He finally realized he was playing for the Cowboys.
(yes, I stole that from Fark)

I'm a cowboy fan... give me hell for it... i dont care.
what is he going to do when he lines up against a DB the next time... and the guy uses this stunt to talk shit... he cant defend it. he either needs to find some self confidence... which he seemed to have... in excess... or he needs to pack it up.
In the hands of the right defense... the ones that talk the best talk and get into peoples heads... this could cripple TO for a career without propper help.
- Evan - 09-27-2006
just goes to show that the stunts were just an act. over compensating, in fact.
- Kaan - 09-27-2006
he hides what bothers him. thats not "new" to how people cope. he is still a great reciever. he's just screwed up in the head.
i'd be all screwed up too if someone gave me 25 mil over 3 years and i still wasnt happy for some reason

I think it's proof that money isn't everything and that most people who are seemingly so full of themselves really are crippled emotionally/mentally.
- Maengelito - 09-27-2006
cmon, a guy who holds a press conference while doing situps in his driveway cant possibly be crippled emotionally/mentally
- Feersty - 09-27-2006
I think he needs to get in his hyperbaric chamber for a while and think things over.

please someone watch as much espn as i just have.........i dare anyone to take 3 hydrocodones after working out and see how responsive you are, if he took anymore than 10 he'd be dead..........get real it wasn't a suicide attempt it's just TO trying to get press like always and im sick and tired of hearing about his broken ass
- Apoc - 09-28-2006
TO trying to get press? Aren't they saying now that the media may have exaggeratged the story?

It sounds that way... his interview was on the Junkies this morning as well as a reporter from TX called in. From the way it sounded, it was blown way out of proportion from the very beginning. He was in the hospital less than 12 hours, and if it really was an OD/cry for help/etc he would've have been there quite a bit longer.
- Andy - 09-28-2006
Press taking advantage of TO? Unpossible
- .RJ - 09-28-2006
Apparently his PR/Publicist/Girlfriend is a raging moron, thats where it all started.
- Evan - 09-28-2006
well the suicide attempt info was taken from the police report, so it wasnt concocted by the media, and of course Owen's PR is going to spin it to not look like a suicide. and why didnt he react to the drugs earlier since his surgery was last week?
ultimately i dont think anyone can say either way whether it was or it wasnt (and personally I dont care much) but one thing I agree with is
Quote:a ravenous 24-hour multimedia news cycle that sustains itself on breaking news -- and never waits long before leaping from fact-gathering to analysis and sweeping judgment -- you have an absolute carnival.

I thought I read somewhere that this was the second such reaction. Why they wouldn't have changed after the first I'm not sure.
I don't really care as long as I can play him this week in fantasy.
