The Final Score

From Hall of Famer Michael Schmidt's excellent NY Times piece about NY City's tough gun laws:

Another advocate happens to be a New York-based professional player, although he works for the Jets, not the Giants. In 2007, several members of the Jets recorded public service announcements on behalf of Bloomberg. Among them was safety Kerry Rhodes, who trumpeted the new gun law.

“Football is my passion and my life,” Rhodes said in the recording. “Every guy in this league works hard to stay off the sidelines. Did you know that carrying a loaded illegal gun will now get you a minimum of three and a half years in prison? And just like on the football field, there are no excuses, do-overs, ifs, ands or buts. Don’t get sidelined; don’t carry an illegal gun.”
