Why the hell would I ever go to Dallas?


And I still don't believe the publicist over the police. The police gain nothing from lying about what she said.

Who would you believe first TO…………….

Or

A police officer………………….




TO needs to cover his own ass.

The police officer needs to cover the entire Dallas PD’s ass.


Now who do you believe??????????

It was reported by just about every possible media outlet.

The police report basically just re-hashes what the publicist said to the responders. Clearly her fault for not knowing what the heck was going on. Media has to report stories based on what they know, its not their fault if they have bad info from a supposedly reliable source, like the publicist should be.

I've always loved to watch TO on the field. I've never felt any hatred toward him off the field. Especially not recently. When he acts up, hey, you knew the risk you were taking when you signed this guy.

But whether I liked Owens or not, hearing about another person going through something like this is difficult. It's tough to believe that he would attempt suicide. However, the more I think about it, the more it would make a little sense to me. All of the pressure he is constantly under is insane. He goes down with a hammy we get an update every single day. Hines and Steve Smith go down, what do we hear? Not much at all. It's kinda odd to me that his life is this wide open and no one really knows who he is. I'm not trying to justify suicide or even claiming that he did attempt suicide, just that if he did, I could see why being a fishtank might force someone to it.

So, what I'm hearing is that:

1) Most of you believed that he was depressed and felt sorry for this turd.
2) Now, most of you believe his amnesia story because "it sounded believable"
3) No one sees this for what it is: a publicity stunt. Choreographed by TO.

Anyway, I've got some beachfront property in Utah for sale...

Yeesh.

Did you hear Mike Vanderjagt tried to committ suicide also? He had the rope tied around his neck, stood up on the chair and when he went to kick the chair, HE MISSED !!!!!!

[FRPLG]

Good I can go back to focusing on the fact that he is a douchebag now.

[Hog1]

Good, Now I have a clear conscience for not being broken hearted for him! He will be needing a new publicist

It sounds like T.O. still could use some professional help.

To me it sounds like the cops took the statement he was depressed, ,missing pills, and he was taking 2 pills to equal attempted suicide. I think its the police fault for not finding out the facts before they submitted their report. They had to know that the media was going to see it and run with the story. With that said maybe thats what they wanted to happen.

If you read the police report, it is very matter-of-fact. All it does is report the facts as they see them when they arrive on the scene. The police didn't make any conclusions (as is evidenced by the fact that T.O. was not charged with the crime of attempted suicide). They simply reported what happened. It's the media and public that drew their own conclusions about the suicide. And let's not forget that the police were called to respond to the house based on what the medics saw and the information they gathered from the publicist.
