For the people saying s**t like "good" and "too bad he failed" that's completely f**ked up. He might be an assh**e but that's still a person no matter how big his bank account is. Just because your not a fan, you want him dead?
To bad, this man has real problems. He's such a great athlete, I hope he can get his life in order. People have to realize that this is a human being, just because he's on TV doesn't mean he still doesn't feel pain or any other emotion every other human feels. S
ESPNews this morning said he ingested 35 pills, with five left in the bottle (I haven't actually read this article on Digg yet, I dont know what they're reporting) - so that might be the cause for the "ZOMG HE TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF!!"
Money nor success is a cure for depression.. pyschiatry is your only hope. There is something wrong with you when you contemplate suicide. Even the smallest, most insignificant insects have the will to survive...
If he had them seperated into one of those pill organizers along with his supplements then it'd make sense. He said that he had them organized with his supplements and that they were arranged together in that drawer. The empty bottle was just sitting out in the open and people saw it and made some assumptions based on how things looked at first glance.
Maybe it was on purpose, maybe not. But remember a few things:1. It is well documented that the guy has been screwed up in the head since he was a kid. Many people have tried to help him and he's always refused. This didn't start last week, last year, or his last spin with the 49ers.2. A lot of diggers are pissed that others are joking about it. Guess what? TO will be cracking jokes about it all season just to spin it, regardless of the truth.3. If you tried to kill yourself, TO wouldn't give a s**t if you did it in front of him. He's step over your body on his way to his Bentley.4. I'm sure there were many successfull suicide attempts in the last 24 hours, but nobody seems give a s**t about them. The media has found a juicy lead with a "everyone look at me" poster boy and they're running with it, including digg.com (over 900 digs in 7 hours?). We're no better than Fox News on this one.5. Not a one of us will lose any sleep over it tonight, no matter how sympathetic we want to be. It doesn't make us bad people. It's just the way it is. Most of us are more passionate about sharing our opinions about a subject than we are about the actual subject of the discussion.
ignoranceunleashed thanx for pointing out that this thread is not about mr. Fastow. Your powers of observation are mythic.You really got me on that point. Oh I get it now - you hate him because he is undignified. And all along I thought it was because you were a jealous moron white dude who is bitter that black men dominate the NFL and make more money in a season than your lame white football heroes did in their whole career.And I guess I am really not sorry for being "intolerant" - hope I didn't hurt your paying to play football , non bigoted, non clown shoes wearing, dignified acting, non media circus causing, white ass feelings.You are just the moron I was aim at. :) And I never said that I was tolerant.
If Anyone finds this I want you to know. This message is from the future. You are our only hope. A man named Barack Obama will become president of the United States, he is African American. Tragic Events involving many Celebrity's lives will take place. Chris Brown will be together with Rhianna, he will kick her ass in a car. Kanye west is an assh**e. Most importantly digg will be overrun with "Power users" they will take over the site and soon the world. Oh and the banking and financial system of the United States will fail to due the greed of banks, the stock market, and just most people. Also they will phase out French Toast Crunch.Please somehow, save us.This message was brought to you by - The f**king Future.

I find it hard to believe TO would kill the only thing he ever loved. Unless he's crying inside.

there's no such thing as bad publicity . . . more people will go out / watch football / buy merchandise.
