Guns and Football

Wednesday, December 03, 2008

Guns and football. It's a combination that's far more common than just the Plaxico Burress incident this weekend. The Giants put an end to the star wide receiver's season and suspended him for action's "detrimental to the team." But Burress is certainly not the only athlete who carries a gun. Many do so because they fear for their lives - a point made more clear by news that another Giant receiver, Steve Smith, was robbed at gunpoint outside his Clifton, N.J., home last week. David Fleming wrote an article called "Living Scared" for the latest issue of ESPN The Magazine, and he joins us now.
