Plaxico Burress is serving a two-year prison sentence because of the bad decision to bring a handgun to a nightclub. The only route he’s running now is the daily routine of life behind bars.

Being limited to visits from family and friends is gonna be tough on Burress, but he has the support of Harry Carson and other retired players while he’s in prison.

Carson joined J.T. the Brick on Fox Sports Radio and said former players have Plaxico’s back:

You know I’ve, I feel very strongly that Plaxico should remain a member of the Giant family that, you know, while he is incarcerated, many of the retired players will certainly find our way to go and support him in any way possible. You know, Plaxico is a guy who I’ve known personally. He’s not a bad person, but he did something that was really dumb and stupid. And, if you look at most guys, their girlfriends or wives will say, all of us do dumb, stupid stuff.

Who knows how much game Plax will have when he’s released or if he’ll want to play football, but it sounds like he’ll have some solid support until he gets out. It also sounds like Carson is gonna give Plaxico tough-love which is better than some ass-kissing yes man.
