did i hear mort say we are near a deal w/giants for shockey

How many of you anti-Shockey people wanted Greg Olsen in the first last year? Because that's flip-flopping. Our defense needed just as much help last year as it does this year, and our tight ends needed just as much help last year as they did this year. So not wanting to give up a #41 now for a proven beast who can do it all, while hoping for an unproven rookie who can't block at #27 is inconsistent and makes no sense. I understand Shockey's got attitude problems, but we cannot automatically pencil those in here. He may or may not be a troublemaker, so let's err on the side of optimism for once?

All that being said, I don't want Shockey if it's going to cost #41. But I also didn't want Olsen last year.

I guess what I'm saying is -- everyone make sure you're consistent with what you want, instead of looking for reasons to criticize what the front office MIGHT be doing.
