What about Antonio Pierce?

[dfense]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've read, Antonio Pierce took Plaxico's handgun back to his wife.

I believe that's transporting an illegal firearm across state lines, is it not? That would be a federal offense.

Will he be charged with obstruction of justice? If he is not then what will Goodell do?

^^^ That's why I'm hoping he doesn't get to skate no matter what happens to Burress. He definitely tried to cover this up and he should pay for it.

What's funny is I saw a quote from his lawyer that he'd cooperate with the police as long as he wouldn't get prosecuted for anything. Uh, no, this is a criminal case. If they want you to cooperate, you'll cooperate.

Let's just concentrate on finishing the season strong, and not tanking it, OK? I'd hate to wake up 3 weeks from now and our season imploded after this short span.

I'm so bored with the Burress/Pierce conversation. Nothing is going to happen any time soon with this case. Absolutely nothing. As far as Goodell is concerned, I really don't see him taking any disciplinary action against either player because they are "innocent until proven guilty."

Hahahaha so true. Some of these people honestly, I really think this is true, they believe they are out there contributing on the field. We are fans. We can say what we want, discuss what we want, it is not going to make a difference on the field of play where the ATHLETES are going to battle every week.

That just irks me.

Unless of course you are a member of the Dallas Cowboys, then I truly do apologize. But I'll take my chances.

He doesn't have to say anything that would tend to incriminate him. He can take the fifth and not say a thing. But he's hoping I'm sure that they'll leave him alone if they can use him to make their case. And guess what? That's likely what they'll do. But they could go after him, too. I'd be ok with that.

I do think Goodell will base his decision on what Buress says to him, Pierce and others say, and what the NFL investigators have to tell him. Then he'll suspend Buress and who knows with Pierce. Goodell will not wait on stomping on Buress for long but he will get all the facts.

that is true but haven't I been told that the fact you aren't guilty of a crime legally has no bearing on what Roger Robespierre can do to you?

that is true

he probably can get a reduced sentence/lesser charge though

I can see it now, Pierce you can destroy team unity and rat out a teammate or you can save your own butt, what do you prefer.

Amen!!! Im glad I am not the only one who thinks these people who feel they are somehow connected to the actual product on the field are ridiculous.

Tell that to PacMan....

Plaxico broke unity with his team when he had that contract issue this summer. "Ratting him out" won't matter.

There is a bunch on garbage on the internet you HAVE to tolerate just to navigate it. Especially true for internet fan based forums.

They are paid professionals and the "knowledge experts" in their field. They will not take anything away from what we post here. If they do then the team and that player has bigger issues.

 

[Section446]

I almost feel bad for Pierce, I read an article earlier saying that he was pissed at Burress and was even yelling at him when he found out he had a gun on him. Now if he really did take it to Burress' wife after the moron shot himself then he should be punished as well.

LOL, no doubt. I think if Dallas Cowboy players read forums and took anything posted to heart we would not have a team to root for due to mass suicides.
