Shockey's Twitter War?


bLACKpANTHER

Recommended Posts

Not long after Jeremy Shockey's interest in returning to the Giants surfaced, a former teammate suggested Big Blue back off. "Bad teammate," former Giants receiver Amani Toomer said via Twitter. "Worse person." Not surprisingly, Toomer's harsh words sparked a brief Twitter war between him and the volatile, 32-year-old tight end. Shockey almost immediately fired back, accusing Toomer of causing the injury that ended Shockey's 2007 season and dredging up allegations made about Toomer during his 2007 divorce. ... In a direct response to Toomer, via Twitter, Shockey said "Go get a bucket of rocks and start throwing them at your glass house." Toomer's response: "Shockey thanks 4 proving my statment about u being a bad person."

I really don't know what to think of Shock after this whole ordeal with him wanting to go the Giants. Why would he play for them for the vet minimum but not us? He's a playmaker and I love the attitude he brings to the team but, you've got to question his loyalty.

I have issues with current/former players wanting to play for other teams other then the Panthers....When I heard Smitty wanted to leave I dumped 90% of my high end stuff. I'm at least happy that Hank Pimple butt got them lol..

When Pepppers pulled his poo I sold 95% of my Peppers collection...I dont regret that all.

For those who dont know what I'm talking about my rookie/auto football cards.

I mean that must be why, right? It just reminds me an awful lot of bandwagon fans buying Aints or Pats jersey after they win SBs.

I hope he stays just because it'd be good to have someone with some rings on the team. He's been to the big dance and can guide the younger players on what to expect when we get there. I don't think anyone else on the team has won one, have they?

I believe Shockey said it was just a rumor that he wanted to return to the Giants. Dont think it was true.

From Espn:

And on the idea that he wants to return, Shockey tweeted, "It's funny how the Ny media still try's to make money off me! Can anyone find a quote from me on me wanting to play for the GAINTS?"

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
