From Awe to Shock-By Willie Mariano for Football Reporters Online 7/30/08
He was heralded as the next greatest tight end in Giants football history, if not NFL history. With his golden boy looks and massive physique he made his rookie debut in a stadium next door to where only the best of the best are enshrined. Although it was only a pre-season game, he showed the brilliance and toughness that was anticipated by all from the day the Giants drafted him way back in 2002.
Now, after six years of mostly under achieving and untimely injuries the bad boy out of Miami University is now a Saint. Please do not get me wrong folks; I was the first one on the bandwagon when he arrived for opening day 2002 in Albany. He is a player that every team in the NFL would love to have on their roster. He is tough as nails with the ability to change a game by making either a highlight reel catch or a bone-crushing block that springs his running back for a touchdown. Let's just say Jeremy Shockey plays football the way it's supposed to be played! The way it's meant to be played! He plays the game 100 mph each and every play. Leaving everything on the field, win or lose, "On Any Given Sunday." One could safely say today that as a football player he is second to none but as a man there is room for much improvement to say the least. As we witnessed more times than I care to count, his childish outbursts and arm waving antics made his own quarterback weak at the knees easier than the biggest defensive lineman in the league could ever do.
In closing I must admit what I'm sure most of you reading this will agree. You could never replace a four time pro bowler unless that pro bowler's childhood antics outshines his abilities and shows up his teammates.
If I could speak for all Giants fans, the awe we all had that rookie pre-season night in Canton, Ohio could not make up for the shock of seeing him disrupt a whole football team. This was proven when his season ended prematurely for the fourth year in a row. Allowing Eli and the boys to go on the most amazing run through the playoffs in NFL history and reaching every players dream while becoming a championship football TEAM. To coin the phrase there is no "I" in team, but unfortunately we all know now that there is one in Shockie. As a matter of fact there's one in the word "SaintsE2 also. So, enjoy your time on Bourbon Street Jeremy, until we meet again.

So Long LaMont, who else is coming ta join ya?
LaMont Jordan Released
Slavica Milosevska
July 25, 2008
Even though 29 year-old LaMont Jordan could not get signed to another team, the Oakland Raiders released him Friday, July 25 2008. In June, Jordan was not required to take part in the obligatory minicamp or in the actual training camp that is coming up.
Jordan was playing beautifully until his back injury in the 2007 season. Last year, Jordan rushed 424 yards in the first four games, which was the second highest in the overall league. However, in the forth game's first half, he wounded his back detracting his abilities?
In his first season with the Raiders, Jordan rushed 1,025 yards, caught 70 passes and made 11 touchdowns. Playing a total of 97 games with the Jets and the Raiders, he has rushed 3,285 yards and achieved 24 touchdowns.
This year Jordan's salary would have been $4.7 million then $5 million the following year. Currently, he is not comparable to his fellow teammates like Darren McFadden, Justin Fargas or Michael Bush that are able to combat. Regardless, this is football, and it is unfairness. That’s the name of the game.
