Did Terrell Owens overdose on drugs? This was a major national news event of the day; so much so that they interrupted coverage to bring us the TO news conference. Why everyone is so concerned about TO’s health while there are plenty of people out there overdosing on drugs ever day should be the real story. We have troops in Iraq dying almost daily, although we hear about them briefly on the news the troops receive no where near the same kind of attention that we give TO and many other sports and movie stars. Why is that? Why do we care so much about what is going on in TO’s life and not in the lives of our families and in the lives of people who are making real sacrifices for this country. We are just feeding TO’s ego and encouraging him to do crazy things by giving him exactly what he wants more publicity and fame. I say who cares if TO overdosed or had an allergic reaction, not that we shouldn’t care at all about this man; I say lets worry more about our families and the real heroes instead of building TO into some sort of sports god.

Did TO overdose it is entirely possible; although hydrocortisone can cause allergic reactions; the way he talked about it did not indicate that the hydocortisone is what caused the reaction, but that mixed with pain killers with other “natural” supplements, sounds strange to say the least.

Again we can speculate all we want, but what real concern is this to us? Are we really worried about Terrell Owens as person or because of the enjoyment we get from seeing his performance on the field or on a fantasy football team? If this is the case then It should be very little cocern if any, so lets stop living vicariously through these athletes, lets actually worry about the people who we can interact with and can communicate with, if we have not access or an experiential way of interacting with these people what good are we doing by worrying about them lets stop pretending like these people are a part of our lives, we have family and friends to worry about, if we should happen to cross paths in real life with one of these individuals then lets have concern for them, but until then then why allow ourselves to become emotional involved in these peoples lives. The world would be a lot better if we instead worry more about people whom we have interaction with in a personal way and experiential way.
