Shockey Taken to Hospital

From TMZ:

NFL star Jeremy Shockey was taken out of the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas by stretcher and taken to a nearby hospital.

Sources on the scene tell TMZ Shockey was at Rehab -- the ironic name of the Sunday pool party at the Hard Rock -- when he was found unconscious at around 2:00 PM. The call went out to the Las Vegas Fire Department and he was taken out via stretcher. Paramedics tried to cover him up so onlookers -- including a TV camera crew -- couldn't ID him.


There is no more information at this time. You don't want to speculate, but Shockey has had a history of poor decision making and immaturity. We'll see where this goes.


UPDATE: The New Orleans Times-Picayune has this:

New Orleans Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey was rushed to a hospital in Las Vegas on Sunday afternoon, team spokesman Greg Bensel confirmed. Bensel said the team has been told that Shockey is fine.


The article also says that Shockey was dehydrated, though it has not been confirmed. ESPN says that he was released from the hospital.
