Jeremy Shockey Gets Punked (by teammate)

This Monday, Deadspin predicted that Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey would have to stir up the pot this season, with TO and Marcus Vick being good boys for the time being. It didn't take long for Deadspin's prediction to come to fruition. On Monday afternoon at Giants training camp we witnessed the funniest thing so far in this early NFL season. During practice Shockey was running a route downfield and when going up to catch a pass from Eli Manning, he received a nice elbow to the head from newly acquired safety Will Demps, and consequently suffered a minor concussion...Yesterday Demps came out and said there would be no apology, but rather, "It is what it is. It's a mild concussion. It's football."

By far the funniest part of this whole incident is the video of the play. Immediately after Demps hits Shockey, we see Demps gleefully jumping up and down, then high-fives Giant safety Gibril Wilson. All the meanwhile, Shockey is on the ground, concussed...Take a look for yourself.
