Inactives

November

Today’s inactives at a very rainy Meadowlands.

For the Jets: K Mike Nugent, QB Brett Ratliff (3rd), WR David Clowney, RB Marcus Mason, CB Drew Coleman, S Eric Smith, LB David Harris, TE Bubba Franks.

For the Broncos: S Marlon McCree, CB Champ Bailey, RB Selvin Young, FB Andrew Pinnock, LB DJ Williams, LB Nate Webster, DT Nic Clemons, DE Tim Crowder.

A lot of people over here are talking about Plaxico Burress. So he doesn’t wear green and white, he does play in this stadium. If the story as has been reported is true, hard to think of many things that would be more unfortunate/idiotic than accidentally shooting oneself in the leg in the middle of the NFL season. Going to a nightclub with a hamstring injury and a gun in your pants. That defies reason.

Have to say that the Giants have been handling this well. The team released a statement about the shooting on Saturday, and made the GM and team owner available to the media today. This isn’t the kind of story that will go away with silence, especially if the gun was unregistered and Burress falls under the NYC mandatory minimum for carrying a firearm like that.

I can only imagine the scrum around Antonio Pierce after the game.

So Jets watchers, who is the Jet most likely to make me call a police information officer? Or is this team’s character a little different.

This is from the NFL Network’s NFL Gameday Morning.

“If Drew (Rosenhaus) doesn’t want to touch it, you know something’s wrong.” – Marshall Faulk on Burress’ agent Drew Rosenhaus issuing a ‘no comment’ on legal ramifications concerning incident.

“All of a sudden you become Jesse James? This isn’t the wild, wild west…Ask NFL security for help and they will protect you.” – Warren Sapp on players protecting themselves when they go out.

Ridiculous. Semiliterate, egomaniacal thugs hanging out in clubs with loaded guns in their pants.

We need to hear more about the gun. Is it the latest Glock, all blinged out with diamonds? Of course, he HAS to carry a gun. People are out to get him. That’s why he’s in a club at 2 a.m. or whatever.

The NFL needs to step up. The Giants need to step up.
