It's been widely reported this morning that Cowboys' wide receiver Terrell Owens was admitted to a Dallas hospital last night with was thought to have been a suicide attempt. Owens had been under a prescription medication to fight the pain for a fractured right hand. Details concerning the incident are said to be sketchy and the Dallas Police Dept, are not treating the incident as a criminal act .

A first responder who was at the scene in his capacity as a medic has stated that Owens himself admitted that this had been a suicide attempt , when questioning the football star as to what medications he had taken. He was admitted to a Dallas hospital where he's said to be in a stable condition. That hospital where he was admitted is Baylor University Hospital , which by now must be under siege by the press.
Where this leaves Owens' immediate future with the Cowboys is open to question but one thing is assured that this one incident alone has put a serious dent in the Dallas Cowboys' ambition to win the Superbowl. Coach Bill Parcells must feel vindicated in his belief that although taking Owens was a risk , as it was bound to have its problems. But nothing like this had been envisaged. Dallas Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones must be wishing that he could retrace his steps and see where he might have dropped the ball in signing Terrell Owens. In the second year of three year $25 m contract of which $15m was guaranteed this situation could either lead to an acrimonious paritng of the ways between Owens and the Cowboys or a period where things are put to rest and the organization starts all over again. That's nothing something that appears to be on Parcells' agenda as it was widely believed to be his last year in Dallas
One would doubt that he would want to remain in Dallas to deal with Owens and another impending incident. Jones on the other hand knows that Parcells might be only person around that coud deal with Owens and his antics and still coach the Cowboys to success.
Say what you will but this has been an interesting start to the season for all those involved with the Cowboys' organization.
( It has since been reported that Owens has been allowed to leave the hospital after having been cleared to leave by the medical staff on duty )
