Why?Also, where is this 'official' police report you trust over everything else.As of right now, I trust the police report over anything else.
GB Conspiracy Theorists.You know what I think:a helluva lot of money and influence is being spent behind the scenes to hush this up.
TO is named in the report.I believe she is referred to as "RP" in the police report, and TO is referred to as "COMP." Her name isn't in the report, but neither is TO's.
The report I've seen doesn't mention TO's name: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0927061owens1.htmlThis is smartest post I've read all day. All you haters, pay attention, this guys tells it like it is and you all gotta wake up & smell the conspiracy!You know what I think:a helluva lot of money and influence is being spent behind the scenes to hush this up.

TO's name is on the report1. You can get away with lying to the mediaWhy?Also, where is this 'official' police report you trust over everything else.As of right now, I trust the police report over anything else.
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0927061owens1.htmlWhere's the actual police report? All I hear is what's reported second hand.The police report suggests that when you read it.Who said he took 35 or so pills?But how does someone accidently take 35 or so pills if this wasn't an attempt.

But breaking a story is more important than getting it right, haven't you forgotten that, it's the 1st rule of good journalism!Newsworthy? YesBut the whores in the media should use their ethical judgement, or in this case, lack thereof, and allow TO the privacy he deserves. Common decency is lost on the vast majority of these cackling hyenas(sp?)

Agreed. There has to be a story behind this story. No matter what, hopefully TO will get the help he needs.rolyaTy said:Yeah, maybe he wasn't trying to kill himself at all, and this story is just another example of the TO amplification factor in the media. But if it's true, most suicide attempts are cry's for help. If you're serious about suicide, there's no "attempt" about it. Methinks there is more to the story.Ministry of Pain said:I'm somewhat speechless however I read that he was doing this while his friend was in the room where he was at...if your going to kill yourself I would think there are easier ways.
Unless there is another report posted, from what I have seen the Dallas News copy is the "response report" or "blotter entry" that is typically entered into the database by the dispatchers. The type in when call was taken and who responded, where it was and what the reason was - then add a short narrative later. The blotter is simply a chronological account of shift events. Entries before and after were probably who was in service/out of service, a response about a disturbance, an alarm going off, a traffic stop, etc. Dallas PD, like any other department will have a standard form with description, person(s) contacted, witnesses, responding officers, etc etc etc. In this case, it likely wouldnt be left to a beat guy to accomplish the entire report due to the high profile nature. They'll be sure an investigator or two handles follow up to make certain their butts are covered.I don'think the police report said it was a suicide. I am pretty sure the police report said, "in response to a suicide call".However, mojorizin I am curious if Kim Etheridge was a witness to everything, is there any reason a police report would not include her in some capacity?Having been in and around law enforcement all my life, unless something is in absolute concrete terms, I'm not always buying it. Cops for one arent the brightest guys in the world, your average patrolman wouldnt know an accidental poisoning from a suicide attempt unless it was obvious, and you can word a report to make something simple look pretty bad. I would be surprised if the PD released a police report before everyone from his supervisor to the Chief, mayor and city attorneys looked it over 100 times. If they did, they really are stupid. The only thing I'd release before a toxicology report and opinion of ER and attending physicians, would be "2257 - Response was made to 1313 Mockingbid Lane regarding a 911 call pertaining to possible overdose. At that time I made contact with a black male later identified to me as Terell Owens. Upon making contact, subject was lethargic and incoherent. Subject was transported via BillyBobs Ambulance Service to Baylor Medical Center at 2314 hours...."So the police report that was posted earlier was a fake? It clearly stated it was a suicide attempt.The drama deepens:UPDATE: Clarence Hill, beat writer for the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, appeared just moments ago on ESPNs Cold Pizza and said he spoke with the woman who actually called 911 and she told him this was NOT a suicide attempt. Apparently Owens took some pain medication along with his normal supplements and there was, in fact, a bad reaction. His stomach was not pumped and hospital personnel did not induce vomiting. The Cowboys will be holding a news conference at 1:30 pm CT.
That's an obvious fake report. Where's his name in the report?>http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0927061owens1.htmlWhere's the actual police report? All I hear is what's reported second hand.The police report suggests that when you read it.Who said he took 35 or so pills?But how does someone accidently take 35 or so pills if this wasn't an attempt.
You're guessing.No, he didn't. He just said "yes" to a couple of questions when he apparently was in a groggy and unresponsive state and lots of people were talking.Mine as well.I'm not sure if what we'll get later today will be news or spin. The police report will stay the same, however. The guy told the police he was trying to hurt himself.Thats my line of thinking as well.But how does someone accidently take 35 or so pills if this wasn't an attempt.
In all reality, essentially he is doing this for attention. But not overtly like, "look at me, and how cool I am," or, "I don't care why you are looking at me, just look at me."He's seeking attention. And that attention he is seeking is to help alleviate the pain he is feeling inside from what is obviously a severe depression. Which makes sense. He has probably been suffering from this for a long time and instead of being miserable alone he makes others around him miserable. He thinks that going and playing for the Eagles with his friend McNabb will end the pain he feels inside. And it probably did for a while but the problem was never treated and it came back. And then he made everyone around him miserable again.This has got to be the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time. You are really open minded arent you? TO has lots and lots of money, therefore he is unable to have personal issues or even worse DEPRESSION. Give me a break, you don't have a clue. Do everyone a favor and keep your opinions in your pea brain.I am sorry but I cannot feel sorry for TO. The guy makes millions of dollars and if he is dumb enough to throw that all away, then that is his fault. But like I said, he is doing this for attention and it is working. Look at all the attention he is getting now, from us, fans, the media, etc...
Man, 3000 hits. I know this goes without saying, but you are so ####### awesome...No, just a weekly RB analysis thread that gets about 3,000 hits and lots of good bantering with people that want to talk football...what have you done lately?Posted any fake news stories about TO whimpering in the hospital?Making friends in every thread you go I see.I guess what you fail to grasp is that no one cares about your opinion.You know what I love most about the U.S.? Freedom of speech! Nothing like a bunch of wannabe policeman, trying to keep someone down for posting there opinion.
I'm glad I read the last 5 pages to see if someone had responded mentiong suicidal gestures. People, if you think suicide is as simple as:It's called a suicidal gesture and is very common. Of course it is potentially fatal. Many suicides are a result of failed/successful suicidal gestures. Of course an individual in good psychological state is not going to attempt suicide or make a suicidal gesture. If you are implying that it is a "marketing ploy" you are assuredly off base. If you mean that it is a cry for attention with the emphasis on CRY then you are probably correct.TO appears to have a Histrionic Personality Disorder and people with this constellation of behaviors frequently made suidical gestures. I have to admit that it was my first thought when I heard the reports last night. I did not know of course but I felt that a suicidal gesture was more likely than an untoward drug effect or overdose of NSAIDS.I agree.Killing yourself is not difficult. The only way you can fail is if someone catches you and gets medical attention.If TO really wanted to kill himself, he would have done it in a more efficient way. Why would you take pills with someone in the room if you planned on committing suicide? He did this solely for attention, IMHO. I know a girl who tried to "committ suicide" 7 or 8 times by slitting her writsts. She knew exactly how to slit them so she would bleed alot, but not die. She did it for attention.Has not TO shown in the past what kind of person he is? I am not degrading the guy, I am simply making a statement that he did not intentionally want to kill himself, but rather wants attention....or help as most of you would say.This has got to be the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time. You are really open minded arent you? TO has lots and lots of money, therefore he is unable to have personal issues or even worse DEPRESSION. Give me a break, you don't have a clue. Do everyone a favor and keep your opinions in your pea brain.I am sorry but I cannot feel sorry for TO. The guy makes millions of dollars and if he is dumb enough to throw that all away, then that is his fault. But like I said, he is doing this for attention and it is working. Look at all the attention he is getting now, from us, fans, the media, etc...
What better way to have someone catch you than to have someone in the room?
I'm not saying that it makes it any less sad for Owens, he still needs to get himself help, but let's not make the mistake that he wished he was dead.
Here is what was reported earlier as the actual report:Dallas NewsThat's an obvious fake report. Where's his name in the report?>http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0927061owens1.htmlWhere's the actual police report? All I hear is what's reported second hand.The police report suggests that when you read it.Who said he took 35 or so pills?But how does someone accidently take 35 or so pills if this wasn't an attempt.
I've seen someone I know released the next day.If this is true, and by leaving it means he will be going home, then I'm pretty sure they don't think he attempted suicide. They don't just let people leave the next day after that, they commit them for a mandatory period into a psychiatric center/clinic for evaluation. At least, that's what they do in VA.And it is logical that they would/should do that everywhere... it would be incredibly irresponsible to let someone who is depressed enough to have just attempted suicide to leave quickly without counseling or evaluation, when he might still be similarly depressed and could therefore make another attempt."He will be leaving the hospital today," she said.
You people who constantly scream for a link need might need to read an entire thread.

I assume RP#1 (or RP) is Kim Etheridge
The report I read only contains statement given to the responding officers by the reporting party (unclear if the RP is the woman or the EMT). One area is unclear regarding whether the statements were made by the reporting party or the complainant (TO). Regardless, they are a record of what was said to the responding officer. There is no interpretation of the facts listed in the narrative. They reported what they were told at the scene. No more, no less. The police position is likely stating the obvious, that this is not a police matter so don't ask us about any of this mess because we just came to the scene like we were asked to do and wrote some stuff down like we are required to do...nothing more, nothing less. Translation: Regardless of what happened, this is a medical issue and not a police issue, ask the medical folks.Translation: our inexperienced responding officer misinterpreted the situation, filed a report that needlessly contained severe inaccuracies instead of just stating the KNOWN facts as such reports are supposed to do (that's why they have detectives who follow up), touched off a media firestorm, has enormous legal implications, and now we are backing away as fast as our legs will carry us.More facts.....RECAP: Dallas Police Briefing... ::EDITED:: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Police PCHow this information got out, we don't know.The official statement is that we WILL NOT have any further investigation on this matter.

And this doesn't look remotely like a real police report. Again, anyone can type of ANYTHING and then say it references TO. Hell, it could be about Joe Bryant because last time I've looked, Police Reports clearly mention the person and the situation.Here is what was reported earlier as the actual report:Dallas NewsThat's an obvious fake report.

Think YOU need to actually read the report, second page to be clear. Again, reports clearly mention the person's name, unlike this one.

I hear the "cover page" to this report originally had George W. Bush's name on it.

Its the way it should be. PD was first reponder, will have to make an entry regarding their response, and if determined it is not a police matter, they may not even file a more formal report.
