Former NY Giants star Plaxico Burress was sentenced to two years in federal prison for criminal possession of a weapon.

Right after Plax heard his sentence, the 32-year-old NFL star stood up and made a statement in front of the judge saying, "I apologize to my family ... I thank everyone for their support."

Plax accidentally shot himself in the leg in a NYC nightclub back in November 2008.

The gun was unlicensed and no one initially called police.
