Jeremy Shockey, You've Just Been Punk'd

The Giants Jeremy Shockey had a little surprise waiting for him when he put on his practice gloves yesterday. No, it wasn't anything disgusting or in poor taste, but it was enough to send the hot-tempered tight end off the deep end.

"Dead man walking," Shockey warned.

So, what in the world could it have been? If you guessed unwashable purple dye that banks use to mark their money, then you'd be right. And the fact that Shockey won't be able to get it off for days make it that much funnier.

The question now becomes, who is going to pay the consequences for a few days worth of chuckles? The usual suspect is guard Rich Seubert, who spends training camp fighting with people on the field and playing pranks on them off of it.

"Everyone thinks it's me," said Seubert, who offered "a cash reward" to anyone who revealed the mastermind behind the purple hand. "I think it was the ballboys. They're all getting dumped in the cold tub."

Shockey may be mad now, but when he cools off, hopefully he'll be able to admit that it was a good prank. Kudos to the unnamed Giant for doing something so hilarious, yet so daring.
