Plaxico an ‘Example?’ Let’s Hope So

“They’re trying to make an example out of him,” several NFL players have said today, about Plaxico Burress. And while that smacks of trite hogwash — unthinking solidarity for solidarity’s sake — all I can think is that if “they” really are trying to make an example of Burress, let’s hope they succeed.
Let’s hope that every one of these NFL stupidity/thuggery cases works as an example. Let’s hope that the next time one of these jokers decides to put a gun in his pocket for a night out at the club that the image of Burress in a prison cell flashes through his mind, and that he puts the damn thing back in the drawer. Let’s hope that the next time one of these self-styled superheroes decides he doesn’t need to call a cab when he’s drunk, he thinks about Donte’ Stallworth sitting out this whole season, and he gives somebody else his keys. Let’s hope anybody who’s into anything as stupid and pointless and disgusting as dogfighting remembers the past two years of Michael Vick’s life, and not the past two weeks.
