So Jeremy Shockey continues to voice his displeasure about playing for the New York Giants.
Why should we care? Or better yet, why was he even brought back to New York to be so pissy?
Jeremy Shockey was injured late in the Giants season and replaced by an unproven rookie at his position. The result? The Giants won the Super Bowl.
So how can a man whose team won a championship WITHOUT him in the lineup, have the ego to complain? Shouldn’t he feel lucky to still have a job?
Today's Must Reads
After a startling rookie year, Jeremy Shockey seemed to lose his hunger. At first he seemed like the next Mark Bavaro, a human bulldozer. But over the next few seasons, he seemed content to make a catch and then either stumble or simply fall down. And after that, he would almost always leave the field as if to say “I’ve done enough.”
The answer to this is simple…trade the guy! Why would you want him back in the first place if we found someone who can do his job better than he can while keeping his mouth shut?
Though Shockey sounds unhappy now, if he does find a new team, he might miss New York. After all, where else would there be enough media attention for him to bitch and moan to?

I think your title is inappropriate. He does not suck. I have a problem with his unprofessional behavior.
I do not understand your statement about Shockey losing hunger. I would like you to elaborate.
I think one of Shockey's problems is his inability to stay healthy.
At first, I thought the Giants and Shockey could work things out. Unfortunately, he created this mess and not the Giants. Screaming at your boss, clearly, does not help matters.
The Giants are not going to give him away. Perhaps, Reese can patch things up. Otherwise, he may get what he wants: a ticket out of New York.

Shockey is a first class clown, and has always been.
I recall the game at Candlestick, in '02, playoffs between Niners and Giants.
Giants took a huge early lead in the game. Shockey, being the ass he aspires to be, was skipping around the stadium after a reception, gesturing at us fans, laughing, taunting.
What made our NFL record playoff comeback particularly sweet was Shockey dropping a pass in the end zone that would have won it for the Giants. Instead the Giants settled for a FG, never to score again.
To add to his "first class ass" bit, after the game, while leaving, he tossed a cup with ice at the fans, hitting a child in the face.
Loved that the Giants won with him on the bench.

well i dont know if Boss is better...but adequate. And to say that Shockey being out was the reason they won is incorrect. However, a trade needs to get done. He is too whiney for new york.
