After trying everything else, T.O. [url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2604395]finally discovers a way[/url] to get people to notice him. The sound you hear is ESPN combusting.

My suggestion to anyone here who wants to comment on this story: Whatever the first thought is that comes to your mind, don't post it. Let it sit in the back of your head for a few hours, mingling with the other thoughts in your head. Then come back and post.

While it's tempting to attribute Owens' suicide attempt to another self-centered ploy for attention (see my comment above), it is certainly not something that I actually believe. Without delving too deeply into the third-rate, armchair psychoanalysis that is sure to bombard the airwaves over the next 72 hours, it appears that beneath Owens' veneer of narcissism and ego lies a much deeper well of insecurity and fear. If this casts him in a more favorable and symphathetic light, so be it --- given the negative attention he's reveled in throughout his career, it might honestly help the man that he be recognized as a human being.

Did you read the story linked by Deadspin about Ken Griffey Jr.? I'd never heard that before.[Edited on 9-27-2006 by FuriousGiorge]

farfetched
Oh wait, yeah, I don't care. I feel bad such a thing like this has happened, but hell, we all have our bad spats with being our own worst enemy.

Glad I wasn't the one to come out of the chute on this topic. I saw the headline in passing on espn this morning before I went to class. Not sure if I care.Oh wait, yeah, I don't care.

I was unaware of that story. I guess I was 9-years-old when it was released by The Seattle Times in 1992. Nothing much else to say except that I applaud Griffey for having the courage to relate his own story as a way to educate others.

Was that the thought that popped into your head immediately, or the one that you thought about for a few hours?

There's plenty of room here for wild speculation, but I think I'll defer to Jay Mariotti and Woody Paige. If Owens did in fact attempt suicide, I only hope that the man seeks treatment --- whether or not he chooses to publicly acknowledge it.

The first thought was that the titans may have a chance this weekend, then i took myself out behind the woodshed and beat my own Arse for having such a dumb revelation.
