Wow. Didn't he initially turn down plea agreements offering much less time than this? His career is officially over. He'll be pushing 34 when he gets out.

Bye bye Plax. Your arrogance ended your career. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot...er, leg.

I just heard that his wife is pregnant. Pretty awful that their child won't have a father for the first year+ of his/her life.

I don't think the prosecuter had offered any plea and vowed to hit Plx with the max he could get. Two years for shooting yourself is a long time. Plaxico Burress Indicted -- Daily Intel -- New York News Blog -- New York Magazine

hey Guys and after reading all the post's in this thread ....you are all right!

I heard the samething but have no proof,the law in NY says 3and a half but that can be in anyway...I was under the impression that the offer was 6 months and then halfway house and then house arrest but he kept turning them down and each time the offer went up till the DA just got pissed and say we will take our chances.
I have no sypathy for this guy ...the Giants bent over backwards and he just couldn't get it,yup he has talent but when do you say enough?

Re: Plaxico Agrees To Two Year Jail Term

anybody know if this is one of those Paris Hilton jail sentences, where he gets 2 yrs, but serves only 6 months or so due to overcrowding, good behavior, whatever...?

The link on ESPN says he can reduce the sentence to 20 months with good behavior.

Re: Plaxico Agrees To Two Year Jail Term

I don't feel sorry for him and he has no one to blame but himself....carrying a gun in a nightclub. WTF was he thinking?? His whole career all he's done is be a pain in the ass. Can't show up to work on time, can't come to practice. I mean just think how much Pittsburgh thought of him to just let him walk and get nothing in return.
