    Terrell Owens back in the news again, this time for a possible suicide attempt

    This time he slurps down pills with a can of Dr Pepper Berries & Cream, great way to boost the sales of his main sponsor

    Whats the inside track on this story:)

    I did not know about the DP B&C involvement!
    Owens Explains Incident, Vows Return To Practice

    Basically a case of the media making things up to boost their ratings - or at the very least jumping to conclusions based on the little info they had. That might be an over generalization, but in any case it's another instance where initial reports are off base and couldn't be more so in this story by the looks of it.

    1) The initial police report isn't a report at all, it's just a preliminary take on what happened. Owens, by the sound of it, was incoherent when asked if he was trying to harm himself.
    2) The 'report' obviously never should have been released in the first place - it's against policy to do so.
    3) The police go back the next day and re-interview everyone involved and then make an official report based on that.


    the story yesterday morning: 911, 'missing' pills, suicide attempt

    midday: 911 & apparent allergic reaction between pain killers and supplements
