Plaxico Burress was sentenced today to two years in prison. I get the fact that he broke the law by carrying an unlicensed weapon in NY, but he wasn’t going to hurt anyone. The gun was for protection, he only shot himself. Conversely, Donte Stallworth KILLED a guy while operating a car under the influence of alcohol. Donte only served 24 days of a 30-day sentence. Think about it: shoot yourself in the leg and you go to jail for two years; kill a 59-year-old guy at 7 am after a night of boozing and you get a little over three weeks. Sounds fair.
Keep your head up Plax, you still have a lot of fans on the outside. I’ll never forget you hauling in that game-winning TD on February 3, 2008.
