Sorry about that

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on May 16, 2011, 9:53 PM EDT

While he hasn’t tried professional soccer or riding a bull, Panthers tight end Jeremy Shockey found a unique sporting event to try during the lockout.

Shockey put together a team to compete in the Drambuie Pursuit race through the Scottish Highlands, according to Kelley Carter of ESPN.com. His group finished fourth out of ten during a 100 mile race that combines white-water rafting, kayaking, mountain climbing and dune-buggy racing.

The new Panthers player showed some impressive managerial skills overseas. He sat out the mountain climbing because he says he doesn’t have health insurance. (Smart.) He also picked three distance runners from Texas to join him on the team. (Smarter.)

As part of the event, Shockey donated $10,000 to the Heath Evans Foundation. Shockey planned to explore his heritage in Ireland for a while once he was done with the race.

He can probably stay past June third if he wants.

I'll always be glad to hear what Jeremy's up to. I'll always be grateful to him for what he did for our city and our Saints. Still love the guy. 'Right up there with Kyle Turley, in my book.

Agree, just wished we could have worked out something with him

SaintFanQ 05-17-2011 04:26 PM

Still can't get used to him not being a Saint anymore!

44Champs 05-17-2011 04:36 PM

does he not have health insurance because he's considered high-risk?

Luda34 05-17-2011 05:01 PM

As much as I love this guy I'm more worried about the guys thats still on this team and the guy's that want to be here sorry Shockey I wish the best I know he will do good with Panther's just want be going for you when you play us.

saintfan 05-17-2011 05:46 PM

I don't care who he's playing for. I'm always going to like Jeremy.

SapperSaint 05-18-2011 03:44 PM

I still haven't told my youngest daughter he doesn't play for us anymore. She still pimps around in here Shockey Jersey. She's going to be very sad, I just can't bring myself to break her heart.

Let her wear it. He'll always be a Saint to us.
By the way, my little girl didn't take it too well either. Besides Drew Brees, Jeremy Shockey was her favorite player.

What seed were the Browns in the playoffs?

Actually...I was never in favor of the Shockey trade...I didn't see the impact that he made on the Saints like others did...I mean he did have his moments but was injured half the time like in NY...and I don't feel like him leaving is going to be a big deal for us as we have young Graham to make everyone forget about JereME...at least those who need it.

bingo. walls is another strat but where did he originate? i say san fran without surfin.

skymike 05-24-2011 08:21 AM

san fran is correct, according to my memory.

Marlboro Man 05-30-2011 09:40 PM

I wonder why we couldn't renegotiate his deal so he could stay. I don't even know if we tried. Maybe he and Drew never really got along and were just putting up with each other for coach Payton's sake and his injuries and lack of playing time got the better of him.
