This was just announced on Mike & the Mad Dog. I don't like this at all. Yeah, Shockey was a pain, but for all his problems, he's an explosive player. This sucks, and now Jason Taylor's on the Redskins...dammit.

He's a big, injured crybaby. Good riddance. Now maybe the 'boys can beat the Giants.

What did the Giants get in return?

A second and fifth round draft pick.

I am not a happy man right now.....

uPtoWnNY said:

In any of the games I've seen at Giants stadium live, Shockey was nothing but a pain in the ass. He drops balls he should catch. They don't need him in order to win another super bowl. g'bye to bad rubbish.

WHAT. EVER!

We all know that the RAIDERS are gonna win the World Cup this year!!!

That's more that what the Dolphins got for Taylor (2nd & 6th).

Peace out! Dude hasn't contributed much for at least three seasons.

JerseyKRS said:

A lot of that has to do with coaching. Shockey was more of a receiver(like Gonzalez) under Fassel. He's had to do more blocking under Coughlin, which he wasn't happy about. He felt it led to his injuries.

Say what you want about Shockey, he's a gamebreaker - someone the defense has to be aware of. Can you say that about Kevin Boss?

uPtoWnNY said:

he never really showed up for big games, I wanted to love him, but I just couldn't.

I'm still keeping my Shockey jersey. I'll miss #80. Just hope this trade doesn't come back to haunt us if the Giants and Saints meet in the playoffs.

uPtoWnNY said:

he was not a game breaker at all. see my above comments. do you know how many touchdown passes he dropped...alot!. interesting that Eli won a superbowl, and the giants won alot of games, once Jeremy was out injured. Boss is going to be a good replacement. Jeremy was about show, not substance.

Give Shockey his due....894, 535, 666, 891, 623, 619 receiving yards in each of his six seasons. Boss has some pretty big shoes to fill.

How can you be so on-the-money in sports, yet TOTALLY miss the greatness that is Night Ranger?

RodeoSchro said:

I dunno. . . maybe if I had some real estate tycoon take these damn houses off my hands I could see the genius that is Night Ranger.

SCNDLS said:

Did you get a chance to talk to Rick, Maze's drummer?

Did I ever tell you how I met him? He runs the shoeshine stand in front of the Wells Fargo Plaza. I used to work for WFC, and Rick would be gone for periods of time. I was afraid he was sick.

So I asked him one day and he said, "Nah, I just go on tour sometimes". Then he told me the rest, and I almost fell off the stand! Nice guy.

RodeoSchro said:

No I didn't get a chance to meet them after the show. I'm not a huge fan, they seem so "dated" to me. But that disco band sho turned it out.

RenHoek said:

And the Super Bowl! lol

RodeoSchro said:

Giants won't win another SuperBowl for twenty years or so.
That whole division is going to suck again. 9-7 should win it going away.

Almost time. NFL. Still into Summer, though.

SUPRMAN said:

That may be the funniest thing I've read on here in a long time. Do you know the last time a record that bad won the NFC East?


















Never.

I know. I hate this time of the year when I'm in sports limbo.

Shame about Shockey. He's, under the best of circumstances, an X factor in a game. Yeah, he's a baby, but so are Moss, Porter... Raiders alumni...

The Raiders are going to surprise a lot of people, this season... all jokes aside.

Good riddance to him, and I'm not anything remotely close to a Giants fan. I would never want such a total assclown on my team!

SCNDLS said:

Yeah..... But it's coming soon.

Seattle starts camp next Friday.July 25

Then preseason opener at The Vikings. August 8

The defending Super Bowl champions start this week, unfortunately without the Shockster.


GO GIANTS!!!!!

But since the 16 game schedule the division winner has gone 10-6 six times plus 10-5-1. So it could happen. That just one field goal, or fumble difference.
I see everybody being just good enough and nobody great. Dallas should win the division and should win at least 11 games, but I think they'll get surprised by Cleveland and lose division road games.

SUPRMAN said:

dallas is winning nothing but 3rd place

ThreadBare said:

Yes!!!!
Even though they were 4-12 they were playing much better ball.
The defense is going to win a few games. If the offense can put up 24 the Raiders should win the game. They could easily be the most improved record.
I still think Walker is a question mark, even if Vegas had never happened.
And Shields is looking like that was a wasted fourth round pick. I have no idea who wanted him and why.
