Terrell Owens overdose...

Could be that the person he is closet to IS his publicity agent.

But all joking aside, I hope he is OK, gets better and plays. It much more fun to watch him play than listen to him.

All this concern about Owens, what about Glenn?


From the article: ""He was trying to cut some tape off his uniform," Parcells said. "He had his hand down in his pants and he missed. Fortunately he cut his hand." "

Looks like Glenn came close to clipping off his weasel. OUCH!

And MrAynRand, we need a new Cleft Crusty chat about now.

After Cliff's latest mooning over his recently departed love, Javon Walker, I could really use an antidote. Especially since, at least about the WR, I agree its a loss not easily recovered from.

If T2 fills that gap, it'll be a nice feather in his cap.

Police: Owens tried to kill himself

Cowboys WR taken to emergency room after overdosing on pain medication

DALLAS // Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens tried to kill himself by overdosing on pain medication, police said, even putting two more pills into his mouth after a friend intervened.

A Dallas police report released Wednesday morning said Owens told his friend "that he was depressed." Details of the report were first released by WFAA-TV.

The friend, who is not identified in the report, "noticed that (his) prescription pain medication was empty and observed (Owens) putting two pills in his mouth," the police report said.

The friend attempted to pry them out with her fingers, then was told by Owens that before this incident he'd taken only five of the 40 pain pills in the bottle he'd emptied.

Owens was asked by rescue workers "if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time (he) stated, `Yes.'"

Owens was hospitalized late Tuesday because of what his publicist said was an allergic reaction to pain medicine he was taking for a broken hand. Doctors reportedly tried to induce vomiting.

Owens is recovering from a broken right hand he hurt a week ago Sunday. He had an operation the next day to have a plate screwed in, enabling the bone to heal without being further injured. Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said last week that the pain medicine made Owens ill.

The Cowboys were off this past weekend and Owens was back at practice Tuesday, although he worked out on his own. Parcells said Owens' hand was improving and he was expected back on the practice field Wednesday. Owens chatted briefly with reporters in the locker room Tuesday afternoon and seemed fine.

Owens, one of the league's top receivers during his 11-year NFL career, is best known for wild stunts on the field and other publicity-seeking antics off it.

When the Cowboys signed him to a $25 million, three-year deal in March, they said their background checks indicated no red flags. In fact, team consultant Calvin Hill -- who mostly deals with troubled players -- said during training camp that his department was not involved with Owens because he didn't have a history of those kinds of problems.

Dallas police officials said they were planning a news conference Wednesday, but did not immediately release a time. A hospital spokeswoman said early Wednesday there was no patient registered as Terrell Owens, although federal privacy laws allow people to block their name from being released.

Owens' publicist and agent, and the Cowboys, did not return repeated calls from The Associated Press. No teammates or Cowboys officials were seen entering the hospital late Tuesday night.

The guy obviously has some major problems. I wish him the best in seeking help. Sad story indeed, whether you like him or hate him.

[Harlan Huckleby]

It's a confusing story. I'm going to reserve judgement about what happened for a while.

I completely agree.

[CaptainKickass]

I don't think we're really ever gonna know the truth about the situation, unless T.O. holds a press conference himself. The details are still a bit sketchy.

I'm gonna sit back and wait for more info.

Come on people, it was a marketing stunt designed and carefully orchestrated by Rosenwhore! He didn't down a bottle of pills. He chugged a pack of chiclets and then took two sleeping pills when his publicist showed up to give the impression that he tried to commit suicide.

Suicide? This coming from a guy that hid a sharpie in his sock during a game...

Sorry if I'm skeptical. There are many sides to every story and TO is pulling the "poor me" card to deflect attention away from his rash of injuries and inability to take the field on a consistent basis for the Cowboys.

His publicist is trying to spin this into a case where he just had a bad reaction to the pain medication and didn't know what he was saying when the paramedics asked if he was trying to hurt himself. ESPN is reporting he injested up to 35 of these pills. Sounds like a legetimate suicide attempt to me. In any case, it's hard to feel ANY sympathy for him. Everyone has problems, some more than others. He brought his on himself.

I feel sorry for him. He's got some problems if he has millions of dollars and feels the need to end it all.

You're a better man than me, Rastak.

[jack's smirking revenge]

Ok. Let's be real. Here's a millionaire who's been a media clown and attention whore for the last couple of years. He puts Meshawn to shame. He is the posterboy for the mercenary side of the NFL. He burns through teams like they're tropical rainforests.

If his suspected suicide attempt is legit, why does he deserve our sympathy? His whole world is all about him and what everyone else can do for him.

Yup, keeping up a facade takes a toll on anybody. Sure T.O. has money but he's under quite a pressure from the world and himself. I wish T.O. the best, now, and in the future.

Yeah, that was the most interesting bit from this episode. Questions arise, like:

What exactly did he have tapped up that he had his hands down his pants to remove that tape?

Just how big IS T Glenn?

Did he have it taped to his leg or just to his balls?

How often does he manscape that he can use tape down there?

Is this all related to the suicide? I think it just might be...
