Jeremy Shockey ruffling feathers

Carolina tight end Jeremy Shockey had a reason for his rather obnoxious (yet un-penalized) taunt after his touchdown reception on Sunday at Reliant Stadium.

He made the Texans pay for disrespecting America. Or so he says.

“Personally, myself, I was really upset they weren’t showing respect to America during the national anthem,” Shockey told the media. “There were about 10 players who didn’t put their arms across their chest. A couple of guys saw that. This is America.

“They should at least give respect to America,” he continued. “I haven’t seen it anywhere else in the NFL, but I don’t know how you forget to do something like that.”

Shockey told reporters he confronted the Texans about it, telling them, “You gotta respect America, man.”

Shockey scored on a 9-yard touchdown pass from Cam Newton in the second quarter. He broke tackles by DeMeco Ryans and Jason Allen to reach the end zone, then got in their faces and taunted them.

“It was a simple play,” Shockey told the media after the game. “And what’s the guys name? DeMario Ryans? DeMeco Ryans couldn’t make the play. It was an easy touchdown.”

It gave the Panthers a 14-0 lead in their 28-13 victory.

“They have a good defense,” Shockey said. “They’re playoff-bound for the first time in franchise history, but you’ve got to show respect to America.”

perhaps, but there is clearly a strong amount of mad in that article, esp with the use of "obnoxious" :D

He fought for that TD though so I'll take it.
