Wonder if he all of a sudden realized what a dick he is.

DALLAS -- Flamboyant Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens tried to kill himself by overdosing on pain medication, even putting two more pills into his mouth after a friend intervened.
A Dallas police report released Wednesday morning said Owens told his friend "that he was depressed." Details of the report were first released by WFAA-TV.
The friend, who is not identified in the report, "noticed that (his) prescription pain medication was empty and observed (Owens) putting two pills in his mouth," the police report said.
The friend attempted to pry them out with her fingers, then was told by Owens that before this incident he'd taken only five of the 40 pain pills in the bottle he'd emptied. Owens was asked by rescue workers "if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time (he) stated, 'Yes."'
Owens was hospitalized late Tuesday because of what his publicist said was an allergic reaction to pain medicine he was taking for a broken hand. Doctors reportedly tried to induce vomiting.

Owens is recovering from a broken right hand he hurt a week ago Sunday. He had an operation the next day to have a plate screwed in, enabling the bone to heal without being further injured. Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said last week that the pain medicine made Owens ill.
The Cowboys were off this past weekend and Owens was back at practice Tuesday, although he worked out on his own. Parcells said Owens' hand was improving and he was expected back on the practice field Wednesday. Owens chatted briefly with reporters in the locker room Tuesday afternoon and seemed fine.
Owens, one of the league's top receivers during his 11-year NFL career, is best known for wild stunts on the field and other publicity-seeking antics off it.
When the Cowboys signed him to a $25 million, three-year deal in March, they said their background checks indicated no red flags. In fact, team consultant Calvin Hill -- who mostly deals with troubled players -- said during training camp that his department was not involved with Owens because he didn't have a history of those kinds of problems.
Dallas police officials said they were planning a news conference later Monday, but did not immediately release a time. A hospital spokeswoman said early Wednesday there was no patient registered as Terrell Owens, although federal privacy laws allow people to block their name from being released.
Owens' publicist and agent, and the Cowboys, did not return repeated calls from the Associated Press. No teammates or Cowboys officials were seen entering the hospital late Tuesday night.

If he really wanted to kill himself, he wouldn't have swallowed the pills in front of others. Think he was faking the 'off-cycle' blues?

Unfortunately, for you, it does not seem like it.

Poor Bill Parcells. It looks like they went over his head when they signed Owens. He needs to be released ASAP. He's a distraction who's past his prime anyway. He's run afoul of 2 teams already---3 if you count the Ravens mess---and he's pretty close with this one.
Then he'll be free to overdose until his heart's content. |

Typical celebrity. I have no respect for celebrities, be they pro sports stars or actors. People obsessed with bling bling should all die anyway. |

Right. Colored folk shouldn't be allowed to have feelings. |

Owens is the biggest a-hole in the NFL-bar none! No one comes close except for maybe AL DAVIS!
As a Broncos fan, I'm glad he chose Dallas over Denver! Plummer has enough on his hands with the fans of the team that Elway built! Imagine T.O getting into his head...
Jerry Jones can keep that son of a biatch...I expect he'll end up playing for the Ottawa Roughriders in 2010...if he's alive by then! |
