New York Giants’ widereceiver Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg with a handgun while out in a New York City nightclub Friday night.The wound is reportedly not life-threatening.

Burress, who has already been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Washington Redskins with a hamstring injury, will most likely miss the Week 14 matchup against the Eagles.

While details of the incident are still sketchy, there has been speculation that Burress has not been satisfied with the impact he has had on the team as an off-the-field distraction this season, believing he has yet to live up to his full potential.

According to the New York Daily News:

Burress’ erratic antics already cost him $204,000 in fines this year. He was suspended for one game after going AWOL and benched for the first quarter of another game after skipping medical treatment.

Part of that $204,000 was a $45,000 fine for verbally abusing an official. He has been fined more than 30 times during his four years in New York. He was fined $117,500 and suspended for one game earlier this season for not showing up to a team meeting and failing to notify anyone with a reason. Turns out, he was taking his kids to school.

In 2005 he was benched for a game against San Diego for showing up late to team meetings.

Lucky for Giants’ fans, however, he signed a five-year deal this offseason and continues to be the Giants’ most dangerous offensive weapon, so he will have continued ample opportunities to cause even more drama.

Take some advice from a fan who has had to deal with antics like this before, cut him before he throws your entire franchise into chaos. Or do me a favor, and don’t.
