Terrell Owens Suicide Attempt - September 27, 2006

Meds can have a very adverse reaction like that, especially if he was on a narcotic. What he was on could have easily effected his mood and even sent him into a depression.

I really don't think this is a laughing matter or a time to do anything but hope that he has a quick and complete recovery.

Cable News is on the story now. This is going to be huge.

Even if it turns out to be completely false it will still be huge. They sound the emergency broadcast system alarm when TO sneezes, so this is going to be insane.

If that's the case the guy has serious, serious issues. Bigger than we could have imagined.

The motive is irrelevant, let's just hope the guy can get things straightened out.

I don't see what could be false at this point. EMS reported he was still trying to stuff pills in his mouth after they arrived. They had to wrestle the pills away.

I feel bad for T.O. ... he's so confused ... I hope he gets the help he needs.

That makes two of us. This wouldn't be the first time the media has jumped all over a story only to find out it wasn't true.

Point it - it doesn't matter. Media gets its story either way.

I just heard on the radio that he's already been released from the hospital. I find it kind of hard to believe that they'd already let him go home if he took that many pain pills, even if they did pump his stomach. I would think that they'd want to keep him for at least a day or two just for observations. But I'm not a doctor, so who knows.

I just heard that, too. That puts in more in the "cry for attention" than "cry for help" book, IMO.

I think he's being transferred actually. But I'm not sure

You should know better - you have to have faith in the doctors, just like the coaches. Doctors know what's best, so drop the shorts and bend over.

Very true, and I do feel for the guy if he truly is that depressed. It's very sad that he has so many gifts yet he is so tormented and unhappy. He has been very self-destructive and that is a clear sign that he has been depressed for a long time.
