The NY Giants in a Whole Mess o'Mess

In the words of King Julian (Madagascar): "All hail the New York Giants!"
(end of sarcasm)

NY Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress shot himself in the leg at a NYC club early Saturday morning.

Burress was packing heat at a Manhattan club and according to reports, when his gun slipped down his pant leg, he accidentally set it off when he tried to get it back into position.

Thank goodness he didn't hurt anyone else.

The Giants' trouble doesn't end there.

Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce, who was also at the club partying, tried to 'help' his teammate out by hiding his gun.

Police insiders reveal that Burress is expected to be arrested on felony weapons charges and that Pierce's attorney was 'in frantic discussions with cops' on Saturday night to save his client from criminal charges.

Don't most teams have 'no partying' rules during the season?

Way to eff up the team's 'dream season', guys.

Oh, and get this.

Plaxico said that he had to carry a gun for 'protection'.

You caught last year's Super Bowl winning pass for goodness sake!

Eli Manning marries on the beach


New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning married his college sweetheart, Abby McGrew, on Saturday.

The two exchanged vows in a 15-minute sunset ceremony in front of the Sea of Cortez in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, the New York Daily News reported.

Around 60 close friends and family were flown to Mexico to attend the event, and they included Mannings parents and brothers, Cooper and Peyton.

"Everything in their lives is so big, I think they wanted this wedding to be really small and elegant and intimate," said McGrew's Nashville-based wedding planner.

"Welcome to one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever presided over," the minister said at the beginning of the ceremony, according to the News. A reception followed on the beach.

The couple met while students at the University of Mississippi. Manning reportedly proposed during a trip to Hoboken, NJ last March. They selected the resort for their wedding after vacationing there several times.

Manning has played with the Giants since 2004, and this year he was named Super Bowl MVP after his team upset the New England Patriots. His new wife is an account executive for fashion designer Pamela Roland.
