Plaxico Shoots Himself Tom Coughlan Vows To Eat His Liver
From spiking a live ball, to Super Bowl star, to shooting himself in the leg.
From the AP:
Super Bowl hero Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the right thigh and spent the night in the hospital, another dramatic turn in a tumultuous season in which the star New York Giants receiver has been fined and suspended.
The Giants said the shooting happened Friday night and he was released from the hospital early Saturday. The team did not say which hospital Burress went to or how badly he was injured.
However, a team official told The Associated Press that Burress shot himself in a nightclub. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the team was still trying to sort out all the facts.
“Our primary concern is for Plaxico’s health and well-being, and given the circumstances, we are relieved to say he was released from a New York City hospital,” the Giants said in a statement.
New York City police said they were investigating whether the incident took place at Latin Quarter, a sprawling 15,000-square-foot, two-story restaurant and club located in the Radisson Lexington Hotel in midtown Manhattan.
Phone messages and an e-mail left at the nightclub were not immediately returned.
Police added that they have not spoken to Burress or recovered the gun used in the shooting.
Newsday reported Burress has a concealed weapon permit from the state of Florida that expired in May 2008. It is unclear if the permit was renewed; such a license can be renewed up to six months beyond the expiration date in accordance with section 790.06(11)(a) of Florida Statutes.
However, the states of New York and New Jersey do not recognize permits from Florida, so Burress could be charged in the incident.
The NFL also is likely to investigate whether Burress violated its Personal Conduct Policy, which might lead to a suspension.
The Giants, who are 10-1 heading into Sunday’s game at Washington, said they have been in contact with the 31-year-old receiver since the shooting and have discussed the matter with NFL security.
“This incident could become a matter for law enforcement officials, and because of that we have no comment on any of the details,” the team said.
Repeated phones calls to Burress’ home and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, were not immediately returned.
Added NFL spokesman Joe Browne: “We are gathering information, just like everyone else.”
Joe I have all the information right here. Plaxico is a fuck up. Any other questions?
Tom Coughlan was last seen walking out of a New Jersey area Piggly Wiggly carrying a nice Chianti and a two cans of fava beans.

I love the part that says phone calls to Drew Rosenhaus weren’t immediately returned. That fucker sleeps, eats, and shits with a bluetooth in his ear. The least he could do is have a Next Question press conference in Plaxico’s driveway.
When I saw the headline “NFL player’s gun goes off in a night club”, I just assumed Pacman creamed his jeans at the Titty Twister.

More than likely Plexidrop called Drew on his way to the hospital.
“Drew, Drew, come on man I know you’re there pick up”
Rosenhaus lying in bed with 6 high priced strippers. Screams at the answering machine.
“Fuck you I’m a little busy” Just as stripper #3 is shaving client #10’s nut sack.

When I first saw the headline, Giants Burress Shot, the first thing that entered my mind was “Hmmm, I was wondering what Rae Curruth was doing.”
What a dumbass. And the kicker is that he didn’t have a concealed gun license for the weapon in question. Yeah, NYPD is going to be REAL Happy about that…

Do you think Plax misses having Mike Vick and PacMan around?

Moris I think one report said he had an expired conceal/cary/shoot yourself permit from Florida.
NY doesn’t recognize any other states permits.
Ray is still trying to hide in trunks, but these days it’s to escape “The Sisters”
“It was the longest night of his life”
No he doesn’t miss them, Plux loves to see his name in the paper…..scratch that. He loves for someone else to tell him that his name is in the paper, plux lacks the ability to read or write his own name.
And if wonder dog or Adam are in the news, that means pluxolicious isn’t getting any “me” time with the media.
