Remember all the contributions that Jeremy Shockey made to the New York Giants during their playoff run? Oh, that’s right. Dude was laid up with a broken leg before his team won the Super Bowl without him.
So where does he get off acting like such an asshat? Read more…
• WITH LEATHER slams down rumors of Ashley Massaro, a WWE Diva that TMZ claims has been grappling with opponents outside the ring while working for an escort service.
• Speaking of the squared circle, THE SPORTS HERNIA catches Dancing fool Jason Taylor showing off more wrestling moves.
• WALKOFF WALK has pics and BUGS &CRANKS have video of Jennifer Anniston & Owen Wilson dogging it during a Marlins game.
• Remember that kid who had been wearing a Brett Favre jersey for the past 4 years? Well, YOU BEEN BLINDED follows up that the boy has finally shed the shirt.
Is Jeremy Shockey on his way to the Pacific Northwest? No way, Jose. The SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER reports that the Seahawks have denied a report in the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS that they were one of the teams interested in acquiring the Giants’ injured tight end.
Too bad. Shockey was such a joy to watch last time he was in Seattle.
Lang Whitaker over at SI.COM has assembled a quick list of some of the worst tattoos in pro sports.
Notably absent from the list: everyone else with a tattoo. Unless you were in the service or did time, your tats are lame. Read more…
We offer evidence of another pumped-up day in the world of sports:
• Topps shows what a bunch of cards they are by inserting Rudy Guiliani into the Red Sox’s World Series celebration:
• HBO is cancelling “Inside The NFL”, denying us the chance to see more manic Marino tantrums.
• Jeremy Shockey has better things to do than attend some silly Super Bowl parade.
• Terrelle Pryor said he wouldn’t choose his school on Wednesday, but others are trying to make the choice for him.
• Pedro Martinez & Juan Marichal do enjoy themselves a good cockfight:

• True to his word, Shaq doesn’t let Steve Nash down.
• Like the SEC gals and Big East boys, the Green Bay Packers experience their own teleconferencing fun.
• ESPN needs to hire a spellchecker for the “PTI” graphics guys.
The NEW YORK DAILY NEWS reports that Jeremy Shockey didn’t show for the Giants’ victory parade yesterday. But the NYDN did fail to report though that the event cut into Shockey’s beard-growing schedule, so his absence is completely understandable.
There’s two things that could going on with Shockey. He doesn’t want to be at a celebration where he’s not the center of attention. Or he doesn’t want to participate in the parade and have the perception that he’s distracting from the real heroes of the Giants Super Bowl victory.
We pick the former. We’d like to think the Giants would dump him in a trade in the offseason but that’s probably not going to happen, because of his rep as a malcontent and his injury. We would imagine though that next season he’ll be piping down in the huddle a little more often.
News worth repeating, now that your Giant hangover should be gone by now:
• Amani Toomer will have to go somewhere else for fun, now that the Pats’ victory parties are off.
• Although he watched from somewhere other than his team’s sideline, Jeremy Shockey sooth-sees a Giants repeat - as stated in a FHM spread from 2003.
• Best wishes to ESPN NFL reporter Len Pasquarelli, who had heart surgery last weekend.
• Phil Mickelson was having too much fun at the FBR Open to go to the Big Game, so he gave his tickets away.
• Tom Petty tries to one-up Prince in phallic halftime show symbolism.
• SI’s Arash Markazi breaks down all the Super Bowl parties you weren’t allowed to attend. Sadly though, Heidi Montag’s rack wasn’t ranked.
• Michael Vick will get to keep almost $20 million in bonus money from the Falcons. That’s an awful lot of prison cigarettes.
• Been hankering to see that “Perfectville” spot with Mercury Morris & the ‘72 Dolphins crew? Who hasn’t?!
Jeremy Shockey was profiled in some sort of photo essay by FHM back in 2003, which we discovered in an image search today. This was when he was riding high for winning the rookie of the year award, and riding high for riding Vida Guerra at the time.
2008 is Shockey’s seventh year in the league, so Giants fans can rest their heads tonight knowing that next season is already in good hands.
Full image of the photo essay is after the jump.
Our favorite image of the Super Bowl telecast was a shot of Jeremy Shockey sitting in the suites, with a wide assortment of fruit-flavored alcoholic beverages sitting in front of him. Why wouldn’t he want to be on the sidelines with his teammates? Hmmm.
We don’t know why we take pleasure in Shockey completely missing out on the game and the glory. But we’re probably not alone.
So what was a bigger upset, the Giants win, or Troy Aikman saying absolutely nothing interesting or insightful for 3+ hours. Can you imagine being stuck on a Southwest flight to Tucson next to the guy? Read more…
