The Facts:
The Giants' off-season program is in its second week and Shockey remains a no-show. He's working out at the University of Miami, where for a few weeks one of his partners was Plaxico Burress. "He thinks he's more of a competitor than I am, he and I have been going at it the past two or three weeks," Burress said of his new teammate. "He was one of the reasons I wanted to play here. He's the type of people I want to be surrounded with, guys who want to compete and want to win. He's kind of the epitome of that."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Maybe so, but Tom Coughlin won't take kindly to Shockey's decision to stay apart from the team. For the record, the program is "voluntary," so no fines can be levied. Shockey last season led the Giants with 61 receptions and six touchdown catches but was often frustrated by the increased blocking assignments he was given and his role within the offense.
