WTF???Quote:
DALLAS - Flamboyant Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens tried to kill himself by overdosing on pain medication, police said, even putting two more pills into his mouth after a friend intervened.
The word idiot comes to mind.
Actually the words clinically depressed might be more accurate. I know lots of idiots and sadly none of them are trying to kill themselves.Quote:

DPD does not have an investigation, just a reported medical situation, not criminal. Suicide attempts ARE charged and treated as criminal investigations.
Also once TO is healthy enough to be released medically he would be transferred to a psychiatric facility for evaluation if it was a suicide attempt.
I'm saying media over-reaction, but we'll know later today WTF is going on.
More like 'attention whore' to me....

Nope. Not defending him but I'm not judging him either. I could care less that he is a pro football player. Obviously he has a lot to be thankful for.Quote:

We don't know his personal life. We haven't walked in his shoes. We are in no position to judge him. I just hope he gets the help he needs.
He claims it was a big misunderstanding. I have no reason not to believe his story.
