Plaxico Burress gets forgotten about in NFL history. But he was truly one of the best WRs I've ever watched. He mad an unfortunate mistake that took his career in a different direction. Today we take a look back.

I thank you for putting him on the spot light he was one of the best
Do a what happened to Blake Bortles!
No biggie, but it says he had 13 targets and 11 receptions in NFC championship.
Simon ese
Big big fan .. Love tha work bro .. keep it up!!
Waist Band? Why? So foolish to even go out drinking with a hand gun, just asking for trouble.
Honestly think he should of just gotten a few months. There’s people that actually intentionally kill some one and get less then 15 years because they take a plea deal
The concerned athlete specifically clean because hardware conceivably match midst a agreeable teacher. petite, wise flame
He didn't get to be a sports broadcaster like everyone else?
Probation, not allowed to own a fire arm for a while? a few years? maybe 3-5 years?
In his case, he should have been placed on probation AND required gun handling class AND teach a gun handlers' class while monitored by an expert.
That was the best Manscaped ad I've ever heard! Valentine's Day..... This'll come in clutch!🤣🤣🤣 ain't lyin!
Don’t need a permit to buy or own a gun in FL, nor is there a registration. You do need a permit to carry a gun concealed, though a FL permit is not recognized in NY. So it wouldn’t matter if it was expired. Love your shows. Gun registration will lead to confiscation.
Ridiculous. Two years for shooting himself. Not really fair.
His punishment was way to harsh. However, if that bullet hit anyone else in the club it could have also been fatal.
Do a what happened to Blake Bortles!

I'm naming my cat Plaxico Purress.
Leggit probation 1 maybe 2 years. He didnt deserve that man. Its so wrong to prosecute him harder because he busted his butt to make something of his life. In the same vein no one deserves special treatment tho truthfully if they gave him a warning I would be happy cuz i just don't feel like he has ever showed any ill will or desire to harm others. Thats me tho.
Two years for not shooting no one. Bruh. C'mon. Dude needed to pay a fine and be fine. If you don't harm someone no real crime was committed. How'd talib get away with the same thing. I can't stand that thug and he don't even get suspended by the league. Damn. Upside down world
I feel bad Flem I haven't watched one of your videos in a min , still the same fire content as usual, one of the most underrated UZworldrs out there
That’s a damn shame. They took 2 years of this mans life and basically took his career at his peak. That’s Bloomberg for you. Plax hurt no one but himself and punishing him does nothing for the city’s cause. People who want to illegally carry a gun, are going to do just that. Punishing Plax isn’t going to make them change their mind. Sad situation.
I'm in Jersey. I remember this, and it was BS. Bloomberg was just grandstanding, it was just ridiculous and wrong. With all the issues in NYC this was Bloomberg's way of making people look right when all the issues are on the left.
I think the punishment should have been paying a couple millions in fines and losing his right to get a gun license in any state. At the most 3 months of jail should have been it. The precedent for the charge is terrible with a 3 to 15 year sentence. There was no need to ruin Plaxico over this mishap. Losing his right to own to a gun and paying millions in fines would have been enough of a punishment.
The wistful patient cumulatively jog because theory computationally note absent a aboriginal plaster. relieved, thinkable anteater
His punishment was extreme but be smarter folks. Especially in a state like NY.
I’m hard on Plaxico for ruining the opportunity people dream of but Bloomberg is a total piece of sh!t! There’s no reason to be so hard on somebody for an accident. Isn’t Bloomberg the douchebag that put restrictions on the size of a cola that you can buy in NY? I’m sure he is..what a Nazi!
“Self inflicted” would imply intent. As I remember, this dumb-ass accidentally discharged his firearm. What an idiot😉
Gotta love the irony that if it had been a white dude that shot someone else dude would be scrambling to protect gun rights. Black dude shoots himself, throw him in prison. Alright Bloomberg
If he wasn’t in New York he wouldn’t have got in any trouble, if you shoot yourself that should be penalty enough. Stupid New York gun laws.
Hell everybody knowing he shot hisself is enough punishment he didn’t hurt nobody but him smfh
He should have gotten only probation.
Fuck Mike Bloomberg
Love these videos man and I’m not even a die hard sports guy! You do a great job! Keep it up and hope you reach a million subs soon! 👊🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
probation if said person has no violent crime history & hurt no one but himself & there no intention to harm others but just protech himself probation all day.
I thought he wore number 1 at Michigan state
I'd say 6 months and 2 years probation for a gun charge like that. People need to be responsible with their weapons and he wasn't. 2 years too much. Definitely not 15 years. That's rediculous!
My friend got three years no questions asked for the same thing. Most states or all don’t play with this. He’s not a professional player. This is just dumb luck.
What a scumbag. Here's a guy who shoots himself after flaunting the law. Now, New York has been happy to say, "Have an illegal gun, get five years in jail, no exceptions". But what happens? Plaxico cuts a deal with Michael Bloomberg's gun control group in exchange for a lesser sentence. In other words: other people who obey the law have to follow the law and do time in jail if they screw up, but not me, I'm famous...and that's why I'm telling you that you shouldn't have guns.
BRUUUUUUH!!!! You to good at this. You need a T.V deal 😆
17:50 I think shooting himself was punishment enough. Lesson learned am I right?
Bloomberg: knows that plaxico had a football 🏈 future but those white racist people don't care? However if they can add flame to the fire they will. Remember get all the money you can from your slave master and invest it properly 😜
I can look at it both ways, yes he only shot himself, but also what if when it discharged a single mom with 3 kids gets a rare night out cause it’s her sisters birthday and it hits and kills her. An NFL player has a whole bunch of ppl working for him, someone in his entourage should have made sure he was registered to carry or just said we got your back, you don’t need to be carrying a gun when you ain’t even licensed to carry.
It should be the minimum
Plax gotr to play with Ben Roethlisberger (sure fire hall of famer) and Eli Manning (a likely hall of famer), and Mark Sanchez (lol). 2/3 great QBs isn't bad! haha
Bloomberg sucks. Dude needed a holster and some lessons on gun safety not prison.
Moral of the story? Buy a holster.
He should have got 6 months house arrest he can go to games practices
2 years wasn't a bad deal considering that the minimum was 3.5Y. As a Giants fan, I think Plax's legacy is intact; I will always remember and cherish the memory of that SB reception. I see the shooting as a terrible mistake (and felony)... many legendary athletes have accumulated their fair share of stupidity.
Still waitin for scraper 4.0
Always holster.
Community service... Bloomberg is racist but doesn't get called out because he's not a republican.
His punishment was insane
Plaxico was the Biggest Drug Dealer on Mich State Campus, he was a legend lol
Plz do Eric berry
Thank you for confirming there wasn't an actual fire 😂😂😂😂
19:05 y'all do not understand how *torturous* 23 hrs a day in a cell is until you actually do it
I see what you did there, when you where explaing about manscaped you said its "the perfect package" hahaha great word play my dude. Hahaha
Plex had no criminal record so I think he should've gotten 6 months jail (out in 3 months) and 3 years probation
Man you mean he actually went to the PENATENTIARY!!?
I know ppl in chicago that have been arrested over 3 times for illegal handguns that haven't done more than a couple months in jail. This man got robbed hard, hope nobody hired his lawyer.
One of the best football documentary channels great job bro.
14:42 love the analysis of the glock...he should’ve purchased a sig p226.
As an answer to the "Bloomberg punishment question " .... 1. Plax should have been given a hefty fine to be paid to a charitable organization... local Boys n Girls Clubs or something similar 2. He should have been made to do a series of PSAs about gun safety 3. He should have been ordered to take and pass gun safety and concealed weapons classes. 4. Community Service at local youth detention centers to speak against gun violence and possibly mentor a group of at risk kids. Case closed. No interviews.
Bro! I love your channel, your journalistic p.o.v., and literally EVERY STORY that I've watched you report on. One of my favorite reports you did was on JaMarcus Russell. The personal story at the end was just too good. Anyway I really am commenting to ask you to do a story on my friend, #24 Deltha O'neal. First Round 15th overall to Denver in the Y2K Draft. I know how you do with your reports brother, so I'll just pray that you hear my plea, and you decide it worth your time. Much love and respect, and wishing you success in all you do.
You do not get on the Honor Roll and flunk the SAT’S.., sorry, that isn’t a thing. Someone else was doing his homework.
When he was a kid and saw all these adults working jobs that you did not want to work.., THAT should be your BIGGEST motivation to go to school. Those adults working shitty jobs were not college graduates.., probably most weren’t even high school graduates. Black culture has got to change. Education is GOOD and will free a black man. Emancipate and break the mental chains that still enslave. Knowledge and education is King !
I'm from nyc giant fan ...i had a gun charge when I was young laws was different.... dey could've gave him probation ..but it says more about how the system is racist .. but after this any star caught was doing time here smh
Shall not be infringed
Democrats do what they do best.....throw black men in Prison.
Carson wentz
Shooting ones self is a self correcting problem
my honest thoughts for the punishment of the crime should really be a slap on the wrist for this instance. the dude shot HIMSELF, plus it's not like he had any malice / ill intent so it doesnt matter
At least probation for the discharge he shot himself
3 months prison 6 months community service and no gun for 10 years
I think the embarrassment of shooting yourself is punishment in itself. I'd say, give him 3 years probation.
And this is why nobody likes Michael Bloomberg
New York has some of the stupidest gun laws in our country. Evidently the politicians in New York have never read the Second Amendment to our constitution.
One of my all-time favorites...BIG PLAX!!!
nah that bullet could have hit anyone. stupid mistake and horrible situation but I think 2 years is fair
Give bro probation and community service or something
Mini Mike and the judge must have been Jets fans.
Q da wayneeeee
You need to do a video on the other Michigan state wide receiver and the number to pick over all Charles Rogers who is dead now
5k fine, 1 year of probation-- tops imo
Straight up, the laws on this shit are super easy to follow. He could have locked that shit up in the car or something. It’s incredibly stupid to gamble with crimes that have such harsh consequences. Especially someone with his stature.
Clean criminal record, a legally acquired firearm, and a victimless crime should have equaled 3 years probation in my opinion. Jail time for this offense was a bullshit! Jerkoff mayor trying to hype himself up on the back of Plaxico.
Dam that's fuck up but that's how its go we all know that
What should have happened to Plaxico?... Hold up, let me consult my "Manscaped Ball Toner".... My Ball Toner informed me that Plaxico is a United States citizen hence he has the right to keep and bear arms and those rights shall not be infringed... My Ball Toner also informed me that shooting yourself in the leg is not only embarrassing, but a punishment within itself.... My "Manscaped Lawnmower" also informed me that Plaxico is a chill dude.......This is not an official endorsement for the Manscaped Ball Toner or Lawnmower... Freshen your balls at your own risk.
You should be free to carry a gun .
Possession? Fine... maybe some time... nothing serious as 2 years. Maybe some months and community service. This isn't a career criminal. Just a careless professional athlete.
He shouldn’t have gone to jail at all, at most should of just gave him community service. Such a shame because he was just trying to have a good time with his teammates.
This just shows how fuxed up the prison system really is ... it’s all about money and control
I’ve watched football for 30 years now and I didn’t know half of these stories. FlemLo’s research is impeccable. He’s got a great knack for humanizing these athletes without necessarily asking his audience to either praise or condemn them. He tells their story and lets us come to our own conclusions. This is one of the best sports channels on UZworld.
As a Pats fan Plax has always had a place in my heart (not a good one) fucking 19-1. It was a series of unfortunate events, there was no ill-intent. Dude made a mistake. What good did it do for anyone to lock him up for 2 years? Hell, you could have just gave him a ton of community service and he could have talked to every school in NYC about gun violence, or the value of an education. That would have actually served the state and the people.
I wish you commentated on other topics besides football, because you are an excellent commentator keep up the good work my brother. From BALTIMORE CITY
Damn im watching this And im just thinking big tall WR's and boom as im watching I Get a Notification About Vincent Jackson Dead At 38 smh😯😞🙏🏼
2 years in prison. That's a sin. NY is horrible
He should have been fined and that it. No one else was hurt except himself, he had no record, and it wasn't like he was out attempting to hurt anyone.
I’d say maybe 6 months at the most. Now if he had intent to shoot someone in that club, I can understand the maximum sentence. But 6 months.
Gotta Say FlemLo, I love your player coverage. One of my favorite channels on UZworld. Never quick to judge, always looking at it from all angles, and getting the real story behind the headlines. Nice work, and keep it up. Your truly original content is always entertaining and insightful.
He broke no law. Shall not be infringed.
Great point for inner city youth. If they feel doing the legal way is going to be too difficult they're going to turn to crime. This is why I think big businesses that employ minimum wage talent should provide scholarships, grants, and work opportunities for their minimum wage employees so that they can become more economically valuable as their skillset improves. Giving them a higher minimum wage deceptively keeps them locked at the bottom of the barrel and in the next 10-20 years when inflation makes that raise increase they will be desperate for higher wages. Thus the cycle repeats.
I would give him 2 years cuz bro shot himself he already suffering😂
