Now that Plaxico Burress has written the latest chapter of "When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong", he has insured a legendary ranking among the dumbest shootings ever. He avoids a Darwin Award for surviving, but gets major negatives for shooting himself (at least Dick Cheney shot a lawyer). This of course presents a perfect excuse to review which athletes have significantly shot themselves in the foot in recent history:
Kellen Winslow - Riding a motorbike
Kobe Bryant - still working on that next NBA title
Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson - please buy my jersey
Rafael Palmeiro - clearly I've never done drugs
Rory Sabbatini - trash talking Tiger Woods

I remember chatting with Kobe Bryant on the phone years ago. He was a lost 20-year-old kid, in his third year with the Lakers, just becoming aware that Shaquille O'Neal was stepping on his neck with an inconceivable hatred.
