Members Bree Posted September 27, 2006 Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-c...p&type=lgns I would have never expected it from him, but maybe the Eagles' releasing him affected him more than he thought...

Members Daphne Posted September 27, 2006 Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 I know the media loathed this man, and many football fans hated him, but this news makes me sad. I hope he gets the help he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricaKane70 Posted September 27, 2006 Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 Will the media leave this man alone, he's denying it, they should just leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 27, 2006 Administrator Share Posted September 27, 2006 But does he need "help?" There hasn't been any signs of drugs before, has there? I don't remember anything. I'm not sure I believe the thing about him taking 35 pills - TO has denied that. If he took 35 pills, would he be able to practice tomorrow or have a press conference today? I don't think that's even possible. The press got out of whack on this, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bree Posted September 27, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 My grandfather came up with a good theory, that he did this because he wasn't getting the publicity he was used to while with the Eagles, so he concoted this to get attention. It makes sense. He's arrogant and has a big-ass ego. I wouldn't put it past him. I'm just glad the Ravens didn't pick him up, they have enough punk thugs on that team.

Administrator Toups Posted September 27, 2006 Administrator Share Posted September 27, 2006 Umm.....that's BS. LOL TO may be selfish as a player, but I highly doubt he's going to risk his life for publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bree Posted September 27, 2006 Author Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 Some people will risk their lives for publicity. That's why it's called "living on the edge." Terrell is a football player. He risks his life every game. You've got to accept the possibility that this was a desperate cry for help---and attention.

Administrator Toups Posted September 27, 2006 Administrator Share Posted September 27, 2006 A desprite cry for help? Help from what? There's been no signs of past drug or substance abuse. I don't believe there's been personal issues in his life, haven't heard anything. I heard he had an allergic reaction to some meds last week, so it's not that surprising that it happened again. This time it was just worse. There's no proof that he took 35 pills or that he attempted suicide. With the initial police report, the media blew this out of proportion.

Members Daphne Posted September 27, 2006 Members Share Posted September 27, 2006 Toups, my reply was before TO denied attempting suicide. I'm not really sure what to make of all of this, but I don't believe he did this to get publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KBT Posted September 28, 2006 Members Share Posted September 28, 2006 Why is the media so damn head over heels with TO, I could care less what happens if, around, under, over, through that man. He almost always gets the first story on SportsCenter and it makes me sick. He could have simply taken too many pills and mixed some he wasn't supoose to and then here CUMS the media all over the damn situation. This makes me dislike ESPN almost as much as their dislike for the south. ESPN is so biased towards teams up north it irks me to no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
