Why was Burress not allowed to have a gun, short of not owning a license to carry one? Does he have a felony or something on him in the past that prevents him from getting a license or did he simply not obtain one to carry a concealed weapon? I'm curious about that whole thing, just to know if he didn't get a license because he's lazy or because he legally couldn't own a firearm or something.
The whole story is lame, and I'd be immensely pissed that he was on my team taking up salara cap cash if he's going to do dickhead stuff like this. I'm a firm believer in harsh discipline for pro athletes. I think they should always be held to higher standards by their teams and leagues they are in. And really, why are receivers such doofuses? There seem to be more at that position than any other in the league.
