Look at that two puns in one title. Easy puns that I don't even have to think all that much about make me happy. Almost happy enough to make me forget how sad, and three seconds later mad, I was when I heard (well to be more accurate read) that the Giants traded Jeremy Shockey. And then to realize not for any particular player but for a 2nd round and a 5th round draft pick. Automatically that annoyed me. I realize that draft picks are great but I don't care about next years draft picks going into this season. I want a return on our trades NOW. But if it will help us in the future I suppose I can get over it. But then 2nd and 5th rounds? Shockey is at least worth one 1st round! He's a first round draft pick himself and as far as his playing skills go, I don't think I've ever heard anyone in the organization say "Boy I wish we'd never drafted him." Of course now I'm reading that we're better off without him (which I choose not to believe and intend to stay bitter about the trade at least until something comes along to distract me) and a couple he-wanted-to-leave articles. If the latter is indeed the case, I am happy that he received what he wanted. Either way, I wish him well in all his future endeavors-except when playing the G-Men. :)
