A Dallas police report was released Wednesday stating that Dallas Cowboys’ wide receiver Terrell Owens attempted suicide Tuesday night.

Apparently Owens told Dallas police and rescue workers “that he was depressed.”
The rescue worker “noticed that [his] prescription pain medication was empty and observed [Owens] putting two pills in his mouth,” the police report said.

The worker attempted to pry them out with her fingers, then was told by Owens that before this incident he’d taken only five of the 40 pain pills in the bottle he’d emptied. The worker then asked Owens “if he was attempting to harm himself, at which time [he] stated, ‘Yes.'”

Owens got the pills after he fractured a bone in his hand the Cowboys victory over the Redskins in week two.

The craziest thing about all of this is that Cowboys coach Bill Parcells stated earlier this week that Owens might have had a chance to play this weekend against Tennessee. Now this comes out?

Parcells released a statement this morning that Owens was having stomach problems due to the medication, but mentioned that it was more of a bad reaction – not a suicide attempt.

For as much public debate as Owens receives because of his antics and actions, obviously this goes beyond the football field. Owens needs help and I’m not saying that to be condescending in any way.

Sadly what comes to mind is how media hungry and desperate for attention this guy always is. If by some sick way this was all for attention – than he needs help more than any of us could ever imagine.

Either way he doesn’t need to be anywhere near a football field, because the game is secondary to his health right now. This man is in serious need of some help and hopefully the NFL and Dallas Cowboys take the necessary arrangements to get him that support.

This guy is in serious pain right nowm, but none of us can really say what he is going through in particular. I don’t know what he grew up with, how is life is now and what he believes is in his future.

I just wish him the best and hopefully he can get himself healthy again.
