Former NY Giants Super Bowl hero Plaxico Burress recently sat down behind bars to talk about the unfortunate incident that cost him his NFL career and put him behind bars for two years.
Read some of the highlights and watch a video of Burress discussing his situation when you go inside…
Back in November '08, Plaxico Burress went to a Manhattan nightclub called the Latin Quarter with an unlicensed gun tucked inside sweatpants. Burress says he was carrying the gun for his own protection when suddenly the gun went off, and a bullet went into his thigh. The public outcry behind the event was nothing nice as NY state has some of the most stiff gun laws in the country. Burress plead guilty to a felony gun possession charge and was sentenced to two years in jail.
And he just did an interview with the the NY Daily News about life behind bars...and a possible comeback:
On his three-year-old son asking him why he doesn’t play football anymore –
"What do I tell him? How am I supposed to answer those questions? You can't go any lower than being here, other than being in the ground. It's about as tough as it gets, on a personal level. You learn a lot about yourself. You try to think about the bigger picture, about life outside these walls. You just try to find a way to get through."
On his incarceration costing him four years and a possible $27 million on his Giants contract -
"You can't change history, no matter what you try to do, I didn't do anything to anybody. I did it to myself. I committed a crime. I broke the law. That's why I'm here. I can't do anything about it, so you have to try to change your outlook, think about positive things. If I'm so intent on going back to that moment, then I'm not making any progress. I'm not moving forward."
On re-entering the NFL for the 2011 season –
"I'm not just going to come back and play. I'm going to come back and play at a high level, Nobody is going to be more dedicated than me to getting back to a championship. I feel like I let a lot of kids down (because of what happened). It's something I can't erase. All I can do is get back to the football field and play at a high level. That's the only way I can redeem myself, so to speak."
