We knew he was screwed up but this is sad. The bad part is I cannot stand the endless TO blabber in sports news as it is. Now, it might as well be the TO network.

Cowboys | Owens' publicist says he did not attempt suicide
Wed, 27 Sep 2006 08:33:10 -0700

Updating an ongoing storyline, ESPN's Ed Werder reports Dallas Cowboys WR Terrell Owens' publicist said Owens did not try to attempt suicide. His publicist said Owens was groggy when asked questions by the first response unit and there was a miscommunication because he of it. During a press conference, the Dallas Police Department would not confirm or deny Owens attempting suicide. The Cowboys have called a press conference for the afternoon to discuss the situation. Owens has already been ruled out for the team's Week 4 game.

----as the world turns...
one part fits to me... people that "attempt" suicide are desperate for attention. People that commit suicide are legitimately depressed or bear some psychosis.

Thank god you can't stand the endless TO blabber. I'd hate to see how many posts there'd be otherwise.

Now they are trying to say he had adverse affects from taking supplements and pain killers.....can you say...........COVER-UP??? Is Edwin Edwards running the publicity portion of this fiasco....

Some people just don't react well to prescription pain medication. But, having said that, it is really hard to OD if you've taken just a couple. And it's not usual for people to take additional, even way too many pills, if the pain from the first several pills has reduced the intensity. Taking the whole bottle is not the act of a person who is in control of his/her life.

Too bad for TO, but wake me if he dies, otherwise, don't persist with this story.
