The only person he hurt was himself: Burress expected to be charged after accidentally shooting himself in the right thigh at a Manhattan nightclub early on Saturday.

According to his lawyer Benjamin Brafman,Burress plans to plead not guilty to a weapon possession charge. Conviction on the charge could result in at least 3 and half years in prison.

Burress caught the go-ahead touchdown pass in the Giants' Super Bowl victory against the New England Patriots in February, following a regular season in which he scored a career-high 12 touchdowns.

But off the field he was suspended for a game against Seattle in October and fined a hundred and 17 thousand 500 dollars US for missing a team meeting and failing to notify the Giants of his absence.

New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg says he feels that Burress' celebrity status shouldn't exempt him from the full extent of the law.The NFL wouldn't comment on the expected charge, Burress' plan to plead not guilty, or the league's investigation.
