twitterNew Orleans Saint Jeremy Shockey collapses at Las Vegas pool
Monday, May 25, 2009 | 1:42 p.m.
New Orleans Saint Jeremy Shockey was rushed to a Las Vegas hospital Sunday afternoon after he collapsed by the pool at the Hard Rock Hotel.
The 2002 Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year was taken to hospital after apparently partying a little too hard at the resort’s popular Sunday afternoon pool party, Rehab.
The 28-year-old tight end had reportedly been drinking with other NFL players prior to his collapse.
Shockey was taken to hospital after he was found unconscious at approximately 2 p.m. Attending paramedics had to use a stretcher to remove the 250-pound, 6-foot-5-inch football player.
New Orleans Saints spokesman Greg Bensel said the four-time Pro Bowl player was simply dehydrated and has since been released from hospital and is doing fine.
The Hard Rock Hotel did not immediately return calls to comment.

If it looks like an idiot, talks like an idiot, and drinks like an idiot, it is indeed an idiot.
Cignettis, I bet people say the same thing about you. This is the time of year people start getting a little stupid on the heat and alcohol it happens to everybody not just him.
Funny, by, that it happened to a loudmouth football player who has probably seen his best days long gone. He'll be a distant memory soon, and this event foreshadows his future. Another sad jock going downhill fast...
Cignettis, that is some funny stuff. I agree with you wholeheartely. And being an idiot drinking in the hot sun doesn't happen to everybody, countrygirlinlasvegas! What kind of people are you hanging with?
This guy is one of the biggest, most obnoxious people out there. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. How do I know, I dealt to him when I lived out there.
Maybe he needs to stay away from "Rehab" and go to rehab.
