaxico Burress turned himself in to police. He is expected to be charged with criminal possession of a handgun after accidentally shooting himself in the right thigh at a Manhattan nightclub. He is expected to plead not guilty.

It is unclear whether New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress shot himself last night or what. But one thing is clear; he won’t be playing in Sunday’s game.
