Although that’s an insult to little girls worldwide.
Disgruntled New York Giants TE Jeremy Shockey and Super Bowl winning GM Jerry Reese got into a shouting match at the team’s minicamp this week, according to New York-area media reports.
Last week, Shockey whined that he was unhappy the Giants made him sit in co-owner Steve Tisch’s luxury box instead of letting him stay on the field during Super Bowl XLII.
He also said the Giants spread rumors he wanted a trade.
Shockey attended each day of the minicamp, but did not follow head coach Tom Coughlin’s order to join the team on the practice field, though all of the other injured Giants were out there, according to the New York Daily News.
“There is an issue, but it is not something that would prevent him from working,” Coughlin told the Bergen (NJ) County Record.
If you’re looking to be traded, screaming at your current boss is generally a bad idea. The pro football community is pretty small, and GM’s talk to each other on a daily basis.
Do all the absolute dirtbags in the NFL pick ‘scumbagent’ Drew Rosenhaus for the same reason?
Birds of a difficult feather most definitely flock together.
