The Giants traded his ass to New Orleans for second and fifth-round Draft choices (should have got more) yesterday. Rumor has it that they tried to trade Shockey straight up to Miami for Taylor, but the Dolphins turned it down. Damn … Taylor would have been a great pickup at DE without Strahan.
But I got to keep it funky here … I like the move.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Shockey’s game. Dude’s extra physical, enjoys contact, draws double-teams, is too rugged for little safeties and corners and quicker than most linebackers. He’s also good at gaining yards after the catch.
But there are two things about him that stand out as much as his skills and that Giant eagle tatted on his arm: Shockey is often injured and he runs his damn mouth too, too much.
As good as dude is, SHOCKEY IS A DISTRACTION. His mere presence makes Eli Manning nervous out there. And Giants’ fans … you don’t want Eli being nervous out there. When Eli gets nervous out there, interceptions come plenty and he thinks back to the fact that he never saw a girl naked (until winning the Super Bowl).
It’s no coincidence that Eli led the Giants to the Super Bowl WITHOUT SHOCKEY ON THE FIELD. Second-year tight end Kevin Boss ain’t no Shockey, but HE WAS ON THE FIELD during the Giants’ Super Bowl win.
SOHH I’m sad to see Shockey go, but it’s for the better. Shockey’s presence will make N.O.’s offense easily one of the best in the L and his absence will create no more distractions in the Giants’ locker room.
But I’m going to throw the question to ya’ll: ARE THE GIANTS BETTER WITHOUT SHOCKEY!? DO YOU LIKE THE TRADE!?
With all the madness we've been hearing about A-Rod and Madonna, it's no surprise that the story was going to get crazier. It just has. There's wild rumors about there being a cameraman that has sleazy footage of Madonna Vogueing it up with A-Rod. Wow. I personally don't believe this ish. Do ya'll!? Is there a Madonna-A-Rod Sex Tape? Would ya'll cop it (if it were really out there)?
