As soon as I heard the news of Plaxico shooting himself in the leg, I immediately had visions of Eminem’s movie “8 Mile”, where Cheddar Bob shoots himself in the nuts during an altercation.

I’ve been known to side with players when they screw up (T.O., Ocho, Michael Vick) because everyone makes mistakes and deserve second chances. But Plaxico is a certified idiot, this guy is playing for the best team in the league and he’s all but guaranteed that they’re going to trade or release him in the offseason.
