Panthers tight end Ben Hartsock says teammate Jeremy Shockey saved his life. Hartsock credited Shockey with helping to save his life Monday after he choked on a piece of meat and couldn't breathe in the team's lunch room. "He started to go to the bathroom, and I don't know if he collapsed, but he couldn't breathe," 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.'"
