You've got to sympathize with the guy. Makes a stupid mistake and pays like hell for it by getting shot in the leg and hospitalized, ruins his career. Then he has to fight a legal battle and in the end has to spend two years in prison. Man. That would suck so hard. If I was Plax I probably would've shot myself again, but on purpose this time. Two years of hell and probably no career to come back to when you get out, all over a one-time mistake. Ugh. I feel for him.

Agreed - stupid sentence.

Just wondering, not being much of a gun enthusiast myself, is it safe to say that his first mistake was having a round chambered at the time? I mean who the hell walks around with a hot weapon? Or do people typically keep a round in the chamber so they don't have to cock it if trouble starts?

I keep mine loaded with the safety on at all times.

Most of the time I hate how players are made examles of in the courts, when the crimes are victimless or with mitigating circumstances. A year or two ago my family hired a guy to do some contracting work with us, who was unemployed and just got out of jail. He was drafted by an NFL team (probably the Panthers, since he was imprisoned in NC), went to a party and had sex with a girl who said she was 21. Two weeks later he was brought up on stat rape charges. He was convicted and at sentencing the judge explicitly said in front of everyone that he was going to make an example of the guy, and he got like 2 years and I think he got sex offender status.

They just ruin these guys' careers over nothing, and I can't stand that. Plax shot himself in the leg. The other guy was basically trapped. It's rediculous. Judges shouldn't make examples out of anyone, just enforce the laws and sentence convicts appropriately.

      2025 QB Draft Class

      By 45catfan · Posted

      One word to describe next year's QB draft class...DEEP!  To me, this is Bryce's make or break year.  The organization probably doesn't feel that way and will likely anoint him as the starter to at least 2027 no matter what.  Some of these dude's will likely stay in college, but the bulk of them will be coming out.  Manning and Sellers are two probably staying. That's not to say that the 2027 QB class will be crappy or thin, because I honestly don't know.  It usually does skip at least a year--or more, but rarely two bumper crops of QBs in consecutive years. https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2026/story/_/id/45453107/2026-nfl-draft-quarterback-class-top-prospects-klubnik-sellers-manning

      Canales Addresses CB position

      I think Ransom will be a solid player for us.  He played beside Caleb Downs, the cornerstone of the Ohio State defense last year and some have him as a top 5 pick for the 2026 draft.  He was characterized as the smart, instinctive, versatile safety.   I just don't think S will be a liability unless we have injuries.  I am very interested in seeing what they have in the three UDFA safeties; I see one making the roster. As for CB, I think they are higher on Wade-Smith than most of us are. Again, depth is a concern.  We have to hope Jackson has another solid season and Horn does not injure his leg or toe on one of the yard lines.   I am not sure I would compare it to last season's DL because this year's DL will cover a lot of deficiencies, but I know what you mean---our weak link.
