Re: Junior Seau Confirmed Dead
Not that I want to encourage or condone suicide but in the case of collision sport athletes there is an odd sense of honor in the self-inflicted chest wound in light of preserving the brain for future research. If for nothing more then the fact that it seems a painful way to go.

Didn't Duerson do that as well so his brain could be studied? Having lost several people to suicide it is never easy and hell if it ever makes total sense especially for the people left behind.

Kind of crazy though. I mean a lot of us have probably thought at one time or another how great it would be to be a star football player with millions of dollars and celebrity. Never mind a star player in sunny San Diego. However if he was suffering from depression brought on by head injuries to the point where he was willing to take his own life.....maybe all the money and fame isn't worth it.

Re: Junior Seau Confirmed Dead
This is so sad to see. I didn't want to post so soon after seeing the news just because it was so fresh. After living in San Diego for a few years as a teenager and seeing his impact on that area firsthand, he easily became one of my all time favorite non-Redskin players. It's such a shame to have all signs pointing towards his demons winning out and him leaving the world this way. Sometimes those of us putting on the bravest front are the ones needing help the most. RIP Junior I hope you're at peace now.
