Owens denies he tried to kill himself

Terrell Owens has been acting up for years, starting with his nasty comments about his quarterbacks, to risky touchdown celebrations, and complaints about being underpaid. These conflicts were always about the game of football, never about the matters of life or death. Late Tuesday, T.O. was taken in an ambulance to an emergency room. Some words that came out the next morning were suicide, depression, and overdose. Right away, Owens explained that it was all a misunderstanding. Right after he checked out of the hospital, he went back to the Cowboy’s headquarters. Right after he arrived, he caught some passes and then went to a crowded news conference showing his usual perky smile. At the news conference, Owens looked a little amused about the situation. He said he was sorry for causing a distraction, thanked his friends for worrying about him, and said he felt so good that he expects to play Sunday – even though he has the broken hand which led to the pain pills situation. “It was just an allergic reaction,” Owens said. “It’s very unfortunate for the reports to go from an allergic reaction to a definite suicide attempt.” A document said that a friend named Etheredge, called 911 about a suicide attempt and that she informed paramedics that T.O. was depressed. She also said that Owens bottle of painkillers was empty and that he was trying to harm himself. A spokesman said that whatever happened was “not a criminal offence”. Head coach Bill Parcells ended up walking out of his Owens-related news conference in nine minutes. “When I find out what the hell is going on, you will know,” Parcells said. At Owens’ news conference T.O. said “I am not depressed by any means” and that “I am very happy to be here”. The report said that rescue workers were notified because Owens tried “suicide by prescription pain medication.” There was mention of 35 pills that weren’t accounted for. “The rumor of me taking 35 pills, I think is absurd,” Owens said. “I don’t think I would be here if I had taken 35 pills.” Owens clarified that the bottle of hydrocodone, a generic form of Vicodin, was defiantly empty, but the additional pills were in a drawer. He had taken two or three, along with some all-natural supplements which he believes the combination made him groggy. Owens does not recall what he told the emergency responders. “I was kind of out of it,” Owens said. His friends and teammates supported Owens before he had his news conference. They were skeptical about him trying to kill himself. In my oppinion, T.O. is not your normal gifted athlete. I do agree with him and I don't think he tried to kill himself.
I believe that T.O. does a lot of his showing off just for attention. The question that bugs me is if he is really sorry for the distractions that he caused. He obviously didn't take 35 pain killers or else he would have overdosed and probably died. Hydrocodone is not a kind of painkiller you can take a lot of. You are out of it after taking one or two. I don't really like T.O. and I don't think anyone else can get along with him besides himself. Do you think he did it on purpose or was it a complete accident? Did he really know what he was doing all along? What do you think?
