Junior Seau committed suicide

[gaseousfashion]

He was only 43 years old too.



The city loved him.

Man, I can't even comprehend the state of mind dude was in...


But after watching the videos of his mother and M. Wiley, I can't help but think "why did you have to do that to your Mom dude..."

You have people fighting for their lives day in and day out at the hospital, but here you have Seau comitting suicide?  What good is killing yourself?  He could've put himself up for clinical tests and done better than to just end his life.  Still, it is tragic.

Also, SMH at the upcoming weeks and months about how heroic and great this player was. ESPN will be all over it, his picture will be on the cover of magazines with quick durations, much like Joe Paterno.  The whole process will rinse and repeat, 'again'.  But most of all, SMH at the 'after-the-fact' revelations about how they didn't know he had mental concerns.

Not sure if funny, but Seau proally hurt a lot more people unintentionally with repercussions not in the media.

Please sit down in a corner and shut up .

Dang RIP. When I was in San Diego last year I specifically went to Seau's because I was such a fan.

 

[lou baton]

That video of his mom made me tear up.

 

[staystrong]

I hope they retro his nikes rip to one of the greats

 

[ninjahood]

Sad...RIP

I hope this heightens the discussion of repeated hits to the head + steroid abuse over an extended period of time.

This is all too Chris Benoit !$%.

I got word this morning.

RIP.

supposedly the average life span for an NFL player is around 52-55.
