Plaxico Burress, who would know, thinks Cris Carter’s “fall guy” lesson for NFL rookies is outrageous: When you bring a gun to the club and it goes off, you take the fall — even if it means doing hard time.
Carter’s apology circuit — after a video of his spiel at the 2014 symposium for rookies in the NFC went viral over the weekend — did not make much of an impression on Burress, one of the NFL’s most infamous convicts since shooting himself in the leg in 2008 and being jailed in New York for roughly 20 months on weapons charges.
