Everyone keeps talking about the guy like he's the next coming of Ozzie Newsome or Shannon Sharpe.

His best year was his rookie year. And that was a long time ago.

2. It is about "fit". And didn't you read the title of this post??? You think our head coach knows a little more (than us) about just how well Shockey will fit in New Orleans??

Maybe. But our head coach is still relatively new to the job. Also he really hasn't had to deal with any true player adversity.

I might have a different opinion if he had gone through some Chad Johnson/T.O. type drama before.

3. You're making huge assumptions about Shockey's attitude/makeup and how he will act when reporters "flock to Bush's locker"... Were you actually IN the locker room last season? Or do you just believe everything you read?

You know that you are talking about a guy that went on record after a game and said that his coach can't coach? I believe I threw in that link in a previous post.

Could you imagine the Shockey lockerroom press conference after losing the Tampa game on a truely stupid play last year?

And you want that possibility in our locker room?

4. I haven't heard Shockey throw anyone under the bus, all i've heard is that he wants to play for another team that he can be a bigger part of.

The very fact that he wants off the SuperBowl champions because he wants to be a bigger part of another team speaks volumes. More than I can ever say.

	Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
