T.O. TRIED SUICIDE

Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens was hospitalized on Tuesday night not due to an allergic reaction to medication, but because he tried to commit suicide.

Several media outlets are reporting the news. According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, a Dallas police report says that Owens "ingested a large amount of prescription medication." The report also states that, when police asked Owens if he attempted to harm himself, he said yes.

Report: T.O. attempted suicide
09:18 AM CDT on Wednesday, September 27, 2006
By TODD ARCHER / The Dallas Morning News

Dallas Cowboys star receiver Terrell Owens swallowed prescription pain medication Tuesday night in an apparent attempt to commit suicide, according to a Dallas Police Department report released Wednesday morning.

The police report says the complainant, identified as Owens, “stated that he was depressed” and that he had emptied a bottle of pain pills and was trying to harm himself, the report said.

According to the report, a woman who was with Owens saw him put two pills in her mouth, and she tried to get them out. She also said he had filled a prescription for 40 pain pills on Sept. 18, and taken only five through Tuesday, the report said.

Under questioning, Owens said he had taken the remainder of the prescription. He was described as having “ingested unknown large quantity of RX pain medication,” and was transported to Baylor University Medical Center for a drug overdose.

According to KTVT-TV, doctors treated him by attempting to induce vomiting.

A Dallas Police Department spokesman said in a prepared statement that he was unable to provide information about the incident but a briefing was planned for later today.

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said late Tuesday he was unaware of Owens’ trip to the hospital, and Owens’ agent, Drew Rosenhaus, and publicist, Kim Etheridge, could not be reached for comment.

Last week, according to Cowboys coach Bill Parcells, Owens had a reaction to the pain medicine he was given following surgery in which a plate was inserted into his right hand to stabilize a fractured fourth metacarpal. Parcells said Owens became ill and could not work out, but he was improved the next day.

On Tuesday, Owens did not speak with the media, but he appeared to be in good spirits.

He continued conditioning work on the side with associate trainer Britt Brown and caught passes. He was wearing gloves and had his ring and middle fingers on his right hand taped together.

Earlier Tuesday, Parcells said Owens would practice some today and he had not ruled Owens out from playing Sunday at Tennessee. Owens was wearing a bone growth simulator Tuesday to help the healing process. According to Parcells, the swelling in Owens’ hand had gone down, and the biggest challenge for Owens would be handling the pain of catching passes.

“I have to see him out there being a confident player,” Parcells said. “I don’t want him out there thinking about something. If it’s going act as a deterrent, I don’t want that because that would eventually hurt us. But if he can get to the point where it looks like he can function and he feels pretty good about it (then Parcells would play him).

“I’m talking to him every day, seeing how he’s doing. We’re moving forward. We have a lot of time between now and the game.”

I'm hoping that by mid-morning half of the first page threads on Obner will be about T.O.

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.

I was just about to post this after reading the ESPN article. Those are pretty harsh words coming from a law enforcement official in Texas, where sports are king.

Not when the person trying to be king is T.O. who has the public appeal of a flaming bag of poo.

interesting thing is, the cowboys are well within their rights to put T.O. on the non-football injury list to save $4M.
