Pierce

So... how do you go from hosting a free football camp for local kids and raising money for scholarships to being caught up in some gunshot scandal? Bad PR person I suppose? Or maybe a good PR person? So good that you don't know how to make good decisions in your personal life? Will the Sports Minister drop his "hero" status?
I am just pissed. As you all may know I just love the Giants. And last year when they gave their all at that season finale game against the Pats... I was stoked. And then to go on and win the SuperBowl against the Pats. I was sky high. Nothing better than sitting back and watching a good football game.
So on Sunday when I was all bundled on the couch sitting back watching the Panthers I thought I was hearing things - like the use of a bad cliche - when they said Plaxico Burress had shot himself in the leg. First of the cliche is to shoot yourself in the foot is it not...? I had to text a friend to confirm what I heard to be true. And I was still in shock yesterday when I started reading the stories about it.
So here's my thought - personally I am in a quantry - I mean I am all about the whole Michael Vick dog fight charges - that's a pretty long drawn out hobby going on there. But carrying a conceiled firearm that is against the law as well. But I would like to think that maybe the Giants can do something positive with this... Ahhh - I am thinking some PSAs should be in order. Iwas lucky. Guns kill. That type of stuff. Sure the suspension is needed but in your down time what are you going to do about it...
It will be interesting to see how it all pans out.
I could rant some more but I think I will leave it at that for now.
