OT Junior Seau

[nickh0801]

Reportedly shot and killed himself at his home about an hour ago.

Self inflicted wounds to the chest...

Yea, I just saw that.


Wow.


If it's true that's sad. Wonder why?

Well, I considered him a first ballot HOF type guy up until now. I wonder how this will impact that. It really shouldn't matter, but I go back to Jim Tyrer and wonder.

Horrific news.

[RavensQB]

Really sad....

[mommathurgoesthatman]

God bless him

[HoustonRaven]

Wow.

Wonder how many concussions he's had in his career.

Very sad news indeed.

[dandrews]

Very sad.

Have to wonder if the 20 years of violent collisions triggered some form of depression. Makes me cringe everytime I hear someone say the game is being "pussified"

Anyway, RIP Junior. Died way too young

[TheJoeFlaccoShow]

He has been having problems with the ex wife. He got arrested for assaulting her a little while back and then drove off the side of a cliff trying to kill himself after that. He claimed he just fell asleep at the wheel but after today it is clear he just didn't succeed the first time.

Terrible.

Seau is the 8th San Diego Charger from their 1994 AFC Championship team to die prematurely.

This article is a bit old and only lists 6, but it's worth a read. From car accidents, to suicides, to plane crashes (ValuJet crash at that), to overeating, to double lightning strikes, it's been a cursed group of guys.

That's horrible. He was a true legend of the game. I've seen very few love playing football as much as Junior Seau.

Mental Illness rears its Ugly head once again! RIP Junior!
