Cheddar Plax is Goin' Upstate

And I don't mean Buffalo. If you were planning on being cute and drafting Plaxico Burress late in your fantasy football draft—figuring you'd keep him locked up in the event he somehow ended up signing with a team midway through the season and coming out of nowhere to put up big numbers—you can now give up those plans.

From ESPN.com:
NEW YORK -- Former New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress pleaded guilty Thursday to a weapons charge and agreed to a two-year prison term for accidentally shooting himself at a Manhattan nightclub.

Burress pleaded guilty to one count of attempted criminal possession of a weapon, a lesser charge than he initially faced. Under a plea agreement, he agreed to a two-year prison sentence and two years of supervised release.

At the very least he'll serve 20 months, in which case he would be released in April 2011.

Man I hope Al Davis is dead by then. The full article can be read here.
