06:38 AM ET 10.13 | Jeremy Shockey told the New Orleans Times-Picayune in yesterday's editions that he had a "bitter taste in my mouth," from his Giants days. "It's just something that if you cross me once - it's hard enough to gain my trust as it is - and if you lie to me and if you say something behind closed doors between that person and myself ... "I needed change in my life," he said. He had a blowup with GM Jerry Reese during a minicamp in June of '08 and that made it impossible for him to return.

He ran himself out of town and he has the bitter taste in his mouth? Grow up Jeremy! And enjoy the current ride. The Saints have a great team and can make noise this year.

Very inmature... I wonder is the success of the Giants weighing on his mind these days...

Move on.... It's what you wanted anyway, remember?

Shockey is an idiot. He had it made in NY, then got himself run out of town. Now he's with another SB contender, and he's still running his mouth. Here's a novel idea Jeremy...Shut up and play football.

"I needed change in my life," he said...

He needed to be a good teammate, which he wasn't. Hope he's proud of his ring.

Well, we already knew he had a mouth, right? It's showdown week in New Orleans to see if you can put your money in the same place.

I am certainly hoping Mr. Pierce has an opportunity to reacquaint himself with Mr. Shockey...

Something tells me, Shockey isn't at all on the Giants mind, like they are on his.

Talk is cheap - play the game.

I agree. I bet Number 9 is who they're worried about.

Yep... No one in NY even gives Shockey a second thought.

Hope this game is on the tube down here... With the Cowboys off, it's the game I'm most interested in.

For real! Bye-weeks force you to find the interesting/entertaining game. I agree, this is it.

Who?

October 13, 2009  08:29 AM ET

This is a guy who never went to the teams OTAs. He said he worked out on his own in Miami, then he is injured most of his time with the Giants.
It was no coincidence they won a Wuperbowl without him. He is a talent-yes. But he felt he was bigger than the team.
He is not missed.

October 13, 2009  08:29 AM ET

LOL...That would be Superbowl..... I like that though, wuperbowl.....

October 13, 2009  08:32 AM ET

Maybe Shockey and Tiki Barber can get together for a pity party and compare bare fingers where their super-bowl rings coulda-shoulda-woulda been.

Shockey please focus on the game and not running your mouth! I need you to come through for me this weekend on my fantasy team.

Shockey should worry more about having to go to the hospital for "exhaustion" in Vegas and less about Jerry Reese.
