controversial receiver accidentally shot himself in the leg early Saturday morning after a
concealed gun slipped out of his waistband at a Manhattan club, according to a

Daily News/a: blockquoteBurress, 31, who was sporting flashy jewelry and carrying loads of cash,
told club management he needed the gun to protect himself, sources said.br The mercurial Giant was
waved inside the crowded Latin-themed club on Lexington Ave. about midnight. He downed several
drinks, making already jittery security guards more nervous about his weapon.br As Burress was
being led into a VIP area, with a drink in his hand, the gun slipped down his pants leg. He reached
for the weapon, but fumbled it and it went off, sources said. The bullet tore through Burress'
already injured right thigh, police said.br "[The bullet] went in and out. No bones," Chief Michael
Collins, a police spokesman, said./blockquote Of course, discharging a loaded handgun in a club
might, I dunno, get you fucking arrested. So with some quick thinking, Plaxico employed the help of
Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce who stashed the gun in Jersey. Just like that episode of emThe
Sopranos/em where Tony gets the paper in his boxers: blockquotePanicking, Burress told his teammate
not to call 911 for an ambulance, sources said.br Pierce helped the bloodied receiver out of the
club before taking off with the gun and stashing it somewhere in New Jersey, sources said.br
Burress was afraid to go to the hospital, but two hours after the shooting, at 2 a.m., his wife,
Tiffany, and a friend escorted him to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell. He was treated
and released at about 12:45 p.m., sources said.br But a hospital spokeswoman denied that Burress
was ever there.br Cops only learned about the incident after Giants employees quietly reached out
to the NYPD to report it, sources said. /blockquote Damn! Ratted out by your own team? That's gotta
sting. Probably not as much a bullet to your already-injured leg, but Jesus. Anyway, let this be a
lesson to the kids out there: Always use a holster. emAnd that's one to grow on.../em div class =
