Terrell Owens' Suicide
Last week all over ESPN and the news, was the story about Terrell Owens being sent to the hospital for an attempted suicide. It is said that he could have taken anywhere from 30-35 pills of an unknown pain killer. He was seen putting two pills in his mouth after being told not to. The article reports as well that he told friends and police that he was in fact depressed. He was given the medication for a recent football injury in his hand. Early reports intially said that he had, had an allergic reaction to the medication, but the empty bottle was later found.
What I don't understand is why someone making so much money, and looked up at by so many kids would do something like this. I have heard that it is a publicity stunt, but why would that be the kind of publicity anyone would want. Also people attempt suicide with prescription drugs all the time, but the only time it ever has attention drawn to it is when a famous football player tries it.

Most everyone who knows anything about football knows Terrell Owens, or T.O. Since most people know who he is, most everyone knows that he is sort of a head case; whether it comes from his touchdown celebration antics, or just the fact that he is very outspoken, and controversial towards teammates and coaches the association can be mad that the man has problems. Whether or not he actually tried to commit suicide is a whole different question and judging solely on past actions I would have to say, yes he did. But, on the other hand if you look at what bad and negative publicity it has gained him I would tend to say that he didn’t. After much thought and consideration though, “After reviewing the play”, as they say in football, the call stands I believe that he is guilty.
what Nathan had to say about T.O. is true, everyone who knows T.O. or watches football knows he causes nothing but trouble for him and his teammates. I think he would do something like this just to try and get attention to himself cause all he cares about is having all the spotlight to himself.
Where ever Terrell Owens goes the media will not be far behind, because one way or another T.O. always seems to be in the spot light. Whether it's celebrating on the Cowboys logo in the middle of the field after a touchdown, signing a football in response to a touchdown or overdosing on pain medication, T.O. always seems to need more and more attention and the media keeps giving it to him.
