Shockey points finger at Giants
Jeremy Shockey does not sound like a happy camper. And the disgruntled tight end might not make it to the Giants' minicamp on Wednesday. Making his first public comments since breaking his leg last December, a defensive Shockey pointed the finger at the Giants for all the offseason speculation about his future and reported unhappiness. And, perhaps indicating a rift with the only pro team he has ever played for, Shockey left the question of whether he would attend the mandatory minicamp up in the air. "Unlike the Giants, I am going to be quiet. They have released multiple things about myself, and if you look back into the media (reports), there is always a source. Well, I would like to know who the source is. I haven't said one negative thing towards the Giants in the newspapers," he said.

Wasn't there a Giants fan on here claiming that there woudn't be any discord in the Giants camp, that this kind of thing only happens to the Cowboys?
HOOAH05!

talented guy-
but not a good guy
Never comes to off-seaon workouts, berets the QB..........they won without him
I would try and get ANYTHING for him.....if not CUT HIM....send a message that attitude won't be tolerated

Good thing you aren't a GM, jgb.
And when has Shockey showed up for camp not in shape?
Oh, and it's berates, unless you think he makes Eli wear a beret under his helmet.

He's not going to play in the mini-camp anyway.
Maybe he should go talk to his "friends" that keep acting as his mouthpiece.
Just another unhappy Drew Rosenhaus customer whose team holds all the trump cards.

What have the giants said ? except to admit, that teams have made offers for him. Shockey needs to put the blame for all the negetive words toward him where it belongs, The media !
The real reason for shockeys misplaced angst is a dissatisfaction with his contract which pays him about half of what other TE's in the same talent level are getting. But unfortunately the gnts hold all the cards when it comes to a player under contract. So, maybe he feels the only way to get an increase is to play the wounded soldier, hold out for "other reasons" and hope the gnts will try to mend his broken feelings with cash....just an idea.

Possibly true, DK.
But there was a lot of stuff leaked out about him, and you don't know for sure what the source was.
And now apparently he was pissed that he wasn't allowed on the sidelines during the SB, while all this time people were trashing him because he wasn't.
I'm not sure all the fault lies with him.

He catches grief when he doesn't talk, he catches grief when he does talk.
Sound like anyone else we know?

I thought his actions at the superbowl said it all. Is he with his team in street clothes? no. He is wearing a plaid cap sitting in the stands with his friends. Good tight end, maybe great, lousy teammate, total tool. When he went down, I thought the Giants were done done done. I was wrong wrong wrong. With a bit more money and a change of scenery he might get right....I just kinda doubt it.

Shockey sucks. Loud mouth 3rd rate tight end. If I was a Giants fan, I would want him traded in a second.

Well you may want to read the NY Post today. Apparently Shockey went to the SB with the intention of sitting on the sidelines and only right before the game was he told he couldn't be there. He's pissed about that and rightly so.

Now, Buford, you know it doesn't matter what the truth is to some people, only what they read in the media can be the actual truth. If it wasn't the truth it wouldn't get reported that way, right? (Please add heavy sarcasm to this post).

Who needs him? Cranky ol' diva. Ragging on Eli, skipping workouts, acting like a Delta House frat boy on the field. If they didn't need you for the Super Bowl, they don't need you now.

Team,.............. that word is a foreign language for many of today's coddled "superstars", who become legends in their own minds.
they won, without him, and without the BS he brings as baggage. The attitude will not get him where he wants to be.
