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.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      generally speaking, going by the original NFL international marketing rights announcement... we would expect to host a Germany home game once every four years.  Doesn't mean we would play internationally only then, just the guarantee home game situation things might have changed since then, if they figure out how to play at more stadiums during a season to expand the number of "home" teams available

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Munich won't happen. It's a Lions home game in Munich, but we play the Lions at home at BOA Most likely to happen would be Madrid vs the Falcons (although KC has been pushing hard for this one). From a schedule perspective, it would be interesting to have an early November Madrid game (then the bye week), then close out the season at BOA for the 2nd game vs the falcons.  In other words, put the two division games in the 2nd half of the season Paris vs the Saints has long been rumored to be the Browns (but... never say never) We wouldn't play Munich, Melbourne, Mexico City, London, or Rio based on who those announced home teams happen to be

      Moton's knees were an issue before last season. He will be 32 before the season starts and gets 14.2M in '26 and 21.5M for '27 (not guaranteed). LT Icky and Rasheed Walker are signed through '26 and Freeling through '30 (option); LG Lewis signed through '28, C Fortner through '26 and Hecht through '29; RG Hunt through '28, RG Moton through '27.  They did a good job shoring up that oline.  We can have a starting oline of: LT Freeiling, LG Lewis, C Hecht, RG Hunt, and RT Moton pretty much locked up through the '27 season (will just take a Moton option to do). That's good because we need to be ready to pull the trigger with next year's QB class.
