As everyone knows, I am a Redskins fan. Despite the fact that The Dallas Cowboys are our sworn mortal enemies, I am going to attempt to write about the Terrell Owens suicide attempt objectively, respectfully and with compassion. If anyone knows T.O., forward this letter to him for me, please.
Terrel, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, MAN!!! Is it really THAT bad?! Did Sean Taylor hit you so hard that it took away your will to live?! COME ON, SON! GET IT TOGETHER!
Whatever got you down can’t be that bad. You’re one of the best wide recievers in the game, and you’re rich b*tch! There’s folks out here with REAL problems who are still plugging along! Look at me! Hell, my credit is shot. Shot like Denzel Washington’s character at the end of Training Day. Hope you saw that movie…If not, I just ruined it for you and gave you one more reason to be depressed. My bad, homie.
You got groupies MAN! You think bloggers get groupies?!
Well, actually, sometimes…but sh*t. It doesn’t even begin to compare. Trust me.
Yes, I know Bill Parcells is a crusty old man, but most people’s bosses are. Imagine being a regular 9-5 guy like myself and dealing with it for significantly less pay. It’s enough to make you want to go Latrell Sprewell on one of those fools and choke slam ‘em.
Damn…this pep talk is making ME depressed! Come on man, pick your head up, put down the pills, and go get some therapy! You’re blessed, despite your loud mouth and silly(yet often hilarious) attention whore antics. As much as I can’t stand the Cowboys, I’m pulling for you.

There. Now that the tough love speech is out of the way, I hope he’s able to get the help that he needs. Last year during his drawn-out situation with Donovan McNabb and The Philadelphia Eagles, I said that he needs therapy to deal with his issues. Still, I never thought I’d read about him attempting suicide.
The ESPN News folks are already saying that this could be some kind of reaction to his medication and suppliments that he was taking, but I don’t know about that one. He’s about to give a press conference soon though. We’ll get to hear his side of the story, and see if this has been blown out of proportion. Only T.O. really knows. Hopefully, it’ll all work out for the best.

ok I’m still LMAO cause he a damn nut!!! I said he got issues.. he ain’t right in the head.. LOL and now this..
another attention whore antic to cover up that he ain’t worth the $$ Dallas is paying him.. His best receiving days are over.. he ain’t no Jerry Rice! He shoulda stayed in Cisco.. he wouldn’t be having dese issues now!
man i really dont fallow sports because I thought he was on the Eagles??? but as i read he popped two more as the popo came in. You wanna hear somethin silly. I heard on CSI they said men usually will cap themselves. Women usually go the less messy route like, pills or whatever. And get real…if he wanted to die, he would make sure no one was around to catch him poppin them pills. Its either a cry for help or ATTENTION FIT. Get it together hunnie…you’re a grown ass man.
I don’t know if he’d be better off in San Francisco, but the Philadelphia thing could have definitely been avoided.
I really have a feeling that I am going to piss off a bunch of people who have either attempted suicide, or work to help folks who are contemplating it. I always seem to find a way to anger people by being too blunt about sensitive issues.
well. It really can’t be that bad. He’ll get some help, if in fact he really did try to kill himself.
Sidenote–eveyone that i’ve ever known who tried to kill themself was wealthy. with maybe two exceptions. WTF is up with rich folks. If its the money. Pass it to me. I need an apartment, new/or slighty used car, a better job, and a barber who can cut my hair right!!.
I think most folks without money see that as their biggest problem, while people with it are like, “I’m rich why do I feel like crap.” B.T.W. Leon your page must be going through the same thing as T.O. cause something’s weighing it down.
i wonder if he feels like a failure once again. he cant even commit suicide! lol, ok that was harsh but i had to say it because im of the 82% of women who came from the fiery womb of satan himself! muah ha haaaa!
He just gave a press conference, saying he is cool. He is saying that it was an allergic reaction…and he doesn’t know how it got turned into this. He also thinks he is ok to play…publicity stunt? He IS known to be attention starved. Sorry you had to waste the pep talk, it was a good one!
@ Cool AC, I kind of believe his story. People die every day from accidental misuse of medication, so it’s not beyond the realm of possiblity. Hopefully, that’s what it was. If that’s not the case and folks are protecting him, I hope he’s getting the help he needs behind closed doors.
@ Erin, that’s funny as hell!
Good point @ Amadeo. As far as the page, I think it’s the Black Weblog Award badge. I’m going to experiment with different ways of displaying it later that won;t weigh the page down. I didn’t realize, because it looks fine on my computer in Firefox.
I agree with dee-lish, most of the cases of suicide or attempted suicide have been with wealthy people. I guess it’s true what they say…mo’ money mo’ problems. I guess I should be thankful and happy then! :)
I honestly don’t think dude tried to kill himself. Yes it looked bad, but the media got their grubby little paws on the story with very few details and fudged the unknown. There are two reasons this is a huge story in the first place. One, it’s T.O. This nigga can’t wipe his butt without it making SportsCenter these days. “duna dunt–duna dunt, This just in from our ESPN studios in Bristol, tire treads were just found in a pair of T.O.’s underwear, apparently the $25 million contract he received from the Cowboys doesn’t mean he ever learned to wipe properly, let’s go to ESPN expert John Clayton to see what he has to say” And reason number two, HE’S a COWBOY. The media loves to report breaking news when dealing with the Dallas Cowboys and drugs. First Nate Newton, then Michael Irvin, now T.O. You never hear breaking news about other teams’ drug problems. When Ray Lewis killed a nigga, they swept it under the rug and let him play the next game. When Jamaal Lewis was released from jail, he played and his jail stint was never brought up again. But now some 10 years later something happens to another Cowboy and people start throwing around accusations that the Cowboys are turning into the TrailBlazers. If this had happened to Ben Roethlisberger or Shawn Alexander (the NFL sweethearts) it would have never been as big a story is all I’m saying.
this is completely random because it doen’t have shit to do with the T.O post, but you are ridunkulously funny! i read your shit like everyday and it is pure comedy! if i still frequented maryland like that we’d have to hang. plus your hot so there’s bonus points. no, seriously, the blog bangs so keep it up!
p.s. ignore my profuse usage of the word shit. i cuss an immense amount of the time and “shit” is the word of the day! TTFN!
hello from Tokyo,
leon youre very funny make me laugh my ass off every day, just want to say that was possibly the worst pep-talk i ever heard in my long years….
I think the press conference was a bunch of crap..I’m not buying that “re-nig”, I think he needs to admit to it and get some help… I now people say that he shouldn’t be, but money doesn’t solve all your problems so who knows what he could be going through. Regardless hopefully he does get it together cause truth is, it could be worse..maybe he can realize that and learn to get some help before he sprials into a maurice clarnett.
His publicist (Kim Etheredge) was the worst. I believed T.O. but then she got up there and opened her mouth and swiftly inserted her foot.
First she denied everything that the police report said she said and did. That was sketchy.
Then she was like “He is strong man when a man of his STATUE is non-responsive…. STATUE….come on STATUE….. really folks STATUE. She had me hitting up dictionary.com thinking all these years and I have been using STATURE totally wrong.
Then she’s on there saying she didn’t remember what happen the night before. I thought T.O. was the one that O.D’ed.
Oh, I think she just O.D’ed DUMB ASS.
There is more folks. She’s a publicist; a press agent or public-relations consultant. And she is up there chewing gum. I thought that was public speaking 101: Lesson 1: Take gum out of your mouth before you insert foot.
And then the topper, what really made it the grease fire that was her press conference she said “He has 25 million reasons to not kill him self”. Like rich people don’t swallow discharged shotgun pellets.
After she sees that replayed we will be back hear reading what Leon has to say about her attempt to whack her self. Or better yet T.O’s successful attempt of whacking her of her job. LOL!!!
Was I reading too much in to that???? Probably so but I just thought I would bring that to every ones attention.
Oh yeah people of your STATUE should PLAY LOTTO!!!!!
Now I know I am late on this but I couldn’t help it. The press has always put our people in the negative light as much as they can.
I don’t believe he really tried to commit suicide because he was at that press conference really quick.
Personally I think it was a publicity stunt and the world brought it. Way to go T.O.
