Plaxico Shot in Club

Plax was accidentally shot (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3733021) himself in a club. Fortunately, it sounds like he will be okay.

I would avoid making jokes out of this situation as (1) a gunshot wound, even if it is not life threatening, is a serious injury and isn't really funny and (2) making such jokes in front of Giants fans will likely provoke a response that involves ST.

I will not joke about this, because it is obviously very serious. But after everything that has happened since Darrent Williams/ST were murdered, after everything the league has done to raise awareness, WTF is he doing in the club at 2am with a loaded gun in his belt?

Jokes aside, Plaxico is a fool for this. However, I am very glad to hear his injuries are not life threatening, and I hope he makes a full recovery.

Glad to know he nurses his injuries at a nightclub with a loaded pistol... But good thing he's ok

Sadly I think most NFL players have got it into their heads that they need some kind of loaded weapon or large security team just to stay safe... and they're probably right

Although Plaxico does look like an idiot heading straight for a nightclub as soon as he's cleared not to play Sunday and then shooting himself..

What are the chances he is suspended for the rest of the year?
Illegally discharging a weapon in a public place is a felony. I know he says it's an accident but I don't think that really matters. Also, Does he have a permit to carry a concealed weapon?


I think it's time for someone to step up and save him from himself before we lose another NFL player.

He shot himself in the leg, what an idiot!! What's is he doing carrying a gun in a nightclub? This is the distraction that we needed.

Glad to hear he's okay but life threatning or not gunshot wound is serious, the mental aspect alone.

one of my friends dad's was shot in the leg and everytime he would hear a loud bang or a car backfire he would relive it, it was some scary stuff

He shot himself in the leg, what an idiot!! What's is he doing carrying a gun in a nightclub? This is the distraction that we needed.

???? He's been acting like an idiot all season, and the only thing hurt by his antics is his on the field production. He's been fined, suspended, had a sideline altercation with Coughlin... and they are still 10-1. Just add this to the already long list of bonehead moves by Plax. I don't see it being a factor in the Giants' play whatsoever, IMO.
