Patriots just issued a statement on their website.
So sad. He was such a leader and good teammate.

People on the internet making jokes about this stuff, bringing the patriots into this. It makes me sick that people would take shots like that right now.

It does seem like there is some momentum building against the sport and maybe there will come a time when it starts to lose it's popularity because of it. Maybe if there are some lawsuits that come out of all these incidents then there will be some major changes.
Right now the NFL and the NCAA just make too much money for them to consider anything as drastic as what the article talks about (banning college football). But how many parents want their kids to play football?

As i got home and turned on ESPN, it was true.

I have been a die hard Charger fan for many years. because of the way you played, the way you were on and off the field, i can say made me PROUD to be a Charger fan.
Sad day indeed!!!

My take on that SI article posted above.....that possibly, and I stress the word possibly, that Junior Seau sacrificied his life to educate us on the trauma the sport has on the brain. I personally can't see him as the type that would have problems bad enough that would bring this conclusion to his life.
I am saddened by the news. Lets hope the truth comes out and some good can come of this. I hope Junior didn't take his life for nothing.

there was a possible incident a few years ago that was originally reported as a possible suicide attempt by Junior but he denied it. he drove his truck off a cliff after being questionned by police in a domestic dispute. he said he fell asleep at wheel but there was some talk that it might have been a suicide attempt then. not judging just letting you know that there may have been some previous issues there.
time for change...
time to protect the players we love
I think it is also time that the players also try to protect themselves.
Its a shame that Junior dies and it i shard ti take but what we need is all sports to come together including the players and make changes.
I agree
I thought after I said this about all the men and women across America
who hold jobs detrimental to their lives,
who have all through history, who will into the future.
They risk their health or their lives daily.
They do this just to feed their family, the backbone of our country not
getting millions of dollars a year but just enough to get by
with nary a thanks either.
There are people in or around the town of Oceanside, Calif., who just got an express trip to the place where the red guy with the horns and pitchfork does his business. There are few things more disgusting that a robbery that affects the family of a man who just died, but that's what happened last week to the family of Junior Seau.
Just five days after the great linebacker took his own life, some sorry excuses for humanity broke into Seau's home, went through cabinets in the garage, and stole a bicycle that belonged to a friend of Seau's.
Oceanside police Lt. Leonard Mata said that the stolen bike is gray with chrome fenders and a black seat, and there are 143 spokes in each wheel. Whoever broke in didn't enter the house -- just the garage. Nothing else was taken. The estimated value of the bike is approximately $500.
On May 7, at approximately 9:35 a.m., Seau's girlfriend placed a 911 call indicating that she had found the body of the future Hall-of-Fame linebacker in a spare bedroom of his home. The death was suspected to be, and was later ruled, a suicide.
Seau, a 12-time Pro Bowler and 6-time First-Team All-Pro, was selected fifth overall in the 1990 NFL draft after an outstanding collegiate career at USC. He played with the San Diego Chargers through the 2002 season, spent 2003-2005 with the Miami Dolphins, and then signed with the New England Patriots in time for the 2006 season. In New England's perfect regular season of 2007, he played in all 16 games and started four. Seau first retired after that season, only to come back and play in 2008 and 2009 before finally leaving the NFL for good.
"I'm going to go surf," he told Showtime upon his January, 2010 retirement announcement. Whatever happens, I can honestly say, that that probably was my last game."
Seau committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest, which is similar to the way former Chicago Bears great Dave Duerson ended his life. Duerson shot himself in the chest on February 17, 2011 -- the method used so that his brain could be examined for symptoms of CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), a trauma-induced disease common to NFL players and others who have received repeated blows to the head. Seau's family has considered, and reconsidered, donating Seau's brain to science so that he can be examined for CTE symptoms. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutd ... 13892.html

I always respected him as a player (even when he was with New England, and I hate the Patriots).

They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
