Chilly Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I think that the biggest key in all of this is that Owens was going to speak to the media from his house already. But they changed it to speaking from the team's facility. That to me tells me that the team is in cahoots with all of this, and that they likely wouldn't do that if they thought it was a serious attempt. One could say that it may show just the opposite, that they want to appear to be on his side. But he's going to work out and he's going to practice tomorrow and they won't rule out (yet) that he's not playing this week. That makes me pretty damn sure they don't think this was a legitimate attempt. Any attempt is a serious attempt, even if you cannot go through with it. That doesn't appear to be the case, to me. 788494[/snapback] TO is actually going to speak from his house at Valley Ranch at 2:15 according to the latest news. Parcells will be addressing the media at the team's facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Terrel thing is an hour (maybe 45 minutes) later, from the facility. But the news gets so many of these things wrong that either one could be correct.

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 He was also released from the hospital. About 12 hours after it happened. I'm thinking if they thought it was a serious suicide attempt, he would still be kept there under observation. Perhaps not. 788379[/snapback] True, that. A suicide attempt basically means you get put under a 24-72 hour psych watch, and leaving a/m/a isn't an option. He could have a diagnosable mental illness. It's possible. On the other hand, he could just be a !@#$ing moron. I think the key point here is: you idiots are trying to diagnose a mental illness from media reports!!! Don't. It's not that easy when you're a professional talking face-to-face with a patient. I highly doubt any of you mouth-breathing pez-heads are going to stumble on a correct diagnosis based on ESPN's reporting. As I said a while ago: judgement does NOT equal insight.

However, it *does* make for some good, intriguing conversation as to why he behaves the way he behaves. The appropriate cliche here is: take it with a huge grain of salt.

So let's discuss that: why does he think he can give a definitive diagnosis of mental illness on someone he's never met based on internet reports and a message board? Jesus, some of you people are !@#$ing dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilly Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 T.O. Police ReportFYI 788521[/snapback] It's already being changed. Story getting weirder by the minute You've probably read where the Dallas police have issued a new report regarding last night's events. This one apparently has some of the details blacked out. And the police now said they released the report "prematurely." What you're about to hear is some huge spin control. T.O. will say that this was all a huge misunderstanding. What's hard to figure out is how his publicist, Kim Etheredge, went from trying to save her client's life to saying he just had a bad mix of pain medication and supplements. Will we ever know the complete truth? I doubt it, but this will give Owens a good jumping off point for his next book. http://cowboys.beloblog.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This type of story sells.
