Athletes have not learned from the experience of Plaxico Burress, who served almost two years in prison for shooting himself in the leg with a gun. Tampa Bay Bucccaneers defensive end Da’Quan Bowers was arraigned in New York on Monday after allegedly trying to bring a gun onto a plane at Laguardia Airport.
Bowers was arraigned on charges of criminal possession of a weapon and posted $10,000 bond. He was about to board a US Airways flight to Raleigh, N.C. when a .40-caliber weapon was found during a search of his carry-on bag.
