Sports: Possibly headed to jail for shooting himself in the leg: Plaxico Burress

  • Plaxico Burress, the New York Giants’ star wide receiver, shoots himself in the leg at a NYC nightclub. Everyone laughs at him. source
  • The police checks back on his record and realizes – *light bulb* – his concealed weapon permit was out-of-state and expired. source
  • Prosectors want to send Burress to jail for all this. Isn’t the idiocy of a self-inflicted gunshot wound punishment enough? source

Sports: New York Giants: Yeah, Plaxico probably isn’t coming back

  • We’ll prepare as if he’s not going to be here, and if he is, it’s a bonus.
  • Jerry Reese • New York Giants general manager, on Plaxico Burress’ status. The Super-Bowl-winning wide receiver has been a giant question mark since he shot himself in the leg at a New York nightclub, then got charged with a felony for the (admittedly pretty stupid) deed. • source

Offbeat: How to get rich: Get drunk, fall in the subway, lose your leg

  • Dude got a $2.3 million settlement. Brooklynite Dustin Dibble, 25, doesn’t even remember his apparently epic bender, but he has a pretty obvious souvenir from it in the form of a missing leg after a train hit him. His lawyers are pretty good, apparently: He won a lawsuit after they claimed the train had time to stop. There are worse ways to make your life savings. source
