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.
