I'm not going to pretend to know what happened. I will say that what I have read and seen over the years on TO and the way he grew up, that he had a self esteem problem. Most people that crave that type of attention usually do. I read an article not too long ago that cronicled his life growing up. He was very poor, not many friends. Was made fun of a lot. The kids said he was ugly and even the black kids in the nieghborhood called him "purple" b/c he was darker complected. he lived w/ his grandma who I don't even think had lights in the house, I can't remember what it said, something about it being dark all the time. Anyway, he's talking to a girl one day, and a guy across the street tells him to stay away from her. He asks why b/c he likes her, and the man said it was his half sister. His whole time growing up and his father, who he never knew, was living across the street. I can't imagine what kind of childhood he had, but that is what usually makes us what we are today, personality wise.

My point is that he is the type that has to be re-asured that he is important and he is needed on a daily basis. He needs to know people care about him and that he is a great player. He really should seek thearapy, because I imagine he has a lot of inner demons that he needs to deal with. When you keep all that stuff inside and mask it with "T.O." and not Terrell, you are just percieved as an arrogant, self-centered diva.

my nickle - 3 worth.

The uninformed media keeps asking about the call for police. The simple answer is its part of the protocal when the DFD gets a call that is classified as an overdose. It is an automatic call and not a special request . Owens is always a story but the media is just making a bigger one. Dumb sports reporters that just dont understand the protocal of the Dallas Fire and Police.

This was released 11 minutes ago, and I believe the guy.
I had some dental surgery done about 3 years ago. I had never taken pain killers, even one time, in my life.
They gave me a prescription, I think it was the stuff Terrell was taking.
I took one and about two hours later vomited severely, felt an overwhleming urge to drink some Coke with sugar in it(which I never drink) and then went to sleep and had horrible, vivid, pyschedelic type nightmares and dreams.
I woke up the next day and flushed the rest down the toilet.
Some people have bad reactions to pain medicine, obviously I am one of them also. Sounds to me like he had a bad reaction, lost his mind, and was disoriented. I believe the guy, and I'm no fan of his at all.

I agree too Mike. When I had my wisdom teeth out, I took some crazy pain killers and it made me very nautious and sick to my stomach. Didnt help that I hadnt ate in 24 hours due to surgery requirements. I felt like I was dying. I remember having to crawl to the toilet.

Ditto, Gander. They prescribed demoral to me and after taking two pills, I was literally sick. I felt like I was in a never ending tunnel. No thanks... I'll stick with the pain.

10 hours ago I got caught up in the media hype. Now, the facts are coming out.

Codeine or Tylenol 3 as it used to be called makes some people very sick. My sister and I had our wisdom teeth pulled out at the same time and took the stuff. She was calling Ralph on the big white phone, I was calling people I had not talked to in years feeling like all was wonderful. I will stay away from that stuff. Made me way too happy. I have never done drugs and it was clearly one of the biggest highs I have ever felt. Euphoric chip munk is what I was. Giant swollen cheeks and damn happy to have em.

Terrell is a damn good actor if he really tried to commit suicide. Either that or a bipolar with a very calm collected up. I have not seen that kind.

Wow, you guys made me feel much better.
I thought my reaction made me a weirdo. The day after my reaction, I called my friend Lansdon who had left me some messages that night wondering why I didn't answer my phone. I explained what happened and then said to him " You mean to tell me that people actually take that **** for FUN?!! They have to be insane!" I never heard him laugh so hard.
I'd have to have a limb hanging off before anyone could ever get me to ingest that **** again.

It's wierd how different people react to that stuff, I had to take it after knee surgery, I could pop that stuff like Pez and I wouldn't feel a thing. I stopped taking it, because it wasn't doing me any good for the pain in my knee. I got really sick on nitrous one time, they gave it to me for a root canal, never again...

What I dont get is why does anyone care? Who the heck is Terrell Owens to deserve to be a story and why should anyone care if he wants to harm himself?

My concern is not that it's TO doing this but that a fellow human being has possibly become so depressed as to attempt to end his/her life. So...while I agree somewhat Gander that we pay far too much attention to this guy generally, in this case...I see him as symbolic of tortured souls all over this country and the world. If it turns out that this was an allergic reaction then I'd agree that it got far too much coverage but if it was an actual suicide attempt, it becomes something for us all to ponder!

Hydrocodn is the pain killer he was prescribed. I have first hand experience with these pain killers. From first hand experience, if you take lets say 2 at one time - you will be VERY DROWSY in a short period of time. If you have ever taken them before keep in mind. NO WAY does a man, in my opinion, attempt to take his own life and then hold a press conference the afternoon after.

I don't believe his publicist. I do believe TO. His eyes are clear, he looked people IN THE EYE as he spoke.

Curt: you're talking about Vicodin,right? Well, it never has affected my family that way, course I weigh a tad more than you. I guess I'm lucky...all those side effects people talk about....never had a one...and I take plenty of meds!

Vic's are the hot thing on college campus', that and Xanax. I have used both many times and if you are responsible with it, you feel cool, have a good time, and wake up the next day. It is impossible to relax as much as these meds make you relax in a normal state. This is more so true with Xanax then Vicodin
