Journal TopShelf's Journal: TO tried to OD 5

Journal by TopShelf

On the way home from hockey last night, I heard the initial reports that Terrell Owens had been admitted to the ER, for what was "most likely" a reaction to pain medicine he's been taking after he had surgery for a broken finger.

It turns out that this was actually a suicide attempt on TO's part. Very strange, indeed. I can't stand the guy and how he behaves, but you hate to see anyone in that kind of situation.

      • More likely is the Dallas Police / Attorney General to look the other way since he's a Cowboy.

        Remember when Barry Switzer got caught with a gun at DFW?
        "Oh, it's OK, Coach, we know it was just a mistake."

        Michael Irvin never had the book thrown at him, either. F..king Community Service for a possesion of COCAINE? Lots of people in prison for that - then again, they didn't play for the Cowboys...

        It wouldn't matter if T.O. was swallowing pills trying to commit suicide with a dead hooker in the other r
