Plax Stiffed Strippers, Downed Patrón Before Shooting

Plaxico Burress had probably hoped that Super Bowl XLII would remain the most analyzed night of his life, but unfortunately for him that no longer appears to be the case. The latest details to come out of the saga that ended with Plax shooting himself in the leg two weeks ago come from the strip club that he and his teammates Antonio Pierce and Ahmad Bradshaw stopped by for a couple of hours before the infamous incident at Latin Quarter. Sources connected to Head Quarters club tell the Post that Burress is "cheap," "very rude" and "the most unpopular celebrity that's been there." Apparently the three Giants drank two bottles of Patron tequila (not often the suggested mixer with a firearm and sweatpants) and Burress ate some of the staff's Thanksgiving turkey with his bare hands, or as the Post puts it, "like an animal." Not only did the Giants not have to pay for any of the amenities, they apparently took off without even leaving a tip.

If the house is comping you all night you had better at least shell out for the help

3 bottles of top shelf tequila plus whatever food they could steal with their dirty hands

Actually sounds like a pretty fun night up until the shooting himself in the leg deal...

who goes out with sweatpants?

Guest

I wonder if he got a lapdance since he seems to have a problem with things going off in his pants prematurely.

"Is that a gun in your sweatpants or are you just happy to see me?"

At least he had the courtesy to fire the gun in his pants until after the lapdances were finished.

#4: A large man with a gun tends to go wherever he wants.

They let him back in because they knew he was packin'.

"Burress, 31, already was known at the club for being a "cheap," customer, and "very rude, conceited, full of himself," sources said"

OK... why let him keep coming back? Why keep dancing for him? Why serve him drinks? Why let him go upstairs to the private are for employees?

I've worked at several bars, and if someone gets the reputation of being cheap, rude, and obnoxious the usual result is they don't get served.

Basically they chose to let him abuse his celebrity; they shouldn't blame him.

Did Plaxico move his bowels on this fateful day as well?

Perhaps their service was below Par. I consider tipping to still be optional depending on the service.

"they apparently took off without even leaving a tip."

You can forgive a lot of things in this story (no, you can't, but you know what I mean), but you can't ever forgive a dude, especially a dude who's rich because he plays a sport, for stiffing a stripper (no pun intended.)
