It was a formality, but today former New York Giants Wide Receiver Plaxico Burress was sent off to serve his prison sentence. The judge in his case sentenced him to what we all were told he would, 2 years, with a possibility of parole after 20 months.
The New York Times has a nice summary of what was said and done HERE .
The New York Daily News follows Plax and asks if he is working on a reality show HERE .
We'd be remiss if we didn't offer the New York Post's story HERE .
It's a pretty long fall from grace for Burress who, 2 years ago was the toast of the Football world, helping his Giants win the Super Bowl. The original incident, where he ended up shooting himself in the leg happened almost a year ago. Burress who is currently 32 years old hopes he'll get an opportunity to return to the NFL after he has done his time. He probably will, but his best years may already be behind him.
We give you a "Sort of" video version of the story courtesy of the New York Post...(at least someone voiced over a large group of photos anyway):
