Giants screwed themselves
Sport Illustrated.com’s Peter King Monday Morning Quarterback Tuesday edition finally gave the full story of the saga that happened between the team, and former tight end Jeremy Shockey. After reading it one can only conclude that the divorce was soley that of the Giants.
The team dropped the ball completely in regards to Shockey.
First, the team made Shockey pay out of his own pocket for his flight to the Superbowl. While, letting other injured players in New York take the team charter in the middle of the week.
Second, the team put Shockey up in a separate hotel across town from the team.
Finally, the team never told Shockey about the parade.
Holy crap, what is up with all the stupidity coming from teams front offices. First, Packers general manager Ted Thompson nudge Farve into retirement, second Giants gm Jerry Reese treats Shockey like crap, and then Bills COO Russ Brandons decides to be a twelve year old girl, and not call left tackle Jason Peters, because Peters never called him asking for a new contract.
Seriously, how did these people get these jobs anyways?
Well now the Giants better hope that tight end Kevin Boss lasts a whole season, because they have nothing behind him.
Only time will tell if treating Shockey like crap will come to bite them in the rear.
