He apparently ingested a large quanity of pain killers and they had to pump his stomach per the police report. When the officer asked him if he tried to harm himself he said yes.

I can't believe this.

Another case of better to wait for all the information....now they are saying an allergic reaction to pain meds. It certainly could be either, suicide attempt they may want to spin, allergic reactions, especially to such medication, do happen. TO has no documented history of drug use and suicide by meds doesn't fit his personality still...best to wait I think!

Well, Mike G just had 2 reporters on from the Dallas Fort Worth area and they both confirmed the police report. Also, it is being reported that he ingested somewhere in the vicinity of 30 of these pills. Just relaying what they are saying is all.

If they are writing it, there has to be something MORE besides what they are telling you. Fact is that taking 5 of those pain medications won't kill you. I have had friends that have taken 5 vicodin in a night and drank 20 beers, and while the ended up feeling like crap, they were no where near dying.

It wouldn't surprise me if it were true though, I am guessing that with his type personality it is somewhat a common occurence, if you could have one in this situation

Publicity stunt. If he really wanted to commit suicide he wouldn't have took the pills right before his publicist was coming over.

It's unfortunate this ******* didn't succeed. He needs to come out of the closet or just kill himself. Nobody gives a **** if he's gay.

i know the other day parcells said the pain meds were making t.o. sick.. then the 'allergy' report which now is reported as an attempted suicide. it's a huge possibility that the meds themselves brought on the depression. many pain pills, valium for one, are known to have depression as a side effect. altho he's always been known as having a big ego, he's never been considered a 'troubled' athlete.

Yeah Zieg I agree.
I really can't believe he would try to commit suicide.
I'll have to see more info before I believe this.

i'm telling you....someone is suddenly on meds and then goes off the deep end. i don't think it's a reach at all to conclude this is a chemical problem!

I have little compassion for an attention whore who has let his team down repeatedly. How many chances should this guy get?

I stand by what I say. This was a publicity stunt. Everything with this guy is. He has the mental and emotional capacity of a child who wasn't loved enough by their parents.

people do not take their own life for publicity. yes, he has a huge ego and thinks he's gods gift. a huge ego does not make someone attempt to kill themself. i don't like the guy, his antics on and off the field are ridiculous. certainly not old school! BUT, what he's going thru now has nothing to do with any of that. as the team said, he has no MO that would show he would ever make this kind of crazy attempt.

suicidal people aren't thinking in a 'normal' way. after all, taking a human life, even one's own, is completely abhorrent to the vast majority of people. no one gets up and says, hey, i think i need some attention. i believe i'll try to kill myself.
in other words, your idea about this is completely incorrect. and coldhearted.

DFW radio is reporting 30 plus pills and a suicide attempt. Heck, they better put Jerry Jones on suicide watch also.
