Are we Eagles fans low people? [View All]

[old mark]

A Philly news program early this morning reported that Giant's WR Plaxico Burress accidently shot himself in the leg at a NYC club while trying to unload his pistol for the club's security guards. He was hospitalized for treatment and released, but he may be facing charges in NYC because he has no permit to carry a gun in that state.

The Channel 10 newswoman gleefully added,"So he may not be playing in the Giants/Eagles game later this month!"

I mean, come on - the guy is too dumb or too loaded to keep his finger off the trigger and shoots himself, may be facing criminal charges and mau also be facing action from the NFL, and she's happy that he might not play against the Eagles? Is this cause for merriment?

Are Eagles fans low enough to rejoice at another's misfortune simply because it may have changed the balance of a sporting contest?

Personally, I don't think he would have contributed that much to the game anyway, but her comment did make me laugh....
