I guess they wanted the person who called the police to speak. But when she did, she made herself, Terrell (and black folks, to be honest) look stupid.<BR/><BR/>I agree that the $25 million reasons to live comment was stupid. What does that say?

Because of course, he should base his value on his pay. <BR/>I pray that he has more positive people around him. His rep is just transparent. If he thinks she has his best interests at heart, he'd better check again. What he thought was a heart is actually a vault, it's all about the money--FOR HER. It's times like that when you see where someone's priorities lie. If he is having a problem, he needs to get someone who really will put him first, not his pay check. <BR/><BR/><BR/> I cannot begin to imagine how surreal it would feel to paste a smile on my face and reassure the media how happy I am, if I were depressed. I hope it was an accident.

You won't have to worry about life's basics and you'll have more opportunities and less stress. However, once you reach the point where your needs are met and you have enough to do the things you enjoy, having more money doesn't seem to buy the same increase in happiness. It's a case of diminishing returns, a flattening of the money vs. happiness curve. The intangibles in your life -- spiritual well-being, health, and satisfaction with your family, work, hobbies, etc. -- seem to me to be a better predictor of your happiness, and they can't be measured by the size of your bank account.<BR/><BR/>Tyrell Owens is probably finding out that his fame and fortune aren't enough to fill the empty spaces in his life. And he may be suffering from depression or some other mental illness. I feel sorry for him and hope that he can work through his troubles. (His $25 million may not make him 25 million times happier than the rest of us, but at least it will get him decent mental health care!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1159536637631149592006-09-29T08:30:00.000-05:002006-09-29T08:30:00.000-05:00Funny that this story struck you, as it struck me ...Funny that this story struck you, as it struck me as well, and I couldn't pick TO out of a lineup either...<BR/><BR/>I too am a bit appalled at the comment you mention - the American Mentality at work - sigh. However, I didn't hear that quote, what I heard was that TO denied a suicide attempt, and that he would play th next game. Um, hello? He was found unconscious from a drug overdose, so there is a PROBLEM here - either the man is depressed and OD'd on purpose (a cry for HELP?) or has a drug addiction and OD'd by accident. Either way, life ain't right for TO, and seems like playing the next game is just foolish.
