The good news is that Jeremy Shockey was able to walk to an ambulance under his own power after experiencing seizure-like symptoms during a weight training session on Thursday.
Still, the incident sounded pretty scary for those who saw it.
One player, talking anonymously to Brian Allee-Walsh of New Orleans.com, described the scene this way:
“It was a little scary; it looked like maybe a mild seizure or a full
body cramp or something. There were a decent amount
of guys in the weight room at the time,” the player said. “At first nobody really knew
what was going on, but the trainers took control of the situation after a
while.
“He was shaking and everything, and he was basically out of it for
probably a minute or so, but it seemed longer. After he started coming
back everything was pretty much all right. He seemed aware and
everything seemed OK after a while. He got up and was walking around.”
It’s not fair to draw many conclusions from this account. We’re sure the Saints and Shockey will do everything possible to uncover why this happened, and whether it has anything to do with his hospitalization last year in Las Vegas for dehydration.

homo shockey was picturing bill parcells naked and so excited he blacked out
years of South Fla cocaine will do that
Wow…Hope hes ok and if he needs help ..I hope he gets it.
How far is the weight room from the showers?
Could have been accidental exposure to shampoo!
To quell the inevitable drug rumors, Shockey issued a statement saying “It was merely a case of Delerium Tremens”.
sounds like some bunk blow… shockey is the biggest scumbag in sports
Did anybody think to do an inventory on the drug locker?
They should take one of his 2 rings away, eli carried the giants on his back that year while shockey held a clipboard on the sidelines… Seizure? should have been shot
‘Roids + Drugs + Alcohol + Lifting = Seizure
Damn Gurp….Get a grip
I don’t like Shockey one bit, I think he’s a class A asshole.
Having said that, I hope they figure out what’s wrong with him soon, and he gets better.
It sure sounds like Epilepsy to me.
Wow what restraint on PFT’s part.
@TryTheVeal
i dont give a flying fu*k about the guy!
“Get a grip”? thats what i say to ur moms
Give him some Vicoden, I’m sure Sean Payton has some to spare.
Shockey says on his official Facebook page that he is okay and there’s no need for worry.
every single poster bringing up roids or drugs with this story is a pedophile with a -1 inch pee pee.
New Orleans Saints Superbowl 44 CHAMPIONS!!!
-Why do you ponder passing?
-X marks the spot!
Bet it’s a result of concussions:

Just wishing him the very best.
Nobody deserves this type of deal.

BINGO!
He also made te comment, “The last time that happened, my ass hurt for a week.”
Dats how the ‘Aints roll.
Jeez, you people making light of Shockey’s health issues should get castrated so your obviously pathetic genes don’t further dilute humanity’s gene pool. Hahahahah, he had a seizure. Yeah, that’s real funny. Morons!
Franchise, the Aints are dead b–ch. The SAINTS are SUPERBOWL 44 CHAMPIONS.
Hey Franchise what place did your team come in last year?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
One word:
Vicodin
i agree with joe. shockey is epileptic.
Lifting weights equals maximum blood pressure so a mini-stroke would get my vote. Whatever it is, it is not good.
