Jeremy Shockey, still trying to get back to form following a broken leg, will NOT travel to Glendale, Arizona.

Ralph Vacchiano of the NY Daily News reports on his blog:

Quote:

It looks like TE Jeremy Shockey will not be joining the Giants here, after all. His teammates have pleaded with him, and he even received personal invites from TEs coach Mike Pope and several others in the organization. But in the end, he apparently was worried about wandering through the crowds on crutches. He also didn’t want to be a distraction.

Asked how he’s handling not being at the Super Bowl with his team, Pope said Shockey “is devastated.”

Shockey, by the way, sent an inspirational message to his teammates, which is now hanging on their locker room wall. More on that later.

That has to be one tough pill to swallow.

Interesting. I can see him wanting to protect the leg, not wanting to re-injure it. But yeah, it's got to be tough...

How is he going to hurt his leg by watching the Super Bowl?
