and he is getting a little testy.
I just streamed it in on ESPN.com. Sounds like we won't get a lot of info from this conference.
and he is getting a little testy.
Apparently the Cowboys are waiting for more medical info.
Parcells has left the building.
He keeps saying that he has no knowledge on the TO situation and the reporters keep asking questions about it. No wonder he ended it quickly.
Yeah...I guessed they missed the part about "Coach will not answer questions about the Terrell Owens"He keeps saying that he will not comment on the TO situation and the reporters keep asking questions about it.
Mark Schlereth made a good point. If TO is out of the hospital and at home...why hasn't there been a meeting between the team and the player or at least the player's agent?
Owens Released
No Criminal Investigation, According To Police

Terrell Owens is expected to make a statement to reporters early Wednesday afternoon.
IRVING, Texas - A Dallas Police Department spokesman Wednesday morning very tersely said there would be no criminal investigation into the Tuesday night incident involving Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens being rushed to the hospital after suffering an adverse reaction to pain medication prescribed to him a week ago following surgery to repair his broken hand.
In the midst of wild speculation of an attempted suicide by Owens, who reportedly took an overdose of pain medication, Dallas Police Department Lt. Rick Watson at a 10 a.m. news conference held in downtown Dallas said, "In the course of this, in our investigation, we've determined that at this time, this is not a criminal offense. This is a medical type of situation in the incident that occurred."
Lt. Watson didn't leave his statement at that. He reiterated, "The Dallas Police Department does not have any other investigation going on, on this incident. Any information that you need, you'll have to contact Mr. Owens or you'll have to contact the medical staff.
"Do I need to repeat any of that?"
Multiple people with knowledge of this sort of incident and these types of investigations maintain that if this indeed was determined to be a suicide attempt the DPD would not be allowing Owens to leave Baylor Medical Center, as he already has, and that it would subject Owens to a 72-hour psychological investigation.
That Lt. Watson said one more time, "It's not a criminal offense" seems to refute the notion that whatever happened from the time a 911 call was placed Tuesday evening by Owens' publicist Kim Etheredge and the 10 a.m. news conference was not the suicide attempt that has been widely reported.
Etheredge told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that Owens "is fine . . . he will be leaving the hospital today." Owens in fact not only was leaving the hospital this morning, but to make a statement for reporters outside his residence early Wednesday afternoon. Instead, he now will address the media here at Valley Ranch at 2:30 p.m. (CDT).
Cowboys officials have made no comment so far on the incident, other than to point out a normal schedule of practice, open locker room and head coach Bill Parcells' daily news conference was planned for Wednesday as the team continues preparation for Sunday's game at Tennessee. Parcells' news conference planned for 1:30 p.m. (CDT) can be heard on DallasCowboys.com.
Owens has been taking pain medication for the past week, following his surgery on Sept. 18 to place a metal plate over his fractured fourth metacarpal on his right hand to help facilitate healing. In fact, Parcells said last Wednesday Owens had a bad reaction to pain medication and was sent home while the team had its first workout during the bye week. Owens returned to The Ranch on Thursday and actually did some running with the team on Friday.
As of Tuesday, when the Cowboys returned to practice from their bye weekend, Parcells hadn't ruled out the possibility of Owens returning Sunday against the ans (noon, CDT), a potential 13-day turnaround from last Monday's surgery. Owens didn't practice Tuesday but began catching passes, and Parcells said he thought Owens would participate to some extent at practice Wednesday.
According to Etheredge, Owens experienced increased pain and discomfort Tuesday evening, causing him to take a few of his pain medication pills. She also told the Star-Telegram Owens had previously taken some supplements and that "it kicked in a reaction.
"When I went to grab him, he was out of it. That's why I called 911."
Etheredge said Owens did not have his stomach pumped at the hospital and did not vomit, as was initially reported by several local news affiliates.
Maybe the Cowboys are planning on mailing Owens a "Notice of Unsatisfactory Work Performance" and he needs to be home to sign for it.
in the press conference I believe they said he arrived at the facility about 30 minutes ago. My guess they are getting his statement and briefing him on what to say at his upcoming press conference.
If in fact the worst possible scenario was true (in terms of the attempted suicide), then the media should back the off and let this guy rest. I hope that whatever is bothering this HUMAN is only temporary and I wish him nothing but the best. I mean, , poor guy.
I personally loved the guy that had the guts to ask about Terry Glenn's status
Agreed. And they need to stop getting there "Facts from a raw do ent"
What are you talking about? I'm defending this guy. I'm not spitting out facts or anything, only my opinion.
I think we're all missing the most important issue. Is he going to play on October 8th?
I the "worst possible scenario" is true, I find it funny that he even screwed that up.
I apologize I misread your post and immediatelly reposted to read correctly. My fault.
he can kill himself after he gets us a couple more super bowls
I just listened to the press conference (Bill's) and I didn't think he was testy or anything like that. He's always done that and for Bill, that seems to be nice.
He said that he knew this was a story and he'd talk about what he could.
Now, something I head right before I got off my truck at lunch that I specifically made a note about. At 1:22 p.m. CDT, Sal Palantonio made a of a point.
He said in his experience working copshop, police are called in because they're the ones trained to figure out what's going on, not the medical response team. In my copshop experience (albeit limited), that's true.
Nah, receivers are like the stereo in your vehicle. Everyone wants a flashy one that they can show off to their friends but in the end it's really not what keeps the car running.............and last time I checked, the car was being run by Drew Bledsoe, so sorry, no more super bowls for the Cowboys just yet.
no one ever said we had to win the superbowls with Drew Bledsoe.
Terrel Owens, if he does have mental health issues, is the less violent version of Ron Artest in a nuts .
I wish for their sake, and their family's sake, if they DO have mental problems, to PLEASE get help, and use the medication prescribed.
I wish for our sake that you'd shut the up.
Remember this guy?
