BURRESS TO BE CHARGED FOR GUN FIASCO

Well. Plaxico Burress can begin kissing good-bye to that lucrative contract he signed at the beginning of September. His career and life are taking a turn for the worse

The star receiver, who made news on Saturday morning for shooting himself in the leg, is expected to face charges for carrying a unlicensed weapon, which is a felony offense. According to a report from Yahoo Sports, Burress is expected to turn himself in and plead not guilty to the "criminal possession of a weapon" (read more).

In an interesting twist on this story, linebacker Antonio Pierce was live and in person for Burress's latest fiasco, but he would not comment on the matter to the mainstream media.

The NFL will be looking into this situation as well. It is not clear what kind of fines, suspensions, or even possible sentencing awaits Burress in the coming weeks, but none of it should be any good for him. Burress has blown it. He had it all. He caught the game winning touchdown in last year's Super Bowl, got a great contract and now, almost a year later, he could be serving time for being ... an idiot.
