Jeremy Shockey For Jason Taylor Trade?

Legendary New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan retired last week after playing 15-seasons in the National Football League. Strahan’s retirement leaves the Big Blue with a void on their defensive line and some have speculated that the Giants may attempt to fill that space by negotiating a trade with the Miami Dolphins for their DE Jason Taylor. To attain one of People magazine’s “Most Beautiful People” of 2008, New York would allegedly send their disgruntled tight end, Jeremy Shockey, 27, to South Beach for Taylor, 33.

 

In brief, there is a better chance that the Pope will cozy-up in a synagogue than there is of a Shockey for Taylor exchange actually transpiring. In 2003, Shockey was quoted in New York Magazine as calling the Dolphins Executive Vice President of Football Operations, Bill Parcells, a “homo” and a “quitter.”

 

Parcells may be able to survive being labeled a “quitter.” But, the Big Tuna will never forgive Shockey for questioning his sexuality (especially now that he runs a team that wears pink and teal). Jeremy Shockey will probably not play for the New York Giants this year. But, rest assured, he won’t be paying for the Florida Flamingos either.
