Junior Seeya?

I kid. Definitely sad. This guy was kind of ubiquitous during the 90s. It seems like he was everywhere. It seems like he was the face of the NFL there for a bit. His foundation also did a lot of great things for kids.

 

[rillo561]

Wow, RIP.

 

[uhavenosole]

Damn R.I.P one of the best to ever do it

 

[sundoobie]

RIP Jr. Fitting that it's gloomy out here in So Cal today.

 

[ill legal operation]

Son was that dude in his day...

...R.I.P.

 

[supersic97]

r.i.p. junior 

 

[glasses]

Damn, this dude was the man. Few days ago I was going through my old jerseys and came across Seau and I had to just stop and hold it while looking at it, bringing back all the memories of him. Then this happens. RIP

RIP.

Yep.

That's why I always find it funny when I here people say the league gone soft, especially when its coming from 5'4 120 lbs cats

I'm sure playing football accerbated it but Seau struck me as a guy with some issues in general can't say I'm surprised.  Life's hard man.

 

[AZwildcats]

RiP to junior. Ill always remember his beastly days with the dolphins/chargers.

Ill save the suicide discussion for a couple days out of respect. RIP

 

[User 37837]

[mf doomer]

wow...

I hate to be a jerk and say it, but at what point does it take for people to realize that shots to the head will leave repercussions down the road?  Seau didn't think about this when playing football?  I'm sure ALL ATHLETES realize the risks involved with sports.  If that's the case, they might as well outlaw MMA.  I personally dislike the promotion of such sport anyhow.  Still, the issue of a concussion and his suicide cannot be bridged together.

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.

Could be the case. I had completely forgot about him trying to drive off the cliff a couple years ago too. He's been dealing with this pain for a while

So sad

The concussion issue was huge as is, it's going to explode now  

Just read that Seau wanted his brain donated to doctors so they can run test. He said that he wants to prove that football made him mentally ill. R.I.P. SEAU. 

It'll be interesting the effect this has on Football from Peewee through the NFL.

EVERY headache or anything resulting from Football probably needs to be monitored way more extensively. And there needs to be more ability to actually tell a player "NO, you're not playing".
