NEW YORK -- Former New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress pleaded guilty Thursday to a weapons charge and agreed to a two-year prison term for accidentally shooting himself at a Manhattan nightclub.
Burress pleaded guilty to one count of attempted criminal possession of a weapon, a lesser charge than he initially faced. Under a plea agreement, he agreed to a two-year prison sentence and two years of supervised release.
The Post talks to a guard who says that Burress was "depressed" when he went to Rikers, where his fellow Rikers inmates heckled him, calling him an asshole and yelling, "Giants suck!" And the other notable shavee yesterday, Governor Paterson, did not reach out to his fellow razor blood brother. Instead, he piled on the abuse for Plax, responding to an inquiry about a gubernatorial pardon by laughing and saying he wouldn't because "I'm a Jets fan."
