Jeremy Shockey saves teammate’s life

Talk about having a teammate’s back… Carolina Panthers Ben Hartsock said his teammate and fellow veteran tight end Jeremy Shockey saved his life when he chocked on a piece of pork tenderloin.

According to the National Football Post, “He started to go to the bathroom, and I don’t know if he collapsed, but he couldn’t breathe,” Hartsock’s agent Mike McCartney said. “Some new guy came and tried to give him the Heimlich. It didn’t work. Then, Shockey hit him in the back pretty hard and out came the meat. The Panthers told me it was really scary.”

“He said to me a little while ago, ‘I really hope this doesn’t get out, but if it does, it’s going to be a funny story.’ “

Panthers center Ryan Kalil tweeted, “Reliable source telling me possible reality sports doc TV series coming to NC after today’s media presence covering Panther POTA’s.”

Already proclaiming himself as an entertainer and icon, Newton is no stranger to controversy, after reports surfaced that Newton accepted money to play college football at Auburn.
