SHOCKEY! SHOCKEY! SHOCKEY! Oooh, loogit! It's the failed white Dennis Rodman. Hopefully, Shockey has been able to stay hydrated while in camp. Not that it will matter, given that Billy Miller will probably end up taking 80% of all snaps. Between Shockey and Reggie Bush, the Saints have quite a collection of players that are well known but not terribly good. (Fun prediction: Pierre Thomas runs for 1,300 yards and 12 TD's.)
We had a good chuckle at this yesterday and were reminded of it again today when we read the following account from today's Saints-Texans practice.
Houston's DeMeco Ryans was guarding TE Jeremy Shockey on a passing route. His fists were full of jersey and Shockey wasn't very keen on the idea of being held.
So, with his right arm, he swung behind his back and hit Ryans in the head.
Well, Ryans didn't like this, you see, and walked up to Shockey and began barking in his face.
Then he pushed Shockey and the melee was on.
While the world awaits Poochie's Tweeter Tube commentary let us take this moment to look forward to a hypothetical crucial moment later this season where this sort of behavior might be the factor which decides whether or not the Saints make the playoffs. Sort of like say this moment from 2001 featuring Poochie's spiritual predecessor.
Looking on the bright side, the odds are still pretty good that said hypothetical crucial moment will come during one of the 6-8 games that Shockey sits out with a stubbed toe or Goldschlager hangover or something.
