Like you didn't see this coming. (Dumbest Player of the Week)

Do I really even need to make this post? It's Plaxico Burress. No surprises there. I was really sweating it for a while this week, thinking I'd have to make it an ultimately undeserving Sean Avery, but Plaxico Burress really showed up in the clutch here and got me out of it. You either know why, or you have been living under a rock.

This dumbass crushed the Patriots' dreams with this catch!

Ok. You know what happened, right? You know Plaxico shot himself in the leg. You know the gun was unregistered. You know he's facing a 2 year minimum prison sentence if he's convicted. You know that's really, really stupid.

Plaxico has never been the sharpest tool in the shed. There was that time in his rookie year where he spiked the ball against Jacksonville when he wasn't down by contact, only to have what was legally a fumble recovered by the defense.

This...this is dumber than usual for Plax.

I mean, look. I'm going to be rational here. On the one hand, I understand. I really do. Plaxico Burress is human, and he likes to have fun, so he went to a club. He's most likely a millionaire, and he's a very public figure...people know who Plaxico Burress is and what he looks like. Bad, violent things happen in clubs, and Plax's money and visibility would make him an easy target. So I understand the feeling that he'd need to carry some protection.

But really, dude...register your gun. It's not impossible. You're RICH, it's not like you can only afford a black market gun. Plaxico Burress had to know that if he got caught with an unregistered weapon, he'd be facing jail time, and he went and did it anyway. That's what makes him stupid.

ALSO, seriously, he was wearing sweat pants. Not even from a fashion standpoint, but purely from a functionality of handguns standpoint, shouldn't he have been wearing some kind of pants where tucking the gun in an elastic waistband wasn't the best he could do? Jeans maybe? And for that matter, couldn't he afford a holster? I mean, seriously, they even make concealed holsters specifically so that things like this don't happen.

Plaxico Burress, I tried to be sorry for you, but you're just too dumb. So dumb, in fact, that YOU...

Are the dumbest player of the week.
