TO was never the one who claimed it was a suicide attempt. It may have been, but it could also just be he took a few too many pills on accident. Either way TO should receive no blame for this being blown out of proportion. It wasn't like he jumped outta the hospital bed and shouted, "I just attempted to kill myself!!!"

 

A lot of you are making fun of a man for possibly attempting to kill himself. That right there is a great sign of class and maturity. Keep it up, it'll get you far in life.

 

This wasn't a suicide attempt. It was another in a long line of immature, selfish, cowardly actions that he has become famous for. Maybe he is depressed because he rode that bike for the entire training camp and didn't go anywhere. Maybe is he a liar who needs everyones sympathy and attention. Maybe the realization is setting in that he really isn't that important even in football. The Eagles seem to be scoring plenty of points without Me O and like I said before he is second on his own team in receptions, yards and is tied for first with 1 TD. The thing is that the Eagles went to the NFC championsip for 3 straight years without him and made the Super Bowl when he was hurt. The wide receiver position is overrated in its importance and that is why guys like Owens have to constantly remind you they exist.

 

Maybe he was jealous of Byron Nelson for getting all the attention in Texas after his death. Whatever his reason he isn't getting any sympathy from me. If everyone else wants to take the bait feel free.

 

I'm just sorry I mentioned Randy Moss, Joe Horne, and Chad Johnson it the same sentence with this guy earlier this week. Randy Moss is a credit to this bum all Moss ever did was hit a policeman with his car.

He said in his PC they were in a drawer. You know plenty of professional athletes do you????? When you see TO tell him to lay off the meds. There isn't a difference in 35 pills, but 5 percs are a lot more potent then 5 of the others. TO has been hurt in the past. What are the supplements he's taking to make his finger heal?? Nothing I've heard of. I'm sure he's taking amino acids, possibly creatine, possibly NO2. Nothing that he I can imagine him taking can make him groggy and "incoherent" other than the percs, and he had to have taken a lot, or he doesn't know his body which is highly unlikely considering he's a professional athlete that's got one of the most athletic bodies in the world.

 

I played college baseball with a few guys that are in the pros now, so i do know a few pro athletes. New supplements are coming out all the time, who is to say that he has never taken painkillers with the supplements he is taking now??? Oh wait you are....my bad

That must mean a suicide attempt is 100% out of the question. I know someone who attempted suicide and was let out of the hospital the next day. That's a fact. Tell me about this 72 hour waiting period all you want, but it does happen. I have to think if TO wanted out of the hospital then they would have let him out (probably into his publicist's care). She mentioned depression to the police and called it in as a "suicide attempt." As an athlete I'm 100% sure TO knows all about what painkillers do to his body. Talk all you want about that, but ask Brett Favre. I'm not sure about getting his stomach pumped, but I'd say it's quite possible that he got his stomach pumped, hit the road, took more supplements, and went to practice.

 

If he did commit suicide, would he have a press conference and say it? No chance, he would have done what he did today and blow it off as absurd. If he went to the hospital last night and they recovered the majority of the medicine before it was absorbed then he's recovered almost immediatley. Had medicine absorbed in his stomach a bit longer then they may have had to take him to the hospital.

 

For the last time, I seriously doubt that TO took a generic painkiller. I'm 90% (I'm normally 100) sure that a "hydrocodone" is Vicoden. Just because our mediocre insurance companies won't spring for the name brand doesn't mean the Cowboys won't. However, I would imagine that he was taking something stronger so he could endure workouts. Probably a Perk(sp)ecet.

I have no idea what this post of yours had to do with my statement that you quoted and highlighted about "obviously has some mental problems". My ststement on that was due to the fact that he many,many time before this incident pulled his antics (although I admit not to this extent) for the purpose to get all the attention on him. I don't know if that was his intent this time and I don't really think that it was (at least I would hope not), but then again you never know with him. I was not one that automatically jumped on this thread to trash T.O.. As a matter of fact I was giving him the benifit of the doubt and getting on the ones who were crtitisizing right from the start untill that joke of a press conference. Then I came on and blasted him. As for the deprssion, that is no laughing matter. Belive me when I tell you that I know that all too well and I will just leave it at that. I did say that during his pc that he certainly didn't seem like a depressed man or one that was droggy coming off pain killers.

You're right that would be "odd" of him.

 

Whoops! Every thing is odd of him

I do not think he did this to "get attention". Yes TO is a attention craver but I don't believe even he would would do this for attention & those who think differently , I believe you are either wanting to stir things up or are such a TO hater that, that is the harshest thing you can say about him & his situation.

Name me one supplement that makes you tired. I've never heard of one. I''m not saying that it isn't a possibility but him taking more than a few painkillers is much more likely.

The first line had to do with your post, but the rest wasn't directed at you. My bad.

Doesn't matter what he does, what he's done, or what he will do. He's not a horrible person, and to make any jokes of him attempting suicide, whether true or not, is very, very sad....

If you are talking about me making jokes about an attempted suicide, check my post just above. I made no joke before that press conference and then I did laugh at a couple. As for what he has done imo it absolutely has a lot to do with why people are ridiculing him. How many attention getting antics in the past has he pulled? I am not saying this was another one but I am saying that it is probably a big reason why people would say so.

You're missing the point, its not the supplement making you tired...its the combonation of the supplement and the painkillers. Certain meds counteract with each other and create certain symtoms including those that need emergency attention.

I said that's possible, but him taking more than a few pills is more likely.

Not trying to stir things up here...but is he looking for more attention?
