Sadness is All Around



I don't know sports, but I do know sadness. Dallas Cowboys receiver, Terrell Owens, attempted suicide by overdosing on pain medication. When fire personell arrived to save him, Terrell popped in two more pills to quickly try and rush things.

The police report said Owens told his friend "that he was depressed." Details of the report were first released by WFAA-TV on Wednesday.

The friend, who is not identified in the report, "noticed that (his) prescription pain medication was empty and observed (Owens) putting two pills in his mouth," the police report said.

The friend attempted to pry them out with her fingers, then was told by Owens that before this incident he'd taken only five of the 40 pain pills in the bottle he'd emptied. Owens was asked by rescue workers "if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time (he) stated, 'Yes."'

Owens was hospitalized late Tuesday because of what his publicist said was an allergic reaction to pain medicine he was taking for a broken hand. Doctors reportedly tried to induce vomiting.

I guess Terrell is known for strange and wild antics both on and off the field.

What is going on? Is there a full moon or some crap?

UPDATE - T.O. held a press conference and denies he tried to kill himself and denies he's suffering from depression. Click here for story.
