    New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress suffered an accidental gunshot wound Friday night in a club, according to multiple sources.


    Burress

    Details of the incident weren't immediately available, but according to a source the wound was not considered life-threatening.

    Fox Sports.com reported that Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg and spent the night in the hospital.

    Burress, who was not expected to play against the Washington Redskins on Sunday with a hamstring injury, was not at team meetings and did not attend the team's Saturday walkthrough.

    The Giants organization was not commenting on the story.

    In September, Burress was suspended for a game and fined for a violation of team rules, reportedly failing to appear at a team meeting and being unavailable by phone. At the time, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said that Burress was tending to urgent family matters.

    Burress signed a five-year, $35 million contract this fall after helping the Giants to a Super Bowl championship last season.

    If you dont know how to operate a firearm, you shouldn't be handling it. I think he has enough money to hire a real thug to protect him.

    Perfect example of a guy that's an incredibly rich and gifted athlete, and yet such a fucking life failure on so many basic levels.

    burress is just a really really strange dude. they don't beat the packers without him, then he battles through injuries and scores the winning touchdown in the superbowl. he can be loved for life in new york if he just doesn't screw up.

    he's not really an idiot (there was a story in a book on the giants about how his playbook had ridiculously detailed notes in it when everyone always thought he wasn't paying attention). something is a little off with him for sure.

    god i hate plax right now. Season is going so well and he just continues to try to sabotage it. Says a lot about his ego, he's supposadely INJURED, and at the club, and thinks he's so big time he needs to carry a gun. LOL plax. Plz cut this guy we can still win it all with Hixon and Toomer and Steve Smith at the wideouts

    This guy's a head case, well just one of many in the NFL. He's a hell of a receiver when his head's screwed on straight. It's stuff like this though that makes me glad the Steelers kept Hines Ward instead of him.

    just remember the giants don't win in green bay last year without him. i know things look good right now but there's going to be a close game in january. he's going to help. let's hope he's alive, injury-free and motivated.
