With the NFL draft underway, we felt it was important to share this episode. We filmed this with Plax as we were just getting started with The Pivot because we felt his story was symbolic of what it means to Pivot.
Plaxico was the 8th overall Pick in the 2000 NFL draft, was one of the top wide receivers in the league and is a super bowl champion. But one off the field slip up changed his career and the question always lingers “What If”…what if that never happened, what would the legacy be of Plaxico Burress.
In a candid conversation, Plax opens up to Ryan, Fred and Channing about his journey to the league and the infamous night that changed his life forever.
Special episodes of the Pivot Podcast release Friday afternoons at 3p eastern.

@Lamar Stewart I let emotions take over situations. I cut my arm making a bad decision that almost killed me. It was a long road back from it. Also, My advice would be to stay committed to what got you the opportunity to play D1. Plaxico said he never went out, and he went against his own judgement. Being 28 means some wisdom is behind that. Be accountable of your actions and carry yourself with integrity. It will take you as far as the work you put in behind the scenes.

[@roguewear21]

Damn Plaxico Burress, was one of my favorite receivers when he was with my NY Giants. I'm glad he's doing well after football, I wish him nothing but continued success. As a gun owner for nearly 30 years, the first thing I became familiar with was state reciprocity. This dictates what states will accept your concealed license from another state. As a traveling business person I don't leave home without my firearm, kind of like my AMEX card "never leave home without it". However, there are several states that will not honor my Florida Concealed Weapons Permit and those are CA, OR, WA, WI, MN, IL, NY, NJ, MD, CT, and MA. If I want to conceal carry I would have to apply for those licenses independently. He's a gun owner and should've taken that responsibility more seriously. Not sure about other states but in Florida, you are not allowed to carry in a bar and if you go to a restaurant but have to pass thru the bar area to get seated that is also against the law. A piece of advice to any gun owner learn the law and secure the gun ownership book for your state and familiarize yourself with it. I'm on the eight edition of Florida's Firearms Law, Use & Ownership by Jon H. Gutmacher, Esq. which explains all of it and keeps you apprise of state law changes.

[@godofthisshit]

@Rogue Wear Don't a lot of states have casual gun laws? So it's kind of out there to think someone who might be from a state like that, to all of a sudden know that other places don't play around. I would think a concealed carry permit holder from NYC is probably more diligent on overall gun laws than someone from state/city where they hand you a gun for visiting Walmart.

[@roguewear21]

@@godofthisshit Well technically you're wrong. They just don't "hand you a firearm for visiting Walmart". There is a background check and three day waiting period for firearms in Florida. However, if you possess your concealed carry, then yes, you can purchase a firearm and walkout the same day. This is because your background information is in the FDLE system and the firearm dealer has access to that information. Additionally, I was born in The Bronx, NY and lived there into my mid 20's and secured my NYC firearm license. However, it did not make me more "diligent" on overall firearm laws. It's up to the individual to acquire the knowledge, you are not forced to do so. I also travel around the country on business and continued to educate myself on firearm laws in the state I was visiting to insure I was legal to carry and where. I am a responsible firearm owner and have been for nearly (30) thirty years, I also took the time to educate myself on my rights as firearm licensee. So please, stop watching the talking heads on the news network(s) that spew that garbage.

I’m 757 born and raised, I watched Ronald Curry and Mike Vick against my Deep Creek Hornets (who were no joke!) in the late 90’s. This podcast took me back. It really hit me the way he responded to the question of who is the best athlete from 757. He’s right, none of us really thought in those terms, we were all just so PROUD anytime someone from where we were from made it. At one point, literally every other song on “urban radio” was produced by the Neptunes or Timbaland or Teddy Riley or featured Missy Elliott. Plax, you guys made us feel like we were on top of the world, we salute you and appreciate you for your hard work. Everybody makes mistakes, all that matters is how you recover and you did so with the same excellence that you demonstrated your whole career. Keep pushing, I wish you and your all the best.

Born and lived in the 757 numerous times in my life. He is ight, VA does not get the shine it deserves. A little bit of everything is there. They should put a pro team there.

[@pjgt5364]

Great interview you guys just let the conversation flow 👌🏾 👍🏾 It really got my attention from jump to the end... Great guys!!!

[@asojourner3534]

This new platform is awesome. Your interviews are excellent. Real. Connecting. Humanizing. Respectful work👍

Man it hurt seeing him go down and lose his career over something so dumb

[@steventhomas4871]

I like how years later, Plexicco Burruss can open up and Express in details all that happened to him as a Pittsburgh Steelers and a NY. Giant that not many people knew about and the incident that landed him in jail for hurting himself with a gunshot that nobody heard going off and thinking about how things would go afterwards to something totally different that he can pinpoint to this day that changed him forever and still successful!

[@moneymike7335]

Man this was so dope plaxico story is amazing and it didn’t destroy him it only made him a better person salute to him and appreciate everything he has done here in New York.this one was as real as it greats

Plax is SO Country … I Love it He reminds Me of My cousin Zach From Florence, SC . Country Boys FR

Mann !! This is probably the only podcast I watch from the start to finish I watch others but what Ryan Fred and Channing have is something different. Every show is good they ask the good questions. Salute guys!! ✊🏾

Mad love and respect for this channel. I honestly heard different stories about Plex and his gun incident but hearing it from him for the first time makes more sense. Like he said at the end of this segment, I am human!

Big Bruh! What he said at the END! Took the cake for ME! I'm human, MAN!

Big up Plax....nuff love and respect always. Thanks for sharing your story. Thanks for the memories.

Plaxico getting shot derailed a NY Giants team that was dominant and could of repeated in 2008, they ended up 12-4, 1st seed in playoffs, out 1st round at home to Eagles... Had Eli Manning had Plaxico that run, they would of beaten the Eagles, and hosted the NFC Title game vs Cardinals in NY, and Anquon Boldin who was hurt and contributed with Fitzgerald to their Super Bowl run would have missed that game due to injury. At the least the 2008 Giants, would of been in the Super Bowl vs Big Ben and the Steelers with a chance to repeat. With 3 or more Super Bowl Appearances, no one would be questioning Eli Manning on HOF ballot.

[@antonesoto1249]

Who ever you are, you are my fav person today and if your a giants fan my fav person in the month of April for sharing this because dude that year was dominant man. I hate the eagles so much just because of that game. Still burns and stings thinking about man. We could’ve repeated man

[@jbo6096]

Facts. Shouldn't be questioned anyway. He beat the goat... TWICE. His big bro couldn't do that.

[@derikkaiser2401]

I don't think anyone is questioning if Eli is a Hall of Famer! He for sure is even with only 2 super bowls.

[@mauricewells7838]

I'm not a Giants fan but that team was special. Between the dominance of the o-line and d-line, and that chemistry nobody was beating that team

[@dhinton1]

I'm no fan of the QUARTBACK Eli Manning ... Eli post-football is funny AF 😂😂 ... but even I know that Eli is getting in the HOF. 2 FOR 2 in the Super Bowl vs. the GOAT (even with those being his ONE postseason W's), that's not even a question.

[@LK-bz9sk]

Plax always nice to listen to. He is insightful and took responsibility for what he did and tells it all straight up. Props. Great show gents. Thank you.

I like the deep conversations they have with their guests, its not just only sport they focus on, but is sport, the life of an athlete after and during sport and business .

[@nelsoncolwell1704]

Always had love for Plax glad to know he’s doing good in his life after football

[@JacaboBlanco]

I never remembered Clark as the big hitter. Just went back to see. Yeup. He fucking wrecked dudes.

[@terrelwilliams1965]

He knocked out Mcgahee and Wes Welker

[@ant_banx]

This is the story of America they've always made an example out of us.

[@lyfeofaj1565]

Another Great Show!!! I hate that his career ended the way it did but I like the fact that he didn't allow his unfortunate circumstance to stop him from being productive off the field. His production on the field was great but what he is doing off the field will help change many lives. His testimony will help so many and I hope that after this show he gains more opportunity through partnerships and organizations to help more young Men. Great Job Fellas and a round of Applause to Plaxico Burress. God Bless

[@antthonypowell]

That closing, “I’m human” I felt that. Certain things can change our trajectory, but we still can become better people than we were. Plexico was great as a player, it’s good to hear and get to know the person.

[@poeboy7726]

The Pivot has done it again this interview 🔥🔥🔥🔥 ....

[@phillipharden5907]

Thank you guys for giving Plax the oppurtunity to clear his name and silence all of the internet wannabe trolls that spend so much time jumping on dudes and not knowing or caring about facts. Salute to you guys, yall are doing great things for athletes.

[@francoisberkinjr5088]

When the shooting incident happened I was mad mad at Plex, because I was a die hard Giants fan. After hearing his explanation of what happened I totally feel him. Ish happens.

[@EJV0013]

The giants were solid that year he shot himself in the foot. They def could have benefited from a healthy Plex

[@jonmolina948]

Plax predicted the Patriots would score 17 Pts and they scored only 14. He wasn’t the thug they made him out to be. They could’ve made an example out of a lot of other players.

[@elog1277]

Appreciated hearing Plaxico’s story and that ish didn’t define his life after the fact.🖤🙏🏾

[@TheJlewyville]

One time for Plaxico man, much respect! Never knew his side of the story til now & I appreciate him telling it! Still one of my all time favorite WRs

[@Tiedof_Shit45]

Bro I’m loving these interviews! So much introspect and retrospect. PB was that guy.

[@WavyBennyBlanco]

Amazing episode!!!!! Thank you PB! For that epic super bowl championship. That day was one of the best memories i have. New York appreciates you!!!

[@Triple_SixGod]

Something that I appreciate with the ascension of the athlete led podcasts is that athletes society has labeled as the butt of many jokes (i.e. JR Smith for his Finals gaff, Plaxico for the shooting, etc.) are actually well rounded people who are nothing like the stigma they’ve been labeled by the likes of sports media shows. The Pivot is going to be one of the leaders to change the narrative for people and allow the redemption of many people to be finally shown.

[@charleswjr80]

I remember when the report came out about the incident: To hear the truth and what happened. I'm glad to see that Plax bounced back in a major way and I am happy for him in his continued success in life. He was a great WR. Great interview! You guys are the best 👍🏾✊🏾
