I know Plaxico was having a tough year, getting suspended for a game, causing some drama on a great team, being hurt and not being able to play this last week, but shooting yourself in the leg is no answer for those questions. No, but on a more serious note, why do this guy get cuffed when he’s headed into the jail? He turned himself in, has cameras everywhere, it’s not like he’s a real threat. I’m sorry, but i have a problem with cops or “law enforcement” taking these kind of precautions in this case. I also think things like this should be a little more private. Sure, I know Plaxico is accused of a crime, but there’s no reason for every New York camera crew to be allowed to film this guy getting taken into custody. What a joke. I mean, people that are thinking and using their intelligence don’t shoot themselves in the leg, but what happened to a little privacy? He didn’t accidentally shoot someone else, or even worse didn’t purposefully shoot someone. He shot himself, right in the legs that helped get him the millions of dollars that he makes. Is it okay that he had an illegal gun? Hell no. No rich person in the US should ever be caught with an illegal firearm. They are rich enough to get one legally, and having one illegally is just plain laziness. But please, stop treating the situation like Plax is a murderer and start treating it like he’s a dumb ass. And as for Antonio Pierce – I’m a citizen that follows the laws, no doubt about it, but if my good buddy shot himself in the leg with an illegal pistol, I would probably try to hide it for him, and I would definitely do my best to get him to a safe place and keep him out of as much trouble as possible. But nobody seems to understand that. Don’t be an idiot, think like a good friend, and if you wouldn’t do the same, you aren’t a good friend.

Free NCAA Picks REVIEW: Week 14
4-5 in Week 14, and I have one more week to boost my record before the Bowl games – stay tuned. Here’s the review for Week 14.
Washington State Cougars @ Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (-28): (Loss) Hawaii just didn’t try to do much in the 2nd half – this game was weird. I lost, that’s one thing I know for sure.
Notre Dame “Fighting” Irish @ USC Trojans (-30): (Winner) The Trojans were almost covering by half time. The Irish flipped in a 4th quarter field goal just to make my shut out prediction wrong. Still, I won this one and I needed it.
Oregon Ducks @ Oregon State Beavers (-3): (Loss) The Beave struggled with a chance to make the Rose Bowl – all for the better I guess, now they don’t have to get the crap kicked out of them by the Penn State Nittany Lions for the 2nd time this year.
Oklahoma Sooners @ Oklahoma State Cowboys (+7.5): (loss) The Sooners won by 20 but this game was close into the 4th quarter, back and forth from 10 to 3 points, but like so many games, the last 10 minutes got me a fat loss here.
Auburn Tigers (+14.5) @ Alabama Crimson Tide: (Loss) Alabama came to play, they weren’t caught with their pants down thinking about next week. In turn I took it pretty good here.
Houston Cougars @ Rice Owls (+3): (WINNER) The Owls won outright, showing everyone else what I already knew, they were the same team as Houston, but with a strong home field advantage.
Florida State @ Florida Gators (-16): (WINNER) This was free money.
Kansas Jayhawks (+16) @ Missouri Tigers: (WINNER) I like when the 16 point dog I pick wins outright – that was the case here. Now if Missouri beats Oklahoma, the Sooners will look really bad.
South Carolina Gamecocks (+1) @ Clemson Tigers: (Loss) What do you know, Steve Spurrier tricked me again. I’m pretty sure I’ve said this 3 or 4 times over he past couple years, but I am never picking for or against Steve ever again.
