That was his first mistake. He should have tried my ex-wife's cooking. That would have killed him in a heartbeat.

Poor man...he'd just been paid 10 million to play football! That would depress the hell out of me too.

Of couse they haven't released what the depression was about or why he took 5 more pills in front of the police (just in police press confrence). And the police are in the process of counting how many are gone out of 40 from the prescription.

Could he be depressed about performing?

Wasn't it the Dallas Cowboys who did that embarassing rap song before the Super Bowl, all those many years ago?

That would depress ME...

He broke one of his fingers. The prescription pills were for pain. Yeah, the more I'm hearing about this, the more it seems this was a ploy for attention and sympathy.

I believe your referring to the "Super Bowl Shuffle" back in the 1980's. That was the Green Bay Packers... I think.

It's hard to remember. I repressed those memories so well.

It was apparently, however, the Chicago Bears.

The uncompassionate and mean side of me wants to ask: what went wrong?

The tasteless side of me says that he fumbled the remaining pills.

If she can find a way to repay you for this, I'm sure she will.

Sorry to be serious for a moment, but real depression isn't about anything. Just like getting cancer isn't about anything.

Now back to the tasteless jokes. :D

I think someone needs to confess about providing the pain pills and helping to support his suicide attempts. Now that person will make some serious money on the book deals and movie.

Okay, who's responsible?

Puh-lease. Terrell Owens freakin' researched this, I bet. He looked on the Internet and found out exactly how many Vicodin would put him in the hospital but not kill him. Say, the number is 25. He flushed ten pills down the toilet and swallowed 25.

Dude thrives on this kind of attention. If he can't garner the attention on the field, he does this crap. Right now he's hurt, so he can't get attention making catches.

He's certifiably certifiable...but depressed? I doubt it.

The doctor. They were prescribed to him for pain for a little broken finger.

Big. Baby.

I've been around depression, bi-polar disorder, and yes, even someone who did eventually do the deed. I've seen people at their worst.

If he was depressed, he has the means to seek help. After watching him on the news, etc.. for some time, and hearing this report, it's possible he does suffer from bi-polar disorder. I mean, the guy is pretty manic for much of his TV time.

IANAD, of course, so this is mere speculation. I'm sorry I'm calling him a big baby, but... he irritates me to no end. If he really is sick, then I hope he gets help.

My impression is that attention hounds, who only suffer from perceived depression, eventually seek sympathy when faced with an interruption in their regular attention-gaining activities. If he is really expriencing depression, my words will change.

I suspect Paris Hilton has this very act penned in her long-term action plan, for when she starts to age and/or when she starts showing the effects of excesses. Entry: Take just enough pills so the press can call it a suicide attempt.

Again, if TO is really that messed up (emotionally), I hope the Cowboys line him up with proper counseling and help.

Or a man who is abused by his ex-wife, chased and taunted, chastised by the courts, haunted by the evil she is capable of while trying to take care of the kids and his aging mom.

Nah, too unrealistic. Let's stick with the NFL suckers...
