NFL star shoots himself in foot

HOW THE mighty have fallen. New York Giants star Plaxico Burress, who caught the winning touchdown pass in last year’s Superbowl, will not play for the Giants for the rest of the season, having shot himself in the foot.

Literally.

He has been suspended without pay, fined and placed on the reserve list for a nonfootball injury, the Giants declared. His injury, a self-inflicted gunshot wound, occurred early Saturday morning at a nightclub in Manhattan.
