ESPN Report: Terrell Owens attempts suicide

I have to admit the only reason I even care about this story is the fantasy implications on my team.

I'm not saying I wish the man harm, but I really can't believe the gushing I'm seeing over this guy. I mean, this is the same guy that has caused nothing but problems for any franchise stupid enough to give him a contract right? This is the same guy who called his QB (Garcia) gay right? The same guy that routinely shows up his QBs on the field? The same guy that called out McNabb (a "teammate")? The same guy that has been a locker room cancer everywhere he's been? Honestly, I just don't see any reason why I should care about T.O. any more than the thousands of other people in this world that try committing suicide every day. If anything, shouldn't I care less about T.O.? After all, T.O. has proven time and time again that he's a jackass.

I don't know, I guess I'm just a heartless bastard.

some of you are stupid asses..... a player you can hate, but this is still a human.......

Yah, a human who in his "human" capacity has been a jackass for years. I guess his transgressions against other "humans" are all forgiven because of this?

The people who project themselves as the most happy, comfortable, and confident are very often the ones that are hiding insecurities; just because T.O. is a football player doesn't mean it's any different. I still don't see why so many people hold a grudge. This whole idea that since he has amazing ability, he should use it and not waste it or do whatever he wants with it. I guess T.O. isn't a real person. He's just a robot that should go out on the field regardless of what he's thinking and play football, whether he enjoys it or not.

Just remember this sort of thing happens every day: an individual that appears so confident or egotistical, who appears so happy with his life, who seems like nothing can hurt it, can be totally crying on the inside. Evaluate that with other people that you might hate who seem that way, and maybe you can see how sad it all is.

WE as people always look at Celebrities and throw away any thoughts of their well being. I do it all the time. I mean really, how many times do you take the time to really consider Russel Crowe's mental health? Or how about Darrell Green's? Its almost an assumption

The story grows, and is now in SI:

SI.com - NFL - Terrell Owens attempted suicide, according to police report - Wednesday September 27, 2006 11:25AM (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/football/nfl/09/27/owens.report/index.html?cnn=yes)

I prefer to believe no one here wished this on T. O. It appears from these reports that the man needs help.

Yah, a human who in his "human" capacity has been a jackass for years. I guess his transgressions against other "humans" are all forgiven because of this?

What trangrassions?? And yes, if there are transgressions isn't he worthy of forgiveness?

And this isn't directed at you per se, PSU...but why are we suddenly judging T.O. Especially since we don't know the whole story. But whatever.

That makes more sense. I'm getting my news from Elliot in the Morning, so it's not the most reliable of all time.

meast, I have no idea what that means ... but for some reason it made me laugh :)

I'll tell you when I stop crying

As a player, I hope he can't suit up for the Cowboys for a long time.

As a person, I can't say I'm glad he tried to kill himself because I'm not a psycho, but I sure as hell am not sorry about it. I could give two craps if that dude lives or dies. That's the God's honest truth.
