If there is one thing I learned this week it is that TO needs TO to help TO!!! His publicist has "25 million reasons" to be his friend and to save his life, but it is obvious that Kim Etheridge only cares about Kim Etheridge.
Is Bill Parcells going to rescue Terrell Owens when he is in need of help? No sir! Not if he is sleeping or it would interupt practice. Does Mr. Parcells honestly believe that all of the nation knew TO spent the night in the hospital, but he did not have a clue until 10 minutes the next morning before practice. PUH-LEASE! Then he treats what the world thinks is an attempted suicide as just another TO incident. Now maybe it was just another TO incident but at that time it seemed like a life threatening event. Something a good coach would know about, care about, have info on, and that he would have, should have helped the player. But that jerk Parcells didn't even talk to TO. He has been pouting and treating TO like he is not even a human since the day he arrived in Dallas. He more than likely drove the guy to the point of pill popping insanity and then shows no remorse after "that player" is getting his stomach pump.
Now back to the publicist. SHE called 911. SHE said he attempted to take his life. SHE said she was trying to take pills out of his mouth. Then SHE blames the media for blowing everything out of the proportion. SHE makes TO think that everyone is out to get him. SHE should have taken the blame. A good friend and publicist would have apologized for overreacting. SHE should have said "I panicked, I am sorry I thought it was attempted suicide, my mistake I just was so worried." Something like that would have actually made sense and cleared up the issue. Instead she blames the media and denies everything she said before and says "I forgot."
These are the people that are supposed to save TO. These are two people that are supposed to be his friends. And what if Terrell Owens DID attempt to take his life. Then he needs some serious help.
And not help from people who just want him to score touchdowns or can only think of 25 million reasons to be his friend.
sportsnuttz.... You and I know that TO marches to the beat of a drum and that drum is his own and he's the one playing it. He's not going to heed the advice of anyone from the Cowboys' organization let alone from a professional.
He feels that he's OK and that's enough for him until there's another episode of his own making and then he'll be out there once again in the glare of the spotlight just as he wants it with the world paying him attention.
