I'm upset. ...
I just found out that the Giants traded Jeremy Shockey to the Saints for a 2nd and 5th Round pick. It's a nice trade for the Giants (based solely on draft pick value) but I'm upset about it.
How would you feel when one of your favorite players gets traded? He's a big time player and when he's healthy - like for those 5 games...5 years ago - he's one of the best tight ends in the game. I know he was a distraction, but the Giants didn't make themselves better today. In the end, all the team did was trade Shockey because they believed that his negatives outweighed his positives.
Sure, he's a baby.
Sure, he whines ALL THE TIME.
Sure, in the offseason, he refused to train in NJ, instead preferring to stay with his hot chackitas in Miami....
Sure, he would have been a distraction to the team throughout training camp and probably for the season.
Sure, all of it would have hurt the team's chances to repeat.
Sure, there's plenty of reasons that the Giants should have traded Shockey, but that doesn't make me happy about it today.
I knew it was going to happen eventually..sort of like a terminal relative who you know is going to pass away. When it happens though, it doesn't make it hurt any less.
Does this mean I have to burn his jersey? Jesus. ...

No just color the jersey black and gold, biatch....and it starts now...strahan retiring, shockey's exit....whats funny is NO was offering the same thing in a 3-team deal where the giants receive jason taylor (who the redskins just picked up) and miami receives the draft picks. They would have solved their defensive end issues....i do like what ive been hearing about your rookie safety phillips... tho...but this a veteran's league...
For all his shit, dude did have 59 TD's in 7 seasons which is pretty damn solid....pro-bowler, tough, great blocker...I think the G-men made a big mistake, is Chris Snee the truth and the light now? lol..if they had made the trade before the draft they could have gotten a tight end and defensive lineman with those same two picks...this year.
