Publicity stunt. If he really wanted to commit suicide he wouldn't have took the pills right before his publicist was coming over.

It's unfortunate this ******* didn't succeed. He needs to come out of the closet or just kill himself. Nobody gives a **** if he's gay.

I have little compassion for an attention whore who has let his team down repeatedly. How many chances should this guy get?

I stand by what I say. This was a publicity stunt. Everything with this guy is. He has the mental and emotional capacity of a child who wasn't loved enough by their parents.

people do not take their own life for publicity. yes, he has a huge ego and thinks he's gods gift. a huge ego does not make someone attempt to kill themself. i don't like the guy, his antics on and off the field are ridiculous. certainly not old school! BUT, what he's going thru now has nothing to do with any of that. as the team said, he has no MO that would show he would ever make this kind of crazy attempt.

suicidal people aren't thinking in a 'normal' way. after all, taking a human life, even one's own, is completely abhorrent to the vast majority of people. no one gets up and says, hey, i think i need some attention. i believe i'll try to kill myself.
in other words, your idea about this is completely incorrect. and coldhearted.

Oh that is complete and utter bull****. Lots of people 'attempt' suicide and fail for the simple fact that they want attention. It happens everyday and T.O's failed attempt is a classic case of attention whoring. This guy has people around him all of the time and if was really going to kill himself he would have tried a swifter method. Truth is he doesn't want to.

Agree 100%...I've worked in mental health all my life, this is sad, I don't give a damn who it is! If this was a suicide attempt, it is the product of severe depression and a deeply troubled mind in real pain! Anyone making light of such a thing has a hole in their soul!!

i know the other day parcells said the pain meds were making t.o. sick.. then the 'allergy' report which now is reported as an attempted suicide. it's a huge possibility that the meds themselves brought on the depression. many pain pills, valium for one, are known to have depression as a side effect. altho he's always been known as having a big ego, he's never been considered a 'troubled' athlete.

Yeah Zieg I agree.
I really can't believe he would try to commit suicide.
I'll have to see more info before I believe this.

i'm telling you....someone is suddenly on meds and then goes off the deep end. i don't think it's a reach at all to conclude this is a chemical problem!
