Watching this video feels like an out of body experience

Plax seems like a really good dude, nice interview.

[@cciemail]

yeah, real good dude ...until he pops a cap yo ass!

[@MiamiManiac]

[@Essays4College]

they need to lock up criminals...not guys like Plaxico. He's an NFL player for God's sake...not some drug dealing criminal! Geez.

Yeh he’s good but sometimes shoots himself in the foot

Just typing this is really a out of body experience

[@CMRinehart]

Plaxico got an extremely raw deal by New York City. I’ve watched him many times not only in interviews but random conversations and I believe he's a class act. Many younger NFL players could learn a lot by watching him.

[@bw5043]

My wife and I ran into him at a restaurant in Virginia Beach. He was really cool and nice to us.

[@deerouse]

Facts 💯

[@Lance-Stroll]

He shot a gun in a nightclub, uncontrolled. U can't do that. He could've killed somebody

[@CMRinehart]

@@Lance-Stroll It was an accident, a mistake, he shot himself, not anyone else. You must hate him a lot.

[@shotchaface]

He did 2 years for accidentally shooting himself in the leg? wtf?

[@63gangsterdisciple]

Isn't that snitching 😂

[@AP-ik2tl]

In DC aumotamic 5 years for any gun

NYC gun laws

[@lamarputney432]

He did 2 years because people talk too much. Who would be the witness if him and the people he was with stfu.

[@kneebarx]

some crazy new york laws. but hes gotta be smarter than that. he didnt know about nyc gun laws? or couldn’t hire a bodyguard

[@1gadena]

Good Man. Going through traumatic times really does make you a better human being in every way

[@gseric4721]

[@julezjohn5785]

They should've called this interview "The Outer Body Experience". He said it about 30 damn times...

[@AverageGenericN.O-Resident]

Reading these comments is giving me a real out of body experience.

[@mycommentpwnz]

The lesson here: a decision you make in ONE second can affect your life for 50 years. Plaxico actually could have gotten unluckier, and winded up shooting himself fatally, shooting someone else fatally, etc. I never understood that growing up.

[@christopherpennetta8973]

Dan : "What did it feel like when you shot yourself and the bullet went thru your leg?" Plax: "It felt like an out of body experience man.....'

[@osubuckeyes14]

Plax actually seems cool.

[@joekington5401]

aside from grossly misusing the phrase "out of body experience", he actually sounds rather intelligent, and you can see he and Vick really learned a lot.

[@russelljohnson437]

Lol what’s he suppose to sound like. A thug? Because he’s black ???

[@vintagemotoseattle]

He was a good sport. Best of wishes to you Plax.

[@radmen22]

Irony is when he went to the Dunkin Donuts, he probably walked into a life-sized cutout of Eli Manning holding a coffee. He was one of the main spokespeople for Dunkin at the time.

[@Dtruth1984]

Miss seeing this guy on the field.

[@SuperIliad]

My distaste for Mayor Bloomberg is exacerbated every time I think of the injustice done to Plaxico Buress just to make a political example of him for Bloomey’s extremism regarding firearms. I have to control myself before I start typing obscenities.

[@SmartWentCrazy.]

Its sad that more people don't frame the punishments handed out to individuals as a consequence of political actions. Sure, Plaxico made a terrible decision. That's simply a fact. Handguns aren't toys, and must be treated with a level of respect that reflects the lethal capacity of such a weapon. The man did owe a debt to society for his carelessness and a disregard for potential externalities. But a punishment must fit the crime. The gun was carries unlawfully, but Plaxico had registered the handgun in Florida and had a LTC there as well. He never registered it in NY but, at least in my opinion, that doesnt imply a criminal intent. He fired the gun accidently (in his pocket) so he clearly never brandished the gun. In a just system he would have gotten 6 months absolutely max. The political factor was disgusting - as you mentioned. This entire incident should be a referendum on the dangers of governmental overreach into the justice system, not on Burress. Realistically, his lesson was learned the moment that bullet hit his thigh. Too bad none of that matters to an overzealous prosecution. Sorry for the essay. I completely agree with you.

[@tomswill9189]

Great interview Dan .Love this dudes game.

[@blacklite911]

Watching this interview... You know... Was an outta body experience, it really was.

[@astheskylarksings]

I met Plaxico way back when he was in college while I was on a high school recruiting trip. There was this stream of players and personal parading by as we were sitting talking to some recruiters before the green and white game. The line of players began to thin out. Then suddenly we were the only people in the back of the stadium. Some ten minutes later, here comes this tall ass dude dragging his feet, taking his sweet time. He stopped and talked to us. He had an even thicker kuntry drawl. He had no sense of urgency :)

[@claude878878]

I never saw this guy in my life. heard his name.. but man, what a nice guy this guy is.. UNREAL.. i felt his pain. He must've really suffered in that prison. His life was ruined for 1 stupid thing.

[@agapechannel]

Appreciate you Plax what you gave to my Giants team and still till this day I regret you getting locked up!! Bloomberg looked the other way for many but not for you 🤦‍♂️😡😡

[@chicityjoka]

watching this video was really a surreal out of body experience lmao

I can't believe he spent two years for shooting himself

Wow, touching story. All young men need to hear it and understand how fragile life is. You could be on top of the world one day and then the next....at the bottom looking up. Thank God he had to give only 2 years and was redeemed. The Bible clearly says, "the enemy prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." Be careful out there young men, be careful.
