"Yes? I need to put in a hit on my replacement, address 4298 North..."
Plaxico Burress, now released by the New York Giants, was replaced by another receiver after an off-field incident that was the result of a dumbass attack. The dumbass attack? Shooting yourself in the leg. Taye Biddle from Ole Miss was signed by the Giants to be Plax's replacement.
Though Plax may not be the sole reason for the Giants' early postseason exit, his replacement sure as hell was supposed to get them somewhere. But, since no one ever heard of the name Taye Biddle (except in Oxford, Mississippi), he was doomed to not amount to anything. It's all in the history books--if no one has ever heard of you, you will go nowhere. This is taught at most schools nationwide.
Some of you may remember Burress' incident where he shot himself in the leg. Little did any of us know that this could happen again...on the same team...in the leg...Plax's replacement. He didn't shoot himself, no, but the fact remains that a gun and a leg were involved in the same place at the same time.
This is irony at its finest. Speedy recovery for Mr. Biddle (which makes me want to make random references to Austin Powers) and hopefully his replacement wears body armor for the lower half of his body everywhere he goes. Everyone knows that the gunmen never goes for the chest when they get in a gunfight.
