The Saints traded for Jeremy Shockey yesterday. I think most Saints fans are excited by this move. Saints tight ends have been inconsistent the last couple of years. Ernie Conwell had a good career with the Rams but never made an impact here. Eric Johnson had a good career with the 49ers but developed the dropsies here. I know three things about Jeremy Shockey. He's outspoken, he's injury-prone, and he can play. The Saints use an offense that is better suited to his skills and his temperament. I think it will work. We'll know soon. The Saints report to camp tomorrow.

There's a strong left-handed whip again by Pincay. He goes to it time and time again ... but Ronnie Turcotte has his whip put away and Secretariat has 'em put away.

Quote from said blog: "Repeating as Super Bowl champions is nearly impossible, but the Giants' chances dramatically improved Monday when they dumped Shockey, an All-Pro distraction, on the Saints."
