ESPN Report: Terrell Owens attempts suicide

Hooskins, I changed the thread title, because this story has completley changed since you posted it.

Good looks on changing the title. Surely a separate thread would have started.

Guys, if this is true, then I think this is no laughing matter. Let's back off the jokes until we know if he's full of scheisse or if it's as serious as initially reported.

Exactly. Depression is a very serious issue, and when you get so depressed that suicide seems like the best option then whatever jersey you wear or whatever team you root for is irrelevant

Don't worry, there's still time.

The over/under is 1 hour until another thread is posted.

Any takers?

This is all very serious, but it's hard to keep a straight face with all the hilarious new CP avatars...

Weird story. Didn't expect this kind of meltdown in Dallas.

I wonder how Jerry Jones feels this morning. I bet he wishes he could take a few pain-killers.

Seriously, though, T.O. needs some time off. T.O. needs a T.O. He's a danger to himself and he could be a danger to others.

whaa? how could someone who loves himself THAT much do that...

Because this is an amazingly selfish and self centered act.

That he failed suggests that he was TRYING TO GET ATTENTION as opposed to actually get the job done.

Yeah, i think we all expected TO would cause problems down there by doing something really selfish, but not this (if it's true).

thats wierd because TO stuck me as alot of things, but never depressed or suicidle. this is serious and i dont think it is appropriate to make jokes about this. if u do make jokes than your fucked up in the head. i personally enjoyed watching this man play. he made the games a little more fun.

its reported that he took 35 painkillers! they said he had only taken 5 before yesterday, and that last night the bottle was empty. so that means he took 35

That's true. Attempts with pills are usually considered as being almost more of a cry for help rather than an actual attempt to go through with it. That's not to say this isn't extremely serious.

My eyes are a little welled up with all the well-wishing in this thread.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't feel sympathetic for the F*cktard. I don't want to see him dead, of course, but could give a crap less if he wants to injure himself.
