*With all the talk of Plaxico Burress getting out of jail this Spring, the comparisons to Michael Vick are inevitable. But Michael Vick killed dogs. Forced them to fight one another and then drowned them with his bare hands. To me, Plax's biggest offense was wearing sweatpants to a club.
Yet, both men got almost the same amount of prison time. How is that possible?
I get that Plaxico had a loaded gun in a club, in the band of his sweatpants, and it discharged. But, seriously... he shot himself in the foot. How embarrassing! Maybe his 2 year prison sentence was handed down by the Fashion Police and that's why it was so lengthy.
Here is my breakdown of prison time:
15 months for wearing sweats to a club. (Don't most clubs have a dress code? I'm pretty sure if I saw some d-bag in sweats, that would be an immediate clue that no one should ever sleep with that guy. Ever. Even if he has millions of dollars. Sweats are only appropriate to and from games and, even then, dudes in sweatpants creep me out.)
9 months for not understanding that an elastic waistband is an improper holster for a weapon of any sort. I wouldn't even trust my nunchucks to stay secured in a waistband, let alone a loaded gun. If you really feel it's necessary to arm yourself while poppin' bottles of Cristal at a club, please secure your firearm in a belt of some sort or, at least, put it in your sock.
I hope Plax gets out of prison and goes back into the NFL. I don't see any reason why he shouldn't. I also hope that one day Michael Vick gets pay back for what he did to those animals. The rape he likely endured in prison isn't punishment enough.

*In my mind, those are the infamous sweatpants.
