Soon to be demanding that you throw him some beads and the ball

As first reported by the freshly shorn Jay Glazer at FoxSports (thats right, suck it Mort!), the New York Giants have cured cancer and dumped the oft over presumptuous Jeremy Shockey and his tattoos of freedom on the New Orleans Saints.  Shockey became expendable since the emergence of Kevin Boss during the Giants Super bowl run.  It also didnt help that Shockey apparently hates Eli Manning…  Which is good because the place he is moving to reveres the entire Manning family as some sort of lesser diety…on a level somewhere between Huey Long and Cowboy Mouth.  It should all work out quite well.

That being said, this, assuming Shockey can come back from injury, it is a bold move by the Saints.  Sean Payton has been searching for an impact tight end to compliment his offensive stockpile ever since he got to New Orleans.  Shockey will give his offense that extra dimension it needs and the lockeroom has plenty of veterans (namely Brees and Deuce) that wont put up with any of Shockey’s shit.  Beyond the excitement of Saints coaches, players, and fans, the big winner in this may be the “professional models” in the Quarter.  Shockey, a noted cocksman, has never been afraid to darken the doors of such establishments…not that theres a thing wrong with it.
