Terrell Owens overdose...

[Guiness]

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.

And what in the world would T.O. holding a press conference reveal? Certainly not the truth

I print here for your perusal the answers T.O. will give to the 7 question he's asked at his next press conference:


T.O. : "Next Question"
T.O. : "Next Question"
T.O. : "Next Question"
T.O. : "Next Question"
T.O. : "Next Question"
T.O. : "Next Question"
T.O. : "Next Question"
T.O. : "Later"

[ahaha]

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.

I completely agree.

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.

The guy had so many options. He brought all this pressure on himself. What did he think was going to happen when he consistently critisized teamates and berated coaches on the sidelines? Did he really think the public would be on his side when he demanded more money after two years into his contract? If he couldn't handle being the "bad guy", he could just retire to a peaceful life, out of the public eye, with all his money. People would forget and leave him alone. This suicide attempt, IMO, just seems cowardly. BOO HOO for Terrell Owens.
Does he deserve help? Sure, he's obviously screwed up in the head. Sympathy? Not from me.

If not cowardly, then at very least a louder cry for attention....

it's a zoo. who do i believe: ESPN which reports on how TO's tuna salad sandwich tasted, or the publicisit, who works for an apparently now depressed clown

Definately. If he truly, utterly, down the last fiber of his being, wanted to die, he would have picked a more effecient way of accomplishing it...blowing his brains out with a gun or jumping off of a high rise building.

Or there's always the Rotten.com fave of downing a bottle of Drano...

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.

Hit the nail on the head. I don't buy this one bit.

Dallas Morning News has the police report and it says the dude attempted suicide and based on what I've read, it sure sounds like he did.

[Astonishment]

TO is supposed to hold a press confrence around 2:30 eastern, and he has already been released from the Hospital. This is obviouslly strange if he did attempt suicide. The story is getting stranger by the moment.

[MJZiggy]

Most people on suicide watches pass a little bit of time in the psych ward on a suicide watch before they are allowed to be released. Either there is something fishy going on here or the NFL has become such a meat market that they will disregard the well-being of the human being in order to get the piece of meat back on the field. I hope it's the former.

Ras,

I don't imagine it being too hard to "fake" a suicide and get a police report stating you attempted it. Who are they to tell you if you did or did not attempt to commit suicide if you say you did. Therefore, my guess is that is what he told them and they wrote it down assuming he was telling the truth.

I don't buy this at all. TO has pulled too much stuff before. If this is valid, I don't think he'd be making a news conference yet or be out of the hospital yet. For starters, any committed attempt is required by law (at least in Wisconsin) to be under 24 hours of hospital surveilance. I have a hard time believing texas law differs to such an extreme.

Unless he is doing this interview from his hospital bed, something isn't quite right here and I'd look at what I was reading with a cynical eye.

24 hours is required by law, at least in Wisconsin.

[KYPack]

This guy has issues.

Do you really believe this is a publicity stunt?

What could anybody gain from publicity like this?

I don't like TO either, but this is a troubled soul. This man needs help. He's probably a danger to others at this point, hell, he's willing to offfhimself, what does he care about other people?

This goes beyond just football, this cat needs some big time medical assistance.
