TMZ has obtained these photos of Shockey at “Rehab” (the ironically named pool at the Hard Rock), right before he went down.

Breaking news from Las Vegas tonight, as Saints TE Jeremy Shockey was rushed to the hospital and treated for dehydration, after passing out at pool party at the Hard Rock Hotel earlier this afternoon.

From NOLA.com:

According to a report by the entertainment Web site TMZ, Shockey was found unconscious at around 2 p.m. at the Hard Rock Hotel and taken to a nearby hospital.

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.

Paramedics tried to cover him up so onlookers — including a TV camera crew — couldn’t ID him.

A spokesman for the Saints said that Shockey was treated for hydration and released, and is apparently “in good shape”.

It’s good to hear that he’s okay, but Shockey is clearly not it good off-season partying shape.  There are strict guidelines that go along with daytime drinking to maximize party longevity, and allow you to make it to the real party later that night.  I mean … 2pm, dude?!?  Come on!!!  Unless he was up from the previous night partying with Vegas strippers and hadn’t slept at all (which is a very real possibility), there’s just no excuse for passing out that early.  I hope somebody at least wrote on his face before they carted him out of there.

J.V. move, Jeremy.  J.V.
