I don't think I agree for two years for shooting yourself, but for Plax, it's not nearly enough.
There's good reason why he ain't in Pittsburgh no more. :-) [Reply]
The ESPN people are complaining that the only reason he had to go through this is because he is famous and that the common person would not even be charged. [Reply]
