Good Lord, he splashed "a child" in the face with water. "Oh the humanities." Are we really to the place where this is news? I doubt he intentionally targeted the child. I've seen some of those crowds and the little darling's dad might just have been a loud fowl-mouthed jerk. While I'm not thrilled the child got wet, this is nothing about nothing.

He also flipped off a 49'er on the field after he failed to make a catch. I'm sure the announcers saw it, but they didn't dwell on it. The guy's a loose cannon, and will be more trouble for the Giants then he's worth. I'm almost certain that the lack of discipline the Giants showed at the end of the game can be traced back to what the management lets Shockey get away with. He's a complete prima donna.

It made news not only because of the splash but because an arrogant loud-mouthed showboat did the splashing. And while he probably didn't intentionally target a specific child, it wouldn't surprise me to know that he did in fact mean to hit the fans behind him. Of course, splashing water is still no big deal, but it is rather unusual for players to start chunking things at the people in the stands. :-)

The stupidest thing I saw him do yesterday was veer away from a sure touchdown simply to try to run through two defenders to prove he could. He didn't score on that play. They did score a couple plays later, but I wonder what his coach and teammates would've thought of that move if they hadn't?
