Props to Michael Silver of SI
Of all the tons of Terrell Owens (see below) coverage I’ve seen/read today, this is by far the best, by Michael Silver of Sports Illustrated:
Right now, I’m tempted to go after him again, for what I perceive to be a whitewashing of the truth by him and his camp following Tuesday’s hospitalization. When I heard Etheredge complain that the Dallas cops were “taking advantage of T.O.” and insist that Owens “has 25 million reasons why he should be alive” (which shows a complete lack of understanding about the nature of depression, for starters), I have to confess I wanted someone to empty the contents of my stomach.
In my non-clinical opinion, if Owens did attempt suicide, immediately plowing ahead and jumping headlong back into the NFL fray isn’t the best idea. (Owens says he expects to practice Thursday and may play in Sunday’s game at Tennessee.)
That said, I’m going to back away from the circus for awhile and hope that Owens, and the people close to him, come to terms with the seriousness of the situation — that they begin taking the proper steps toward treating whatever ails him and let the mental health professionals drive the process.
It’s a weird situation, and they’re almost overcompensating to seem normal and to practice again. Props, Michael Silver.
