You know, This "team player" had to miss off season workouts for "Family issues". I wonder how his "family" problems are doing? You'll know whats up when the Saints start bringing in free agent tight ends next couple of weeks. Drew Brees was quoted recently as saying how he's getting to know his receivers and vice versa...he said that He's beginning to know where the receivers will be without looking at them and they're getting to know where the ball is going to be before they make their break, etc. He then was quoted as saying Shockey was "coming along". You read between the lines. The real fallacy is that good players get the breaks...unlike the two practice squad guys who were accosted by self righteous girls in a parking lot who took offense at them "completing the Nitrogen cycle" at 2:00am. They were cut from the team.
There is video of Shockey's "OD", now. I can't access the sites from work b/c they are blocked but I will try to post them later. There are many accounts that he crapped himself when the medics came to pick him up. I think he was mixing drugs. Maybe oxycontin and coke. Xanax and methadone. Something like that. This won't be the last time that he messes up. Sad story actually. I pray that he can turn it around, but I'm afraid that it's too late.
CS you were right!! According to a report by the entertainment web site TMZ, Shockey was found unconscious at around 2 p.m. Sunday at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas and was rushed by to a nearby hospital. Team spokesman Greg Bensel said Shockey was released later in the day. Sources at the hotel told TMZ that Shockey was at Rehab _ the name of the Sunday pool party at the Hard Rock. The call went out to the Las Vegas Fire Department, and he was taken out via stretcher. (excerpt from the Times Picayune) Rehab...of all things.
I've disliked this guy his entire playing career. Even though he's a saint now, it's hard to root for him and i don't. I hope he gets his life in order though.
I know there is a reality show based on the Rehab parties at the Hard Rock. I am sure he will be on the next season and they will blame it on the 122 degree weather like usual.

The Saints sh*t their pants when they traded for him, it's only fair that he return the favor. Great off season program he has going there, maybe that explains why he can't make it through a whole season.
