Gymbo Knows

Jeremy Shockey is traded to the New Orleans Saints for a 2nd and 5th round pick.

So after all the crying Shockey finally gets his ticket out of New York. Shockey is a selfish player and I’m glad he’s gone. After the New York Giants make their magical run through the playoffs and win the Super Bowl, Shockey wants to leave. Some where a long the line something got planted in Shockey’s head that said “The Giants feel they are better without me, They won the Super Bowl without me.” So he acted on that and didn’t show up to hardly any of the Super Bowl celebration parties. Shockey didn’t go to the ring ceremony, victory parade, White House and whatever other victory banquets the team had to honor their historic season.

I feel Shockey was just jealous the team had all this success without him on the field. He was jealous he wasn’t winning the Super Bowl with the team. Shockey is a great player don’t get me wrong but he was wrong in this situation. He should of just enjoyed the run his team had and been there for all these celebration. Your actions speak louder then your words and Shockey sent the wrong message to the team, coaches and management. Shockey showed he was a bit jealous of the teams success and that shouldn’t of been the case. He should be happy for his teammates and not be just a ME guy.

With all that being said I feel the Giants got a solid deal for Shockey. They were able to get a 2nd and 5th round pick which will be very valuable picks to the team in next years NFL draft. The Giants can possibly use those picks as a negotiation tool and trade up in the draft or just make the picks. The only problem I have is that if they were going to do the deal, why didn’t they pull the trigger at this years draft. Then they would of had an extra 2 picks and that would of helped this years team. Other then that one minor complaint I think it was a great deal for both teams. If Shockey would of stayed around he would of been a major distraction from the Team and they would of had to answer silly questions about him all season long.

Will the Giants be alright without Shockey?

Eli Manning ran the offense fine without Shockey during their championship run and I feel he will do perfectly fine without Shockey the rest of his career. Now that all the major personalities are gone in New York (Tiki Barber, Jeremy Shockey, Michael Strahan) it is now truly Eli Mannings Team and he is going to handle it perfectly.

Boss has been a decent replacement for Shockey and played well on the Giants stretch run to the Super Bowl. Boss isn’t going to be that super star like Shockey but we don’t need him to be. He just needs to be Boss and the Giants will have a perfectly fine tight end.

Good bye to Shockey

I was at the freezing cold Giants vs Redskin game where Shockey broke his leg and a lot of Giants fans thought the season was over that night. Who would of thought they would of ended up Super Bowl Champions? Who would of thought that it would of been the last time Shockey would wear a Giants uniform? Its just crazy how things work out. I wish Shockey luck in the future but I hope the Giants kick his ass every time we play him for the rest of his career.

Here are my Top Five Favorite Kimbo Slice Fights of All Time.

1. Kimbo Slice vs Big D

This is one of the first Kimbo Slice fights I saw on the internet and is still on of my favorite Kimbo Slice fights of all time. In this fight Kimbo messes up Big D’s eye so bad it’s sickening. These underground fights made Kimbo an internet legend and would later lead to bigger things for Kimbo.

2. Kimbo Slice vs Tank Abbott

Kimbo had already beaten up former boxer Ray Mercer and MMA veteran Bo Cantrell in MMA bouts but now he was going up against MMA legend Tank Abbott. Tank Abbott may have been old and washed up but the guy is still Tank Abbott and he is skill a dangerous puncher. Kimbo dominates Tank Abbott and knocks him out. This was Kimbo first big MMA fight and it started putting him on the map as a legit MMA fighter.

3. Kimbo Slice vs Chico

Kimbo struggles a little bit early on in this fight versus Chico but he eventually finds his grove and finishes him off with some brutal hay makers. Chico walks away from this fight with a nice size cut over his eye. Chico was lucky he stopped when he did or his face probably would of ended up like Big D.

4. Kimbo Slice vs The Bouncer

The Bouncer is huge 300 plus lbs and he drops Kimbo early. Kimbo regroups quickly it was probably more of a slip rather then a knockdown, either way Kimbo drops him with uppercut shortly after. The Bouncer stays down on the ground for a while saying he doesn’t want to fight anymore but eventually he gets to his feet and receives another beating. Funny part after the fight they noticed the Bouncer lost a dread in the battle.

5. Kimbo Slice vs Dreads

You know that saying “The bigger they are the harder they fall” this fight is a perfect example of that. Kimbo drills Dreads with a uppercut and he crashes down to the payment like a load of bricks. That punch a lone put this fight into my top five favorite Kimbo fights.

Honorable Mentions: Kimbo Slice vs James Thompson, Kimbo Slice vs Bo Cantrell, Kimbo Slice vs Ray Mercer
