Terrell Owens hospitalized
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060927/...hospitalized_3
Report: T.O. taken to emergency room 4 minutes ago DALLAS - Terrell Owens was taken to the emergency room for an undisclosed reason Tuesday night, and doctors treating the Dallas Cowboys receiver were trying to induce vomiting, according to a television report. Owens was brought by a fire rescue crew to Baylor Medical Center, Dallas-Fort Worth television station KTVT reported, citing sources the television station did not identify. A reporter for the station later said she saw Owens being wheeled down the hall. Calls from The Associated Press to Owens' agent, his publicist and the Cowboys were not immediately returned Tuesday night. The hospital told the AP that they do not have a patient registered by Owens' name. KTVT said a Dallas police spokesperson was en route to the hospital to talk about a "high profile case." Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger a week ago Sunday night. The next day, a plate was screwed in, protecting the bone so it can heal without further damage. Earlier Tuesday, Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he expects Owens to rejoin his teammates at practice Wednesday and would start Sunday in Tennessee if he proves he can play. "It's just, can he withstand the pain of catching the ball?" Parcells said. "When he can stand it, he can play." With the Cowboys having had a bye last weekend, Owens could return without having missed a game. He's already said he'll play Oct. 8, when he gets to face his former team, the Eagles, in Philadelphia. |

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.

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'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. FAX |

Mystery surrounds T.O. illness By CLARENCE E. HILL JR.
Star-Telegram Staff Writer Star-Telegram / Stewart F. House March: Terrell Owens, with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, at the press conference announcing Owens' signing with Dallas. More photos Chat live with Jennifer Floyd Engel at 12:30 today. Startle Grams: It's K.O. time for T.O. The narrative from the Dallas police report Philly.com blog 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.

"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. |
