Jeremy Shockey made a rare appearance at New York Giants voluntary offseason workouts this week, but the four-time Pro Bowl tight end cautioned not to read too much into it. "I'm glad I'm here and I enjoy it, but I hope people get used to it because next year it's going to be an issue again, and again the next year," he said.
Shockey has always taken the "voluntary" part of the Giants' offseason workout program to heart, and has been roundly criticized for following his own conditioning program at the University of Miami, where he played in 2000 and 2001.
This year, he decided to join the rest of the Giants, and on Friday responded to critics who have said he has placed his own priorities above the team's.
"It's a slap in my face that people don't think that I'm trying to do something that betters myself," Shockey said in a lengthy, mostly upbeat interview in front of his locker. "First things first. I have to improve myself if I'm going to improve this team. I'm not out drinking every night and going out. If I do, you'd better believe I'm working out the next day.
"As far as people questioning my character ... I play hurt, with broken bones, and I'm going to continue like that," he added. "It seems no matter what I do, it's not enough for people. I'm not here trying to make new friends, I'm here trying to help this team win."

I gotta go with Winslow. Shockey's a moron, but at least he hasn't completely sabotaged his entire career with his idiocy.

This kid Olsen seems to have broken the mold. I have yet to see him say or do anything really stupid yet. I'm shocked.

While sometimes you just want to slap Shockey after he says something stupid, this is a situation where the team can't win. After all it is 'voluntary.' I'm sure Shockey does work his butt off down there in Miami with the rest of the UofM alums (well, some of them graduated).
