They basically didn't say anything.
He said that there was information that was released that he doesn't know how it was released but that he's not going to address it.
I have had a family member deal with depression. I am not a huge TO fan but I hope that if he is truly fighting this, he gets help.

I think it can be for either. Not sure though.
On the Ticket this morning...there was a report of his publicist offering an explanation of he was taking suppliments at the same time and got the two mixed up.
I don't buy that.
I imagine the Cowboys Press Conference will be similar.They basically didn't say anything.

I bet your family member didn't have more money then God and didn't have the greatest job in the world and didn't have a perfect life.......etc.
I agree with you, depression is bad news and sad when someone has to deal with it. I just think most people have "real" problems when dealing with it.
If you're medically stable and not a threat to others, I believe in almost every state they can't hold you against your will.
The other thing is, after someone has taken a big dose of narcotics, you ask them only one time were they trying to hurt themselves and they say "Yes", I don't know how reliable that answer is. I would think they have to re-address that after the meds have worn off.
Of all the supplements I've taken, I don't recall taking any of them 40 at a time.
Yeah, that Howard Hughes guy had no excuse for mental illness.
Yeah but taking 40 pills of pain medication would totally with your liver and you wouldn't be medically stable. That's what doesn't make sense to me.
Howard Hughes was insane. There is a difference between insanity and depression.
You are right...because I would have asked for a loan.I bet your family member didn't have more money then God and didn't have the greatest job in the world and didn't have a perfect life.......etc.

The thing about depression though is that it can be different for different people. A star athlete is no less vulnerable to it than anyone else. Different factors are involved depending on the person. Just because someone may have a perfect life, doesn't mean they can't be depressed. My relative, we all thought, had a great life. She never seemed down.

Ok, did your relative ever attempt suicide? And tell me to shut up if you don't want to even discuss this, I won't take offense.
No she didn't but she considered it.
Her biggest fear was her children finding her body.
One of those children being me.
yea but have you seen how big he is?
They are talking about this on Cold Pizza now.
Skip Bayless must be happy with all this.
Well I believe the hospital/police can't say anything because of HIPPA law since it's not a criminal matter. Hopefully the Cowboys shed some light on it if it's a misunderstanding.
See, this is an example of someone actually thinking about others. It probably isn't ideally what you'd want to be the reason someone chooses life over death but at least it's thinking about loved ones.
People that commit suicide have lost hope and the ability to reason with themself in order to make a decision to live. They do not think about anyone else other then themselves and that pisses me off.
Now, people that have failed a suicide attempt are probably the most confused human beings as well as lonely human beings on the planet. The few days afterwards being the toughest part. This is when (from what I've personally seen) the time in which the patient can see all of their family and friends come to their side and either make a decision right then and there, do I want to live for these people or do I attempt again. From the times I've been around it I've been fortunate to see people that have made the first decision rather then the second.
Therapy afterwards, of which there is a lot, is mainly to make sure the person continues to heal because for the most part they made the decision to live or die right at the beginning.
I have no idea why I just typed that............here...........TO tried to kill himself because he's humiliated being a Cowboy..........I feel better now.

I can't stand Skip Bayless.
It's hard to know what is true in situations like these.
You said hard.
From Cold Pizza a few minutes ago.
One of the many, for lack of a better word, version of what happened.
Clarence E Hill JR. -Fort Worth Star- Telegram- via phone interview
Hill said he talked to Owen yesterday.
Hill says that while he is no psychiatrist, Owens certainly did not seem depressed to him. Said that Owens was looking forward to playing in Philly next week ( i.e. seemed in a good state of mind)
Clarence Hill has spoken to Owens publicist, Kim.
This is what he said, she said.
Kim told Hill that reports of Owen's attempting suicide are untrue. Kim said Owens had a bad reaction to some ( I believe pain) pills. Kim said Owen was not trying to harm himself; did not swallow thirty pills. According to Kim, Owens did not have his stomach pumped and did not vomit and will be released from the hospial later today.
I'm 95% sure the Cowboys will say it was a misunderstanding. Unfortunately, that could either be true or it could be damage control.Hopefully the Cowboys shed some light on it if it's a misunderstanding.
Maybe fame and all the scrutiny got to him.
Sad to say but he brought a lot of that on himself..maybe the more he became depressed the more outrageous he became to try and snap out of it.
Just a thought.
It will be interesting to see if that's what his publicist actually says in an official statement. The second/third hand information that's being told in the media isn't doing anyone any good.
Obviously he wants his privacy but I'd think at some point his publicist or the Cowboys will give a statement with some real information.
