Sports Under Burress! 5 Athletes Who Should Be Doing More Time Than Plaxico

Nobody’s ever accused football players of being the sharpest cheeses in the larder, but we’re thinking Plaxico Burress may be the dumbest yet. You’ll recall that last fall, Plax shot himself in the leg at a New York nightclub; now Manhattan DA Robert Morgenthau is saying that Burress can expect at least two years in prison for the mishap. Stupid Plax! He could’ve killed somebody and done half the time!

We don’t want to trivialize unregistered gun usage, but plenty of athletes have done far worse and done far less time than Burress. And we definitely aren’t in favor of locking more people up, but if the former Giants receiver is getting two years, we’ve got 5 Athletes Who Should Be Doing More Time Than Plaxico…

If you had this pocket knife gun combination, you’d be ready for anything. Details are scarce, but from the looks of it, if you feel like a blade just won’t save your ass, you load low-caliber bullets into the handle of the knife, close it shut and let off. We doubt it’s legal, but this is a pretty sick hybrid weapon. Watch a video of it in action below.

Music The Game Free After 8 Days In Jail

Jayceon Taylor, a.k.a The Game was released today after serving 8 of his 60 days in jail. Paris Hilton, who served 23 on a 45-day sentence was unavailable for comment on her booming street cred.

UPDATE: Seems as though Jayceon is still behind bars, and was only moved to another housing facility causing the confusion, and rumor that he was released. We’ll continue to keep a close eye on the Paris/Game race for street-cred.
