Plaxico Burress ACCIDENTLY shoots himself in the leg

This dude is out of control....Seriously... New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress' drama filled season may slowly be coming to an end. The New York Giants wide receiver accidentally shot himself in the right thigh Friday night, not long after being ruled out of Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins with a hamstring injury in the same leg.
Here is how the story is being reported....

Burress, 31, was allegedly trying to enter Manhattan night club "LQ" with teammate Antonio Pierce when they were stopped by security guards. Burress then admitted to the guards that he was carrying a gun. He then allegedly went over to a secluded area with a guard and took the gun out. Burress apparently started trying to unload the gun and bobbled it. An accidental shot went off and went through his leg. Security then tried to call an ambulance, but Burres said told them not to. He took himself to Cornell Medical Center, where he spent the night and was released at 2 p.m. Saturday after being treated. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. Now, there are numerous reports that Burress has a concealed-weapon permit from the state of Florida that expired in May 2008. However, the states of New York and New Jersey do not recognize permits from Florida, so Burress could indeed be charged in the incident. Since the incident, Burress has retained a New York defense attorney to represent him.

One thing that just isn't sticking well with me is that I find it hard to believe that the entire Giants organization is clueless as to what has happened. Giants general manager Jerry Reese said Sunday that he had yet to speak to Burress. He states, and I quote, "I reached out to him I did not get a return phone call."
So far this has been a troubled year for Burress who signed a five-year, $35 million contract hours before the season opened in September. The signing came after an unsettling off-season which Burress was fined $25,000 for refusing to practice during a mandatory mini-camp in June. In addition he also missed most of training camp with a sprained ankle. The 31-year-old was also suspended for a game and fined $117,500 for missing a team meeting due to what he called a "family emergency"(taking his daughter to school) and failing to notify the team of his absence. He also was fined $45,000 by the NFL in October after a game against the 49ers, when he abused an official and tossed a ball into the stands.

What is the future for Burress in New York? It seems that the Giants organization would be taking a major chance on keeping the star receiver next season, although he is a great player, one lingering question will be can he be depended on as a player.
From off season to the current season, so far Burresss acts as if he is living in a world of his own. Why is it that athletes feel the need to carry guns? Unfortunately with all of the compiled drama from Burress, this incident will now lead to an investigation from the NFL on whether Burress violated its Personal Conduct Policy, which could then lead to a suspension. With this recent incident just piling upon the previous ones, its true yet sad to say that Plaxico Burress' controversial year has just taken a turn for the worse.

McNabb OUT!!!!!

Wow what an embarrassing moment!!! Starting quarterback Donovan McNabb of the Philadelphia Eagles gets benched during the game and back-up quarterback Kevin Kolb took over for the team. Both performances were very similar; McNabb's record from the game consisted of 8 completed passes, 18 attempted passes, and 2 interceptions,and a total of 59 yards; while Kolb's record from the game was 10 completed passes, 23 attempted passes, and 2 interceptions, with a total of 73yds. After the 36-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Eagles Coach Any Reid stated, "That he was going to have a long talk with McNabb," but would not elaborate on any further details if Donovan would still be the starting quarterback of the Eagles when they take on the Arizona Cardinals Thanksgiving night.

I wanna know your thoughts...Should McNabb be replaced, or should he be able to finish the remaining of the season?

Uh-ohhhh.....new info on "Pacman"

Sources now say that Adam "Pacman" Jones could finally be down to his "LAST" chance. Sources are saying that this time Pacman has to strictly adhere to the terms of his reinstatement, and get this if any, and I mean annyyyyy missteps may seem to come at any time. It would lead to a lifetime ban from the NFL.
Jones will return to Valley Ranch for practice tomorrow, and he will be eligible to play Dec. 7th when the Cowboys take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Pittsburgh.
So what happens now? Adam, must now continue going to an intensive rehab and counseling only as an outpatient basis. Another term of his reinstatement is that even if Jones happens to miss an appointment, it would also have an effect on the troubled corners career in the NFL. I guess that's what should be expected after all of the many chances he's been given.

GETCHA Popcorn Ready!!!!!

Congratulations are in order for Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens. After a long week of controversy over the anticipated airing of the "penthouse" interview that he did with former Cowboy cornerback Deion Sanders, the receiver has once again proved that age is just a number. While taking on the 3-7 San Fransisco 49ers, the wide-out put up record numbers that were the second most of his career. Behind only the 283 yards he had in the 2000 game in which he caught an NFL-record of 20 passes, back when he played for the 49ers, and the fifth-best in Cowboys history. Many may have watched the interview that aired today on the NFL Network, but for those who did not, during the interview with Sanders the frustrated receiver had this to say regarding his offensive coach, "The thing is, if Garrett is smart enough to know what has made me successful all my years, he'll go back to the offense and the type of formations and things that I did that were successful in San Francisco."
Did Garrett go back to the type of offensive plays that Owens is used to? Wellll... during the post game interviews both Owner Jerry Jones,and Offensive coach Jason Garrett stated that the game plan had not been changed.
After all of the complaining and criticisms of the Cowboys offense this week, T.O. finished today's game with a total of seven catches for 213 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown, in the Cowboys' 35-22 victory over the 49ers. Within the last couple of weeks, players seem to be clicking and playing to the statue of those million dollar contracts that they are under.
One thing that remains un-predictable is the fact that no one knows how long this team will continue to play with the amount of explosiveness that's been shown. On the other hand one main thing that has become evident is that since the return of quarterback Tony Romo this team has not only their swagger back, but they have also played with confidence, and much more heart.
The 'Boys take on the 2-8 Seattle Seahawks on Thanksgiving day. After today's performance T.O. said "they unleashed him"...and too add on to that let me be the first to say that you might want to not only get the turkey ready, but to also "GETCHA" popcorn ready!!!!!

Oklahoma vs Tech..nical Difficulties

OMG!!!!!!!!!
What tha heck is wrong with Texas Tech??? Current score is 28-0...Oklahoma Sooners are up. This is bananas, this sure isnt the same team that has been playing consistently the last couple of weeks. You cant blame the weather because its just as cold even colder at times in the "LBK" Lubbock. Oh yea and let me remind you that it is only the first half and this Oklahoma defense is shutting Tech down. I wonder if Tech would be able to make a comeback like they did against the Texas Longhorns.....
UPDATE...The final score was 65-21 Oklahoma

Could Edgerrin James become a Cowboy??

With Felix Jones being placed on IR the Cowboys are somewhat in the market for another running back to help out Barber with carries. It's funny that this may come as a surprise, but Arizona Cardinals running back Edgerrin James is wanting out of the ARI. Current reports have been confirmed by the backs agent Drew Rosenhaus.

Rosenhaus said the request to be released was made last week and that he will continue to speak with Cardinals management. For those that may not know, James lost his starting job to rookie Tim Hightower, and over the last three games, James has had only 3 carries for 5 yards.

With it being apparent that the running back wants out of the Cardinals organization would he be a good fit for the 'Boys? Maybe so due to his status of being a 1000-yard back, and being healthy. But then again with James complaining about being a back-up running back, I don't think there's any chance that James has a chance in taking "The Barbarian's" spot as the starting running back.

In addition to an initial signing bonus of $7 million, James currently has a 4-year contract that is worth $30 million. The base salaries in the contract were $3.25 million (for 2006), $5.25 million (2007), $5 million (2008) and $5 million (2009).
Arizona is hoping to clinch their first NFC West title with a win Sunday vs. Giants and a 49ers loss vs. Cowboys.

Felix Jones out...and ??? In

Can somebody please explain to me why the Cowboys are constantly wishy-washy when it comes to fourth-rounder Tashard Choice? I mean give the kid a chance, last week against the Redskins the he had ONE freakin carry, Choice has 72 yards on 13 carries. We all know that Marion "The Barbarian" Barber is a killer when it comes to the running back position, but the one thing that I would hate to see is Marion going down to an injury. I'm sure it would be the whole quarterback scenario
re-winded all over again. So now with the season ending injury placing running back Felix Jones on injured reserve, the Cowboys are now considering bringing Alonzo Coleman off the practice squad or even signing some other back from elsewhere. Not literally but you know. Now once again "The Barbarian" will continue carrying the load.

What's up with Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson???

Breaking News....Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson will not play against the Pittsburgh Steelers tonight. According to ESPN the receiver has been deactivated for tonight's game. But for how long? Currently the Bengals are not elaborating on why Ocho Cinco was deactivated, and said that there will be no further comment until after the game. However there are reports that Ocho Cinco violated team rules that has some involvement of team meetings, including a verbal confrontation with a coach.
Well look at it this way at least this little Shenanigan will take some attention off of the whole Pacman scenario.
For all of those Bengal fans according to the infamous agent Drew Rosenhaus, he stated that this infraction was not major and he believes that the suspension will not go beyond one game.

Trust is a Must...Right??

For all of those interested fans out there Adam "Pacman" Jones has been reinstated into the NFL...per General Manager and owner Jerry Jones...It has not been officially confirmed via comissioner Roger Goodell but what the heck if Jerry says that he's back then its a wrap. Now lets put aside all of the past and recent drama that Pacman has been involved in and see how great of a player he is.

So is he a good player or not?? Personally I think that the Cowboys could use the troubled cornerback. Why? Although Terrance Newman had a heck of a game against the Redskins on Sunday, we have to remember that he is still coming off from a lengthy injury, not to mention that wide reciever Miles Austin is expected to be out for 2-4 weeks, in addition running back Felix Jones' is still being limited in practice due to his hamstring and toe injury. So who will be the Cowboys punt returner?? Many of you shout out the name of Patrick Crayton..true...Crayton is a good player...but be honest with yourself being a punt returner requires a little more speed than Crayton has to offer. Pacman hasn't showed us the complete "PacMan" side on the field yet...but maybe if he stays out of trouble this time he will.
Being that my reasoning for thinking that the Cowboys could use Jones right now has been stated, my next question to you is can he be trusted AGAIN??

We all know that the primary goal for this team right now is MAKING THE PLAYOFFS!!!. If this team wants to make the playoffs, no one can risk the possibility of going back and forth on the latest trouble that was caused by Pacman. Now when it comes to the team as a "whole" the presence of Pacman can become a major distraction. Pacman is not a bad person....he just makes dumb decisions.
So the question that is still up in the air is...Can Pacman be trusted again?? I've told you my thoughts, now tell me yours.

Here is some information that I thought may be interesting to some of you...

10/15/08: 4-game suspension by the league
6/2/08: Partially reinstated by the league.

•February 2007- Nightclub fracas: Jones took a plea deal to reduce felony charges to a gross misdemeanor in connection with his involvement in a nightclub disturbance. He got probation in return for his testimony about an ensuing triple shooting that left one man paralyzed.

•October 2008- Hotel scuffle: Jones was involved in an alcohol-related incident with a bodyguard assigned to him by the Jerry Jones, and hotel employees called police. No arrests were made, nor were there charges filed. But the NFL suspended Jones for at least four games because the incident was a violation of the league's personal conduct policy.
