Did Terrell Owens Lie ?? - New England Patriots Forums

SamBam39 · 09-28-2006, 10:09 AM

It was obvious to me immediately after hearing the news break yesterday, and then hearing it start to be pulled back, that Owens & co. were going to go into total spin control. Shut down the fire station talking. Shut down the police station talking. Schedule news conferences to 'set the record straight'.
same old, same old with athletes in trouble.
total cover up and denial.
wasn't the least bit surprised to see Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin spouting their support for his story as well. And the Media all followed along - not wanting to come across as politically incorrect, of course.
but I didn't buy a second of it. To me it was as obvious as the light of day from the moment it started that it was all just total lies. why do you think those people directing them during the press conferences were so anxous to get them in and get them off quickly? they knew, the longer they stayed out there, the more likely they would say something to blow their cover and get their storied mixed up. It was so apparant. The woman when asked about pulling the pills from the mouth started stammering 'their might have been some pills that fell out' and quickly started claiming she was mixed up. Just so ridiculous. And it's really a complete insult to the american public's intelligence that they expect you peope to but this. But I guess he had to to keep from losing his big salary.

yeah, yeah, I know all about how TO has a problem, and it's serious and we should respect that and feel sorry for him and hope he gets help.
gotcha.
thanks for that.

But what I'm interested in is, how many of you people buy his BS?
What percentage of the folks on this message board actually swallowed his story and think he isn't lying? I'm just interested in seeing the breakdown.

By the way, I find it very interesting as well that ESPN doesn't have a poll for this as well. they almost always have a poll right away asking what people really think about key issues of the day, especially those involving a 'who do you believe?' type of scenario. the reason is the same as all the median types acting like they buy his story - afraid of being critisized for being insensitive to this guys tragic issues. I think it would be very interesting to seee espn get nation wide results to who thinks TO is lying...

MAKE A POLL ABOUT THIS PLEASE....

we'll seee who believes him and who does not.

I don't believe either him or his whore... er i mean "publicist".

I seriously want to know, is it that hard to catch footballs for a little bit after you have had your stomach pumped from the night before??
HE HAD TO DO THIS
HE HAD NO CHOICE
everyone is acting like the is the defining proof that he didn't try to kill himself.

I don't think it would be hard to run routes and catch a couple balls after this.

Poll Created

I meant to create this as a poll, but the stupid thing told me I had to create it within 5 minutes of posting and i didn't realize there was a time limit, then I forgot to click poll again. it's out there now.

anyway, yeah, I don't think there's any question about it. I think you gotta be blind to not see it for what it is.

his publisist was claiming the police report was a complete falsehood! and yet - surprise! - they're not mad about it! why? cuz they really know it's true and so they can't be mad at them! too funny!

Question - did you take the pill sout of his mouth?
Publisist - um, well, some might have fallen out, I don't remember! right.

if you know anything about people at all, you can totally see right through this entire circus of lies, immediately and without any doubt. total coverup - per usual with rich atheletes. spin control.

Keegs · 09-28-2006, 10:28 AM

she doesn't remember??

Thats complete B.S. unless she took the pills too..

How the HELL could you not remember something that crazy??

Even if i was ****faced i would remember every second of it.

You do not forget things like that.

Especially since she's a "publicist" and T.O. is her client making 25 mil.
You got a client making that much and something happens where he almost dies, you f-ing remember.

Sean Pa Patriot · 09-28-2006, 12:41 PM

Owens is only in love with one thing himself, wish he go away..

scout · 09-28-2006, 12:59 PM

Are you freakin' serious? Did you expect ESPN to have a poll asking if TO was lying about not attempting to commit suicide? That would be more in line with Nancy Grace on CNN.

Mainefan · 09-28-2006, 01:05 PM

I didn't buy the suicide story from word one and I don't buy it now. TO is obviously telling the truth, as he remembers it. Just ask yourself this, if you doubt it: why in the world would TO commit suicide?

Exactly! I agree

I actually do believe it was a mistake. Who knows in what state his mind was after mixing hid medication.
