Free Plaxico!
Call me crazy, but I feel bad for Plaxico Burress. He didn’t hurt anyone, besides himself, and he got a raw deal. There are so many worse things he could have done: killed someone (see: Ray Lewis), raped a woman (see: Big Ben), taken a dump in his girlfriend’s hamper (see: Najeh Davenport), or some other awful act. Lest we forget, he didn’t paralyze a strip club worker (see: Pacman), he didn’t organize a dog-fighting ring (see: Vick), he just shot himself.
The old saying goes, ‘If you need a gun to go somewhere you probably shouldn’t be going there.’ Well a week before Plax shot himself teammate Steve Smith was reportedly robbed outside of his own home. Last week boxer Vernon Forrest was shot dead after being carjacked. If these athletes can’t go to their own home without protection, where can they go and feel safe? Plax was just trying to avoid getting robbed, if you ask me he’s a vigilante.

August 5th, 2009 at 9:12 pmI don’t buy it, any more than I buy multi-millionaire movie stars getting DUIs. All of this stems from dopes not being able to wrap their intellects around a relatively simple risk analysis. What do I want to do or feel the need to do, what are the possible outcomes, what are the probabilities each will occur, and what is the severity of the consequences for each if they do occur? People do it every day as second nature… some much, much better than others. Plax: “I need protection… options… bring a concealed gun, hire a professional body guard, hang with fellow NFL players, etc… gun outcome could be arrested, could be shoot myself, could be shoot somebody else… low probability on each but certainly possible… if it does occur, I could get suspended from the NFL, I could go to jail, etc. Body guard… let’s see… body guard could start trouble, could shoot someone, could shoot me, etc… probability low… severity of outcome… low on me unless the professional shoots me or my teammates. Ok… I’ll go with the body guard… no… wait… the gun! Your choice Plax… this is a free country… you’re free to make your own choices, and you’re free to experience the consequences of those choices… good or bad. You’re a moron… an incredibly gifted athlete moron. Life’s tough on morons.
