Burres pleads guilty, set to serve 2-yr sentence

Best thing he could have done imo. This case has dragged on, and while justice must be served, he wasn't going to get off and pleading cut down his sentencing down and a half years. It's really a sad story more than anything. Guy was productive on the field (unfortunately for us Eagles' fans at times) and seemed to be a good guy in the locker room. But a myriad of poor decision-making led him to that moment in that night club that changed his life forever. Seemingly he's learned a lesson and just might get the life he lived off the field repaired in exchange for the one that was a well-oiled machine on the field. He may have physically shot himself in the leg in that night in that Manhattan night club, but he'll be really shooting himself in the foot if he doesnt survive this and bounce back one day.
