RIP Junior Seau

From an apparent suicide. For those east of California it's hard to tell you how big an icon he was. An USC All-American, a larger than life person while with the Chargers (his charitable work was legendary). Was listening to Marcellus Wiley who has a radio show here in LA and was a former teammate and close friend of Junior's and trying to describe what he is going through at the moment was heartbreaking.

 

Damn. That's really all I got. He was a class act and I'm shocked by the news. RIP Junior Seau.

 

Such a sad thing when someone takes their own life. It so much worse for everyone he left behind....

 

Suicide is horrible. And often times, though not always, preventable. Sad that a young man who had accomplished so much in this life chose to end it.

 

RIP Junior. Very sad news and a very unsettling trend of altruistic suicides may be developing. I hope we can find a way to pull back the reigns on professional sports.

 

Listened to Taylor Twellman on Sportscenter who was a friend and neighbor of Seau's when Junior was playing at the end of his career w/the Pats and Twellman at dinner was telling Seau of his headaches from his concussions and he said Junior laughed and said he's had a headache for about a decade. This is so eerily similar to Dave Duerson who shot himself (former NFL Man of the Year, philanthropist, who went through depression/early signs of dementia) in the chest and left a request to have his brain studied.
