This is true, and also it reminds me of a time when this girl I knew in college said she was killing herself and locked herself in her bathroom with all kinds of prescription drugs, mostly barbituates and sh*t like that. We all freaked out and called the ambulance and they get in the bathroom to help her - turns out she took 10 aspirin, LOL!

5 pain pills? I can do that with no problems, the most he'll have is a slight, VERY slight buzz for 30 minutes or so.

Just for clarification, to me, this reads as 35. He said he took 5 before this incident (as his regularly prescribed dosage), and he emptied the bottle in this suicide attempt. 40 - 5 = 35.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner.....

IF he really is "home."

I'm not going to bash the guy, but I seriously find it difficult to have much sympathy about his actions.

I have profound sympathy for people who have a great void in their lives or that they find life too difficult to manage anymore. It breaks my heart to see others hurting and in pain- good people who don't need attention, but rather a purpose.

T.O. however doesn't fit this profile. T.O. is the attention-whore of attention-whores. He commands the throne of attention. I was tired of his antics LAST year, and the fact of the matter is- he hasn't done sh*t to justify this sort of media attention since last year. He pulls a muscle, and every fuggen minute is about him on ESPN. He breaks a nail, it's another 48 hours of T.O. Now, I'm sure ESPN and the other networks just love to drive his attention into the ground and that they are responsible, but the fact is- T.O. has every right to avoid media attention as the rest of the players do. Need proof: Look at how Priest Holmes handles the media. When's the last time you ever saw him on TV and the guy was putting up monster numbers compared to T.O.

So, I'm sorry if you think I'm an ass, but the fact is- I just find it very difficult to show much concern for his well-being when he allows himself to behave this way. I hope he's all right. I hope he finds it in his heart to get help. I hope he'll make better decisions in his life from this moment forward. But, right now- I'm just so sick and tired of his antics I could really care less if he tried to kill himself or not. 'Cause the fact of the matter is- he alone has killed my interest in ever watching any football news for the past couple of years.

I've heard two different stories. One says he tried to committ suicide, and one says he just had an allergic reaction. Which one is true?

i smell class action lawsuit

I dont think anyone knows for sure. Like someone said if you try to commit suicide yoru going to be for a while. They just dont let you go like that. They have to evaluate you. I remember when my dumb ass friend accidently put a glock 40 through his hand, they didnt let him go for a while. He had to talk to hell of people he said.

I personally have never heard of an allergic reaction to pain pills.

I would like to know who's reporting that he's home? I'm listening to a radio station thats covering this like Aunt Jemimah and I haven't heard anything to that effect.

Well several different sources are confirming suicide attempt. CNN, ESPN, yahoo, etc.

Here is the Dallas Police report

I'm pretty certain that working with Bill Parcells would drive me to suicide.

But, I feel badly for TO in this case. No matter what happened, he's a marked man now. He's like the Liza Minelli of football.

T.O. timeline: A season of turmoil
DALLAS -- Did Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens try to commit suicide by taking as many as 35 prescription pain pills?

Or did a police report inaccurately classify a call to Owens' Dallas home as an attempted suicide?
On Wednesday morning, Owens' publicist vehemently denied that he intentionally tried to harm himself Tuesday night.
She attributed Owens' statement to officers that he was trying to harm himself to the fact that he was groggy from mixing pain pills with supplements.
Kim Etheridge, Owens' publicist, was described in the report as "a woman companion" who said she observed him putting two pills in his mouth."

The picture could become clearer at 1:30 p.m., when coach Bill Parcells holds his regularly scheduled news conference.

A brief news conference by police did little to clarify the situation.

Lt. Rick Watson, a Dallas police spokesman, said police are conducting no investigation of the events at Owens' home.

He described it as "a medical situation" and said any further information would not come from police. He also indicated that the police report had been released prematurely.

He declined to answer questions or to verify the accuracy of the police report, although he did pass out redacted copies.

"This is a high-profile person," Watson said. "We looked into it and determined that there was not a criminal offense in this incident."

"We would do it the exact same way" no matter who was involved, he said.

Owens was being treated at Baylor University Medical Center.

Etheridge said he "is fine."

"He will be leaving the hospital today," she said.

According to the police narrative, the woman said the prescription of 40 pills was filled on Sept. 18 and, until Tuesday, Owens had taken only five pills.

The police report said Owens was asked if he had taken the rest of the prescription. Owens said, "Yes."

According to the report, police also asked if he was trying to harm himself. Owens answered, "Yes."

Etheridge said she called 911 because Owens was groggy and lethargic.

She said he was in pain stemming from the fractured right hand, suffered against Washington two weeks ago.

He underwent surgery to have a plate and three pins placed in the hand last Monday.

Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said at the time that Owens was having a bad reaction to the pain medication.

Etheridge said Owens experienced more pain and discomfort Tuesday.

He took some pain pills and did some "microcurrent" treatment.

She said he also took some supplements and "it kicked in a reaction." "When I went to grab him, he was out of it," Etheridge said. "That's why I called 911."

Etheridge said Owens did not have his stomach pumped at the hospital and did not vomit.

Staff writer Bill Miller contributed to this report.

I think the Dallas police screwed the Pooch on this one fellas

As posted a few posts earlier ... you decide. The Dallas Police Report

"He also called a business partner about a towel-wrap venture they're starting and joked to TV cameras that he wasn't talking until Wednesday and today was only Tuesday."

This tells everything-it was all planned. He was also seen taking some of those pills the day before, so I think it is safe to believe him that he took 5. Remember he is not real bright, he said that he wasn't responsible for what was said in his own biography that he first said he wrote.
