    Didn't Barrett Robbins try to commit suicide before the Super Bowl against Tampa?

    Given what I saw on ESPNews just now from the Dallas Police, sounds like WFAA might have jumped the gun.
    Given their past history, no surprise.
    Marty Griffin must be so proud right now.

    I don't think he's played in the league since, right?

    I believe that is correct. And sorry for the D_B ... didn't read the whole thread before I posted.

    But didn't WFAA's reporter have a copy of the police report? They were showing parts of it on ESPN, so I assumed that's where they got it.

    Again, ESPN just continues fellating Team Owens, repeating over and over that no one is sure if this is a suicide attempt.

    Pathetic.

    Also, now Palantonio -- like Mort before him -- is chiding reporters for the way they're going about this story. You gotta be fuckin kidding me!

    Sounds like they had something that wasn't an official police report. Like I said, it's WFAA at it's normalcy.

    First, if a current pro athlete successfully committed suicide ... well, he's got one hell of a committment to playing the game after he's dead. ;)

    In 1940, Reds catcher Willard Hershberger killed himself in his hotel room while the team was in Boston.

    I'm waiting for the Tick Tock T.O. from AP for the official word.

    I wonder if they didn't get the actual police report, while Dallas PD was busying redacting one for an "official" release.

    he's been eleased from the hospital. if it really was a suicide attempt, wouldn't he be held for psychiatric observation?

    t.o. was probably just jealous that terry glenn was stealing some attention by cutting his finger the other day. :eek: :eek: :eek:
