Now he's saying that he didn't try to commit suicide

Terrell Owens said he didn't try to commit suicide and said his publicist's call to 911 was a case of misunderstanding.

"There was no suicide attempt," Owens said. "The rumor of me taking 35 pills is absurd," said Owens, who said the rest of the pills in the empty bottle were in a drawer.

Owens said his publicist made the 911 call out of a fear for his well being.

"I really wasn't as coherent as they thought I was," Owens said when asked if he told rescue workers he tried to hurt himself. Owens said he took hydrocortisone for his hand and a number of supplements. "The list is too long. All of them are natural supplements."

When asked if he could play Sunday against Tennessee, Owens said "yeah."

bull.

A single large dose of this medication is unlikely to cause any inhibiting symptoms, much less death. A hydrocortisone overdose is more likely to be caused by a chronic overdose--large doses taken over a period of time and have deliberate sideeffects, including swollen joints and excessive hair growth.

He was not "unresponsive" from taking an anti-inflammatory. He took something else. hmph, lying and saying "oh, i forgot and took two pills after i already took two." If anything at that time, he'd just get a stomach ache.

and if you listen to him on the press event, he didn't even bother to get a good excuse.

peace in your heart, young warriors,.. and peace in his. but denying solves nothing.

This is a money-saving event. He gotta recap that revenue for the team. I'm not sure he was trying to off himself, but he wasn't knocked out where someone thought he was gonna die from a double dose of hydrocortisone.

It's all about his ego and need to be in the spotlight one way or the other.
