One-time Super Bowl champ Plaxico Burress did his time—both on and off the field.
Back in 2009, Burress was sentenced to two years in prison for violating New York’s gun laws and pled guilty to a firearms charge that stemmed from an incident in which Burress inadvertently shot himself in the thigh at a Manhattan nightclub.
Fast forward nearly two decades later, and Burress claims that his experience behind bars was similar to playing with the Jets for one season in 2011 after he was released from prison.
Burress was asked during a recent appearance on Lil Wayne and Craig Carton’sThe Joint Venture Show whether spending time in prison or on the Jets was worse.
“So, they’re both kind of similar because when I walked into prison my first day, I was like, ‘Damn man you a f---ing loser,” Burress said, eliciting lots of laughs. “And I had the same damn feeling every day I walked through the door with the Jets. I was like, ‘Damn I hope we can win this weekend.’ Loser!”
