Saints, Jeremy Shockey found unconscious in Vegas taken to hospital

It's not just for the sake it.



You mean it's not just for the sake (sɑːkeɪ) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sake) of it?

Play on words for the win!!!

I was just in vegas last week and the weather was about the same, I saw 3 people needing medical attention at the Mandalay Bay pool for what appeared to be dehydration.

It happens often...

Sure it could just be simple dehydration but most probably he was drunk.

New Orleans Saints' Jeremy Shockey treated, released from hospital - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4203459)

He was at a pool party at the Hard Rock Cafe casino with a bunch of other NFL players. He became dehydrated and he just got released and he's ok



The irony here is that he became dehydrated AT A POOL PARTY! There's plenty of water around. WTF? :D

:lol:

I'm no fan of Shockey, but seriously come on. Getting dehydrated happens to everyone. It's happened to me, and I'm sure anyone here that's spent any significant time at the beach, or in hot weather in general has had it happen to them. He didn't do anything wrong. He was just at a party, doing what people do at parties. Give the guy a break, don't hate on somebody just for the sake of hating on them.
What you say is true, it can happen to anybody. But....
Shockey is a professional athelete, and if ANYONE can identify the early signs of dehydration, it is an athete.

I think the Press release was carefully worded to avoid any public embarassment.

Yes I do believe he was dehydrated, but I believe he was probably "engaged in the partaking of adult beverages". I am not athelete, but even I know that alcohol in your system speeds up and enhances dehydration.

Lets do some math...1.In Vegas...2. At a party in Vegas...3. Shockey is an admitted party hound. 3. Its really hot in Vegas this time of year.

You cannot convince me that a person that is next to a swimming pool is going to get dehydrated while they are sober.

He had a few too many and passed out from dehydration. SO yeah you are right, it can happen to anybody.

I don't wish anyone to be hurt or hospitalized but big of a faggot is jeremy?? He is cocky as shit and he sucks I hate this guy and he would be the only tool to get dehydrated at a pool party

I realize he was probably drinking, but what I'm saying is who cares. He's over 21, its the offseason, he wasn't driving, and as far as we know he wasn't doing anything in the least bit reckless. It's like Matt Leinart beer bonging with a bunch of girls in a hot tub, he's doing it on his own time so I really don't care.

Also as far as I know, Shockey has been pretty well behaved (please correct me if I missed something) since he's been with the Saints.

Sure hope he wasn't wearing the tee shirt I saw out at a local shopping mall last weekend. It reads:

REHAB

It's only for quitters...

Well this was a non-story.
