I think it's time for someone to step up and save him from himself before we lose another NFL player.

Just curious whether a permit to carry a concealed weapon would make any difference here? Otherwise, yeah it would seem a suspension is in order. If the league does little or nothing it will look like there just picking on Pacman unfairly.

Happens to the best of us. Even though he's a Giant I hate to see Plax going down this road. He's a local product around here and the sky's the limit for someone with this much talent. I wish these guys would realize all that money will also get you the best pychological treatment money can buy. I would think the commish would have to step in on this one. Hopefully he won't continue to throw away the talent he's been blessed with.

I'll say I was curious to see what the Skins fans reaction was to this incident and I'm glad to see that in general, everyone is pretty respectful.

Seems like everyone agrees it is a good thing that it wasn't more serious and that he really needs to start taking his life/career more seriously.

I would hope not,some of us have a little more class than that.2 very different situations !

I don't thnk Plax has been involved in anything like this before as opposed to Pacman who has been arrested 6 times while in the NFL.Pax is stupid ....no argument he did'nt hurt anyone else but himself and his teamates.

I know you wouldn't joke about it, but you'd be surprised to hear some of things that Giants, Cowboys and Eagles fans have been said about Sean Taylor since his death.

Have you guys ever thought that maybe he brought the gun with him to club for protection? Since there are some people who are targeting NFL players and all other celebrities..

I'm not saying that he's not stupid to bring it or whatever, but everyone deserve some benefit of doubts..

they say bad things happen to bad people. why was he in the club, with a loaded weapon? probably explains the 50 or so times he was late for meetings. we all have our priorities....

That's why you hire a bodyguard. He's got enough money to afford 1 or 2.

You suspend a player for shooting himself? The only issue right now is if NY presses any charges againt him for breaking any laws that might apply. He is out of the hosptal and I heard his injury will not in danger career.

It reinforces everything we already knew about his lack of maturity. Just hours after he's ruled out for the game, he says F-it and goes out strapped to the club to party till all hours of the night. Now there's a man with class and work ethic.

I don't understand the need to be in clubs. Especially at his age. If he was 23 or 24 years old, maybe. But he's 31. I'm 30, and I haven't wanted to go to clubs for a while now. Everyone is different- I understand that - but we all know damn well if he wanted to party with girls, music, and booze, he has the kind of money and connections to make it happen AT HIS HOUSE.

MEMO TO PRO ATHLETES: when you go out to public places late at night with guns and alcohol, bad shit happens.

A friend who knows one of the Giant trainers said,he'll be able to play in 2 weeks.Forget the state or the NFL,....what in the hell will Coughlin and the GM Reese do to him,he might actually owe the Giants money,big bonus money,could even null and void his contract.

I'd say that applies to anybody. Why would you even WANT to go to a place where you felt you have to carry a gun? Guns and alcohol don't mix. If you can't figure that out maybe you need someone to run your life for you. Just like you said, he said F-it, I'm going to party. Stuff like this reminds me of the Cowgirl fans who say they don't care about character. Clueless.

Night Club + Pistol + Shooting Yourself...sounds like a Dave Chappelle skit. I guess he won't be playing this Sunday which is A-OK with me. Plastico, you might want to learn how to operate a handgun before you wield one you f'ing moron...you know, to avoid shooting yourself in the future.

p.s. I wouldn't be surprised if the Giants release his ass. I know I would.
