I’ll give him credit, sometimes Jeremy Shockey does use Facebook to make a meaningful and positive connection with his fans, and I’m sure his 60,000+ Facebook followers appreciate the effort. Of course, other times he uses Facebook to:

A.) Speak in code (“Cngrts to mickelson.. good 1st tourny back for tiger”)

B.) Play with young girls hearts

Here’s that wall post from Friday that’s both stirring up conversation and embarrassing videos alike:

Ok LADIES heres the contest.. Post a video on the “just fans” section of my fbk fan page explaining why u deserve to have me take u on a date 1 nite this offseason… Contest ends sun night 4/18 at 8pm est… Lets have fun w this so be creative but just be careful its not too inappropriate where fbk deletes it!! good luck!!!

So far, of those 60,000 fans but three ladies have taken him up on this and posted videos. Two are almost unwatchable. The third is :18 seconds of a woman snowboarding in a bikini. She never actually defines herself as a contest entry. She might just be crazy.

With encouragement starting to trickle out from the bloggers – MJD writes, “Good luck, too, to the father out there who receives the following phone call: “Daddy, guess what?! I just won an internet contest to go out on a date with Jeremy Shockey!” – entries should start to pick up.

They had the white get-ups with the red sashes. They had the ole ole ole chants. But in lieu of available bulls, they went with roller girls equipped with whiffle ball bats.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — It’s the running of the bulls, New Orleans style.

Hundreds of men, women and children, most in white with red scarves around their waists and red bandannas around their necks, gathered outside a French Quarter bar Saturday morning to be chased down Bourbon Street by members of New Orleans’ roller derby league.

Oh. Hell.Yeah.

During the first half of that video, I was like “who is wielding a chainsaw on bourbon street right now?” And then the Elvis impersonators showed up on their motor scooters.

“The energy of the runners was electric” Mudflap Girl observed. “It was a truly amazing feeling that hundreds of people were stoked that we were there, and stoked to have their azzes whupped by us!!

(I lifted that insight from the Big Easy Roller Girls blog… I could never with good conscience take credit for the use of the term azz (pl.))
