Re: Saints, Jeremy Shockey found unconscious in Vegas taken to hospital
 

Man I was just reading an article about how athletes have to protect themselves and watch where they go. I really hope he's ok, but we need to find a way to get through to these guys without having annual examples of what can happen when things go wrong. On a side note it's looking more and more like all NFL players should avoid Vegas. Between Pacman, Levi Jones, Joey Porter, and now Shockey.

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

Re: Saints, Jeremy Shockey found unconscious in Vegas taken to hospital
 

I will say while living in Az and knowing that vegas weather is similar, it is very easy to become dehydrated. Sweat evaporates instantly and you dont even realize it. Glad to see this wasn't from irresponsible criminal behavior, you open these links and expect the worst.

Became dehydrated?? Maybe from getting hammered drunk in the desert sun all day long?? Shockey has always been a punk, and he's made no secret about being a booze hound. How ironic that the party he was attending was called "Rehab."

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.

I'm not hating on him just for the sake of hating on him. He's boys with the Maloof brothers and loves to party in Vegas. He's made no secret about liking the booze. Not to mention he just has a punk attitude in general. I don't like the guy and I have my reasons. It's not just for the sake it.

I never said he did anything wrong in this case. I have no issue with guys partying in the offseason. But anyone who thinks he was dehydrated from anything other than drinking heavily is pretty naive.

BTW, I've spent significant time at the beach (and on occasion drinking more than a beer or two at said beach), in the hot sun, and playing sports my whole life, and it's never really happened to me. Maybe to some degree, but not to the point where I've passed out and/or needed to be taken to the hospital. Shockey is a pro athlete and he played his college ball in Miami, one of the hottest college FB environments in the country. He knows damn well how to stay hydrated. Come on.

Play on words for the win!!!

Re: Saints, Jeremy Shockey found unconscious in Vegas taken to hospital
 

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...

Re: Saints, Jeremy Shockey found unconscious in Vegas taken to hospital
 

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

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

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 [I]carefully[/I] 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.

Re: Saints, Jeremy Shockey found unconscious in Vegas taken to hospital
 

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.

Re: Saints, Jeremy Shockey found unconscious in Vegas taken to hospital
 

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

[CENTER][B]REHAB[/B]

It's only for quitters...[/CENTER]

Well this was a non-story.

C'mon now, you're slamming Shockey for being an admitted booze hound? I got two words for you: John Riggins. Ever heard of him?

Dude, you have some real issues.

Why does everyone think I'm slamming him? I don't like the guy, sure. Read my posts. I said I have no problem with partying in the offseason.

My point is anyone who thinks his dehydration wasn't alcohol related is just being silly.

Re: Saints, Jeremy Shockey found unconscious in Vegas taken to hospital
 

There is a show about these pool parties and its none stop drinking from the minute it opens. Its called "Rehab" and the funny thing is I was watching the show this weekend as the rain came down. It seems on every show they have an issue with someone drinking too much or becoming dehydrated and they cart them out.

Re: Saints, Jeremy Shockey found unconscious in Vegas taken to hospital
 

Rosenhaus, being the stand up guy he is, doesn't think Shockey was drinking. Becuase guys that typically have 2-3 beer lunches don't ever drink at poolside parties in Vegas named "Rehab." :doh:

Re: Saints, Jeremy Shockey found unconscious in Vegas taken to hospital
 

Shockey got confused. Instead of "next question" Shockey was downing 'em and saying "next beer". Rosenhaus is a doofus.

Re: Saints, Jeremy Shockey found unconscious in Vegas taken to hospital
 

By the way...at the party Rehab...they have paramedics standing by for the people who get "dehydrated". I've never been to a party where paramedics are brought in to stand-by. I need to find one of these parties before I get too old to enjoy it.

Re: Saints, Jeremy Shockey found unconscious in Vegas taken to hospital
 

That's awesome. Glad he's okay, but that party he was at is no joke. My wife was watching a show about it a while back. It's like 2-3,000 people, almost looked like something out of a movie. No fat chicks, enough ladies to go around, and plenty of booze. They were saying the waitresses there make almost 2 G's a day just off tips. BALLIN!!!!.....Oh yeah, and the water is free.
