Who knew? Carolina Panthers tight end Jeremy Shockey made a life-saving move Monday afternoon in the teams lunchroom.

Shockey's teammate Ben Hartsock, also a tight end, was choking on a piece of pork and Shockey came to the rescue. After trying the Heimlich unsuccessfully, Shockey ended up hit Hartsock in the right place on his back, causing the meat to break free from Hartsock's throat.

Much respect to Shockey for doing what he did. Needless to say, Hartsock easily could have died from that and his teammate essentially saved his life. How can you not respect that.

Both players are trying to play it off, but it is a significant deal. We don't know if the two are close or not, but they will now, probably be bonded together forever.

According to the folks at TMZ, Shockey was at a party at "Rehab", the Pool at the Hard Rock Casino/Hotel in Vegas when he passed out. Though we don't know exactly if there was a medical condition that may have caused this, we have to ask "Does anyone else find a little irony in the title of where this happened?". Just askin'!
