Report: T.O. attempts suicide

Re: Local TV reports TO taken to Dallas Hospital...

I am enjoying that ESPN's bottom line reads "ESPN's Ed Werder reports...."

Yes, because he broke this story. Idiots.

 

Re: Local TV reports TO taken to Dallas Hospital...

So TO isn't starting at quarterback for Arizona on Sunday?

Oh, what a hero he's set himself up to be this time. Broken finger. Adverse reaction to medication. Pronounced dead in a Dallas hospital. Claws way out of casket, gets to Philly, catches 2 TD passes, holds out for $4 billion, one-year deal.

 

Re: Local TV reports TO taken to Dallas Hospital...

This is second-hand, at best:

"WFAA channel 8 and KTCK 1310 here in Dallas just broke the news that T.O. took 35 pain pills last night in an attempt to commit suicide. The source is the Dallas Police Report of the incident, obtained this morning by the media. According to the police report, Dallas fire/rescue responded to a suicide attempt call late last night. When interviewed later in the hospital and asked if he was trying to harm himself, T.O. responded "yes." He evidently took the rest of the bottle of a 40-pill prescription...he had only taken five of them before last night."

Holy shit, Gleason isn't pulling a COCKDIAN on us.

Holy shit,

 

Re: Local TV reports TO taken to Dallas Hospital...

Doesn't surprise me. Usually cocky, swash-buckling types like TO have a lot going on under the surface that no one ever hears about.

Hope the dude gets the help he needs, finally.

Re: Local TV reports TO taken to Dallas Hospital...

Wow.

Just heard him on Le Batard's show a few days ago.... and he was very ... different.

Can't specify, but he was much more gregarious than I have ever heard him on the show.

 

Re: Local TV reports TO taken to Dallas Hospital...

WFAA is notorious for running with stuff about the Cowboys that's not true (see Marty Griffin costing them millions after he blew the Erik Williams/Michael Irvin story). I'll wait for someone else to confirm.

 

T.O. suicide attempt

Thought the new news deserved its own thread.

This is a really sad story. It's so easy to jump to snap judgment about guys like T.O. They can be as troubled as any of us. :'(

Oh my, if this is true, imagine the media coverage...

 

Re: T.O. suicide attempt

Philly fan is drooling right now.

 

Re: T.O. suicide attempt

Perhaps they should worry about the Phillies choking against the Nats.
