New Orleans Saints defensive end Charles Grantand tight end Jeremy Shockey recently asked a federal judge to allow them to join a lawsuit seeking forced bankruptcy against Louisiana Film Studios LLC. The two Saints claimed that the studio owed them $510,000, $425,000 to Grant and $85,000 to Shockey. The claim was made at the center of an investment dispute involving current and players who used to wear saints jersey.
The studio CEO Wayne Read was accused of selling $1.9 million in state movie tax credits to 27 people, many with connections to the Saints, but he never applied for the credits or returned the money. Read said earlier this year that he will pay the money back once he finds other investors or obtains credits from a broker.

Shockey needs to justify Payton's choice
Saints Coach Sean Payton still believes that he is right in choosing Jeremy Shockey, although Shockey did not perform well last season.
"I like the player, and I think he's going to be a key part of what we do this year," Payton said last Wednesday. "We'll go from there. I think, in the end, it's always the proof is in the pudding anyway. For me, you just got to go with your gut on a decision like that."
"Last year, he was really hampered and he still managed (50) catches," Payton said. "I think he's healthy now. I see him after practice today with Drew Brees, after everyone is off the field, and the two of them are just working on routes. He's a very, very hard worker. He's going to be just fine."
Last year, Shockey had 50 catches (30 resulted in first downs) for 483 yards and no touchdowns, impacted by a sports hernia and ankle injuries. Payton just believes that as Shockey is full recovered now, he will prove his choice to be right.
