I’m going to go against my normal trend here and stick up for a spoiled athlete. I think the felony charge against Plaxico is overkill. The DA coming out and saying he absolutely wants jail time for him is grandstanding and says, Hey look at me, I’m prosecuting a high profile case. Look, was the guy stupid? Yea he was, but there really was no ill intent and although I don’t understand this whole thing, a lot of pro athletes feel they have to protect themselves. I guess I get that they are a target but I sort of feel that goes with the territory and you shouldn’t put yourself in those situations but at that age I did really dumb stuff too and wouldn’t have done what someone told me. Give the guy his fine, put him on probation and go about your way.
