NFL receiver Plaxico Burress has been sentenced to two years in prison in a hearing in New York this morning. The former Giants receiver began serving the sentence immediately. Burress was accompanied by his wife, son and father to the hearing this morning. He pleaded guilty to a weapons charge last month stemming from an incident in which he suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a Manhattan nightclub in November. Burress' sentence includes two years of supervised release. He could be eligible to leave prison after 20 months. Burress, cut by the Giants in April, has indicated he wants to return to the NFL after his prison sentence. He will be 34 when the 2011 season starts.
