It makes you wonder why someone in the NFL who has all the fame and fortune that a guy could hope for would do something so stupid. Plaxico Burress, who used to play for the NY Giants, has been sentenced to 2 years in a federal prison for criminal possession of a weapon. As his family surrounded him to hear the sentence, he hugged his wife and children as he was then taken into custody.

Is this story true or not?

VERDICT: Epic – totally true!
