Plaxico is a good player, I think his issues with the court isn't what we need to worry about, but on the other hand he is facing 3yrs in jail. I say if he beats this case and don't go to jail grab the kid up and use him til he acts up again, this situation he's in could have changed his why of thinking and acting, and it may benefit the bucs if they got the kid. I know there's alot of fan who say -these guys that are getting in trouble needs to be kick out of the league-, but i say if you do that the league will really suck and there's the average joe blow out there that does this type of crap everyday. This is a sport, not a reality show, the kid wants to be a screw up in his life i say let him, as long as he's putting number on the board his life shouldn't reflect on the field.



I know alot of people have different opinions about this so let it rip.

What do you all say? Should the bucs take him or leave him?

My opinion is to leave him alone. Same thing with Michael Vick.

I worked at a prison in Texas, and chances are, when one goes in, yes, of course they change, but usually not for the better. Yes, this is a sport, and you do have a lot of kids watching it.........allowing people to commit felonies, and then come back and be a millionaire again, what does that tell them?

I'm all for 2nd chances, and Vick and Burress can work, but I think they could work construction or McDonalds as well as anyone else. To become high profile again, no.
