Thankfully, Shockey is rarin’ to go

with one comment

Never say we’re not sensitive.

News of Greater Ada native Jeremy Shockey’s recent hospitalization in Las Vegas tore at our heartstrings. We were shocked (see what I did there) to learn that Shockey was found unconcious on Sunday, in the middle of the afternoon, at a Hard Rock Casino pool party called “Rehab” (#irony). The New Orleans tight end was suffering from “exhaustion,” according to a Saints rep, likely the same kind of “exhaustion” we all feel after ordering just one more Cuba Libre immediatley after the table changes dealers and some middle-aged Hong Kong woman deals you another goddamned 16.

Im exhausted just watching him.

I'm exhausted just watching him.

Shockey, who has long been known as a mentor, role model for children and all-around damned fine citizen is apparently getting better and is “rarin to go.”

    “He’s doing fine, ” (Shockey’s agent Drew) Rosenhaus said Tuesday. “You guys will see him next week. If I have anything to add, I’ll call you back.”

    Rosenhaus hung up before fielding additional questions.

We at TaW are so happy, we’re a little verklempt.
