PALS of New York Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey reacted angrily on Saturday after a fan mouthed off to him. A spy who witnessed the violent incident said a group of Shockey’s friends beat up a man who snapped at him while he was enjoying a meal at Monty’s restaurant in South Beach. Shockey had come in after spending the day fishing and was minding his own business, our spy said, when the troublemaker approached him. “Jeremy was with a few friends, and to his credit he kept his cool,” we’re told. “But then, he gets up to go to the bathroom and we see chairs flying and the guy gets his butt kicked.” When Shockey came back he appeared as though “he was trying to break it up,” said the witness. “But not before he swipes the University of Miami hat off the head of the guy’s friend, telling him he’s a disgrace to the school. The guy who originally picked the fight with Shockey was arrested after running down Alton Road. Shockey’s friends rushed him out of the bar and onto a nearby boat.” A Monty’s manager confirmed that Shockey was there and an incident happened, but said, “We don’t talk about people’s problems.” The Giants’ office did not return repeated calls.
