Oh I think my joke was rather tempered. I could have gone with the TO swallowing his ego bit or something like McNabbs mom lacing his Chunky Soup.
Video from a Dallas CBS station. Not sure if it will be worth much later since there is no direct link. http://cbs11tv.com/video/?cid=7
Did he take the wrong pain meds? Again?? ------------------Hope it's that simple------------------and he's safe exerpt from... Reports: T.O. in hospital to induce vomiting 12:34 AM CDT on Wednesday, September 27, 2006 By TODD ARCHER / The Dallas Morning News Last week, according to Parcells, Owens had a reaction to the pain medicine he was given following surgery in which a plate was inserted into his right hand to stabilize a fractured fourth metacarpal. Parcells said Owens became ill and could not work out, but he was improved the next day. http://www.wfaa.com/sharedcontent/dws/wfaa/latestnews/stories/wfaa060927_mo_owens.1e26326b.html
UPDATE (I may have guessed it correctly) Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens was hospitalized Tuesday night after suffering an allergic reaction to pain medication likely being taken for his broken right hand, according to newspaper and broadcast reports. "This is not serious," Owens' publicist Kim Etheridge said in Wednesday's online edition of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
One radio station is reporting based upon supposed eye-witnesses that this was a suicide attempt. They're saying that 911 was called and the police or paramedics asked him if this was an attempt to take his life and he responded "yes". Not confirmed, but it's what's being reported by one radio station here in Dallas.
FWIW I was just listening to a morning show in austin and they cited a dallas station that reported it was a suicide attempt. they said it just came across.
