A few thoughts on the upcoming Plax-Gate that's going to happen...
- How did this guy shoot himself? There's gotta be more to it than him mistakenly shooting himself in the leg (Cheddar Bob azz...). I have a theory.
- Why doesn't he have security that has the gun(s) rather than himself?
- Why does dude have an illegal gun when he can just register and buy a legal one? It's not like he doesn't have the money, right?
- Why did Antonio Pierce (allegedly) take the gun back with him to (presumably) his home in New Jersey?
- How much of the book do you think Commissioner Goodell is going to hit him with?
The only guys that shoot themselves by mistake are the ones that are scared and panic. I understand why some of these guys feel the need to own guns. But in the home is one thing and out with you to a Manhattan nightclub is another. Did he hear Diddy/Shyne was going to be there? I don't get it. Can't he afford to have security? So what if no rich athlete wants to admit that he could use some extra security. Let's be smarter fellas, seriously. Aside from owning an illegal gun à la TIPPORD, you take it to a club! Stupid. It's no dumb assumption to make that people are probably out to "get you" in some way, but there are more intelligent and legal ways to go about protecting yourself. A 31-year old man with millions of dollars, a wife (I think), and children should know better. I understand the pride involved and guys feeling like they can take care of themselves but even if you're going to carry things that way, you need to be smarter about maintaining your d@mn gangster.
