Friday’s Giants News
You know when a sports story is big when the New York Times writes 4 articles about one game. They’ve been doing it all week, and all of the normal sports papers in New York have been blasting out material like Tom Brady throws another TD pass to Randy Moss…in actuality, it’s even more than that. You get my point. Enjoy.

TOM’S PLAYING PATRIOT GAMES - I hate when the media overdoes a story. Brady already said that he would have to be in a stretcher not to play. So the media already has the guys word.

Feeling bad for Shockey - I really don’t feel bad for Shockey. I love how he’s a force to be wreckon with on offense just like Jacobs. My problems with Shockey have to deal with calling out the team on television after the Seattle game. And more importantly, Shockey needs to practice in New Jersey with Eli Manning. They need to get on the same page because Jeremy drops a ton of passes. He’s not a force on the field until he completes the pass. Shockey isn’t the only one that trains in Miami, he has one or two other Giants with him which is even worse. The thing that bothers me more than Jeremy’s desire to practicing in Miami is that the Giants allow it.
