Well, that was fast . . . Natalia Sokolova (see post below) just e-mailed to report that the injured Jeremy Shockey has been replaced by Larry Fitzgerald and Marion Barber III as hosts for her New Year's Eve party in Hell's Kitchen. (Tickets start at $100 and benefit the Jack Brewer Foundation.) Fitzgerald's season will be over then, and Barber will be just starting his bye week, so . . ...

I just got some unfortunate news from my e-mail pal, former Playboy Playmate Natalia Sokolova. (That's her in the picture, demonstrating her dual interests in football and adult beverages.) She relayed the development that Jeremy Shockey will be unable to co-host her New Year's Eve party in Hell's Kitchen because of the broken leg and ankle damage he suffered Sunday. Presumably it would ...

OK, it seems to me that you guys have been itching to talk about Jeremy Shockey ever since he got hurt Sunday night. So, let's do that. This is an open Jeremy Shockey thread. Below is a series of Shockey-related questions. Answer or comment on whichever ones you want. Or, if I didn't ask about something you would like to interject, go right ahead. 1. Let's get this one out of the way ...

Simple, one and done. No, but seriously, this team does have the capabilities and the personnel to advance in the playoffs. We have seen this defense shut down offenses, and we have seen this offense click on several drives. But we have also seen the inconsistent play from the offense since Week 8. With the huge injuries to Derrick Ward, Mathias Kiwanuka, and now Jeremy Shockey, the ...

The Minnessota Vikings beat the Chicago Bears 20-13. Down 13-6 after the half, the Vikings tightened up and outscored the Bears 14-0 in the second half. Minnesotta sits at 8-6 on the season and is in the thick of the wild card race. With the Giants losing Jeremy Shockey to a broken leg, the Vikings [...]

The NFC playoff picture is rounding into form. Looks like GB will either play Tampa, Giants, Minny, or Seattle. I'm rooting for whatever scenario that brings the Giants to Lambeau. That team is a greasefire. I really, really can't see Eli leading a playoff win on the road, let alone at Curly. Plus, potential Packer-killer Jeremy Shockey just busted his stick. I really don't want anything to do

The Giants, losers Sunday night to the Redskins at home, made it official on Monday, placing tight end Jeremy Shockey on injured reserve with a fractured left fibula. Add to that Shockey also hurt his ankle, and will have to undergo surgery later in the week according to the team. “Any time with a player of that quality, to lose him at any time during the season - it is a huge ...

Kevin Boss: With Jeremy Shockey out for the year, Boss is now the Giants' starting tight end. Boss had two catches for 31 yards and a score Sunday night. Visit RotoWire.com for more analysis on this update.

Jeremy Shockey was carted off the field with 10:59 left in the third quarter last night with a fractured fibula in his left leg. His season is over, which might be worse news than the way the Giants played in...

Plaxico Burress (ankle/knee) is listed as questionable vs Washington. Aaron Ross (hamstring) is listed as probable vs Washington. Gibril Wilson (knee) is doubtful vs Washington.

John Clayton just reported on ESPN that Jeremy Shockey (stomach) is still out with abdominal pain. Clayton said, “his stomach is still bothering him to the point where he is not sure if he is going to go.” I don’t think Shockey will miss the game on Sunday and can’t imagine that he will though Clayton’s [...]

Plaxico Burress (ankle) missed practice again Thursday but is expected to start. Jeremy Shockey didn’t practice Thursday because of an abdominal strain. Michael Strahan (rest) returned to practice Thursday and will start. For the second straight day both starting safeties, James Butler (hamstring) and Gibril Wilson (knee), sat out of practice. Backup Craig Dahl (ankle), who didn’t [...]

Injury Report Update: NEW YORK J. Shockey - DNP (abdominal strain). He’ll probably play, but hopefully not like last week… A-Ross - L (hamstring). He’ll play, but TC will probably limit him vs. Washington Stray - Practiced. I think he took the day off yesterday to get ready to maul Heyer on national TV. He’s fine. Plax - DNP (ankle, knee). You know the ...

It certainly has been a volatile season for the New York Giants, but somehow despite all of Eli Manning’s interceptions the G-men find themselves sitting pretty at 9-4 in the easy NFC. Considering how poorly some of the other big apple teams are playing, specifically the Jets and the Knicks, the Giants are currently the toast of the town. But maybe this whole 9-4 (wow how are they ...
