Bavaro overwhelming choice at TE

PrintMark Bavaro absolutely crushed Jeremy Shockey in the voting for the tight end position on our Big Blue View All-Time Giants team, getting 130 votes (78%) to Shockey's 32 votes (19 percent). Bob Tucker got the other 3% of the vote.
I am not surprised by Bavaro winning this vote. I am a little surprised by the margin, though. I have to believe Shockey's current difficulties with the team cost him some support.
We will take a quick detour and vote on a coach next. Our man 'jrs' is working on a piece about the history of Giants coaches. When that is ready to go, I will post the poll for that.

Did you know?
Visanthe Shiancoe, who said he was going to be better than Jeremy Shockey, still plays with the Vikings. He’s not the only ex-Giant tight end still in the league. Dan Campbell plays for the Lions. Brian Kozlowski plays for the Redskins. And my favorite, Darnell Dinkins plays for the Browns.
Dinkins
was a guy Jim Fassel loved. I still can’t believe how much $$$ the Vikings wasted on Shiancoe. He’s nothing, really.

the Vikings
probably got a hold of my copy of Madden ‘05, where Shockey got hurt and Shiancoe became a pro bowl TE. That, or they are just a very poorly run franchise.
