Are we doing with Shockey what we did last year...

I just don't see this deal getting done.

Everything out of NYG seems as if JS will still be a Giant at the start of the year. I dunno...just my way of thinking.

Wow Guys.
Think inside the "Fishbowl" for a sec'.
New York is the "Fishbowl".
EVERYTHING is magnified there.
Media hype can make a player seem to be more than he is.
ESPN plays up everything "New York".
Duh! They are the largest media market in the world.
It is natural to think everything New York is great.
Including J Shockey's talent.
Is he the best out there?
Imagine Gates, Gonzales or Heap playing in New York.
Pause.....
JS is very talented.
Remember that the perception of a player's talent is MAGNIFIED when viewed in the "Fishbowl".

Without Shockey, we're a top five offense this year.

With Shockey, we're a top five offense all time.

Preach preacher!!!
