Yur Momma thinks TO needs a good bitch slapping.

Enough already. One stunt after another just to keep the 15 minutes of fame going.

How is he a bad guy......has he been in trouble for the following that usually fits an NFL player?

Wife Slappin...
Drug Dealing...
Druge Use....
Drinking and Driving...

The day this happens is the day he takes time out of his schedule to talk to kids about abuse....

the guy has missed practice during the preseason from an injury,...and dropped a couple plasses while trying to catch with a broken finger during the season........... Yeah he's a media whore, but he backs it up with his game and off the field persona. TO supporter since San Fran.

what T.O. did or didn't do is none of our business.....and if this is true it is very sad....it just shows you that no one is perfect....even those that are great athletes that are full of themselves....hang in the T.O.....

i dont see why people and the media in general cant just believe that t.o. had an allergic reaction, it happens all the time to regular people but we dont get accused of trying to commit suicide but noooo just cause its him the whole situation gets blown out of porportion

First of all I agree with #8...HOW IS HE A BAD GUY?...he is guilty of nothing but giving NFL fans what they want entertainment...also if the NFL were to be truthful, he sales tickets which puts money in their fat pockets...He was on channel 4 the morning before the incident supporting abused children and I give him props for that...

Second, if he wanted to do a Media stunt why do a stunt about allegedly trying to kill yourself? think people let's not play into what the media wants us to believe...why could he NOT have just had a bad reaction?...or why could he not have just been disoriented from all the supplements he takes...sometimes if I go to the dentist and have a root canal the painkillers that they give me will put me on my ass and I couldn't tell you what I did or said after taking them.

SO instead of us thinking the worst give him "the benefit of a doubt" and hope for his sake that he didn't try to commit suicide...nobody deserves to have so much pain that they want to kill themselves.....HANG IN THERE T.O. ...The rain is always followed by sunshine and sometimes God will surprise us with a rainbow....

Ok, so NOWHERE does it say anything about a suicide attempt. Taking too many pills can be accidental of course. Werent the police just whining and saying they(T.O. and his publicist) were lying and the call clearly mentioned a suicide attempt? Not that police don't lie regularly or anything.
