After watching the video the question begs what will become of this little boy? Serial killer? Foster child for Bartman? Fan of T.O.? Continues to each nachos until he becomes obese and ends up on Oprah? Becomes the smartest man in the world like Ozymandias of the Watchmen and eventually drop a big squid on top of Paul Pierce's house (sorry just came from watching the movie)?

The point is the young man is now famous (thanks to me of course, wait a minute that means he might drop the Squid on me. Can someone queue up Jack Bauer "Damnit" YouTube)?

Our friend Mike Florio has been all over this Plaxico Burress story with the legal ramifications so I suggest you check out Profootballtalk.com for those details. Now I am not a lawyer but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night and I know that Plax is in some deep sh*t. We now have some more details of exactly happened Friday night here is an in detailed report from the

New York Post:

Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress caught a bullet in his leg while fumbling with a gun in the vestibule of a Manhattan nightclub early today, sources said.
The trouble-plagued NFL star blasted himself through his right thigh just after midnight near the VIP entrance to the LQ nightclub on Lexington Avenue and had to be hospitalized, sources said.

She then told the officers she needed to get dressed and asked them to wait. After more than 30 minutes, the cops left. They returned shortly before 8 p.m. but there was no answer.

I spoke to the brother of a prominent player on the New York Giants and I asked him what was the reaction of team here was his response:

According to TMZ.com, Paul Pierce was pulled over at 3:30 AM when police noticed he was "driving erratically". The cops smelled alcohol coming from the car. He took a Breathalyzer test which he passed. Despite committing an illegal lane change, the cops let him go because it was a minor thing. So if there is no DUI what's the story?

The story is that, since he won an NBA title, he's letting this newfound fame get to his head. Its one thing to declare yourself the best basketball player in the world, but it's another to get behind the wheel after tossing back some alcohol and quite possibly endangering not only your life but the lives of others on the road.

Dude you are worth millions of dollars. How hard is it to pay someone to drive you wherever you go? I mean isn't that the perk of being rich to be able to pay people to do things for you? The Celtics made an investment in you to not get caught up in this sort of thing. The least you could do is oblige. Just because you weren't legally drunk this time does not mean you will be so lucky the next time.

So, while in Spain, Paul Pierce told a reporter that he thinks he is the best player in the world. They must have some really good weed in Madrid. Has Ricky Williams shipped them a dime bag

(*disclaimer* Hey kids, the Bona Fide Sports Expert has never smoked in his life and still is Bona Fide. So don't do drugs).

The only thing Paul Pierce is the best of is faking a torn ACL. Paul Pierce isn't even the best player on his team (see: Kevin Garnett).

Look PP, you had a great finals. You played inspired ball and spectacular defense. They could not have won the title without you. I'm happy you got your one ring because you've been through a lot in Boston. But don't get it twisted. You aren't better than:

Bean
The King
Timmy
CP3
D Wade
KG

And there would be a serious discussion whether you are better than the next tier of 10 or so superstars in the NBA. I know you feel like you can puff out your chest a little bit, but in the words of the Rock:

Game 1 can be pretty easily broken down. The Celtics dominated the boards and defensively clamped down on the Lakers and specifically Kobe Bryant in the second half. The Lakers played a very sound 1st half, but they made a crucial mistake when Paul Pierce got hurt. (More on that in a second.) They relaxed and allowed the Celtics, while Pierce was in the locker room, to believe they could win without him. So when he came back on the floor, they rode that energy to a victory.

Kobe has to play better. The Lakers as a whole played well until they started to miss a lot of open shots in the 4th quarter. The defense the Celtics are playing on Kobe is very similar, if not the same, to what they played on Lebron James. It is designed to force the other players to win games and frustrate the superstar into tough shots. You could see Kobe fighting the urge to go Kobe circa 2004. Overall he made some very pretty passes, but he seemed confused by the defense. Great players though make adjustments and I would not be shocked if we see a dominant performance in Game 2.

I have nothing against Paul Pierce and I am sure his knee is hurt, but if you get taken off the court in a wheelchair only to return a few minutes later then you couldn't have been as hurt as you were letting on. I don't think it was intentional and he played a very solid game, but please spare me the Willis Reed comments or how courageous and miraculous it was. It would have been miraculous if we find out tomorrow he has a blown ACL. Then I will be impressed. Don't over-blow something that shouldn't even be a story. He got a little scared overacted a bit realized it wasn't as bad as he first thought, came back on the floor and hit some threes. The story ends there.
