TMZ Reporting Junior Seau Is Dead

[MadScientist]

Until one of my old students mentioned it on Facebook, I didn't realize that he's the 8th member of the 1994 AFC champion Chargers to die young already. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/cl...to-94-chargers

They sold their souls for victory? That's a bold claim!

They didn't get their money's worth, since they lost the SB big time.

Hooray!

You seldom fail to shock.

My honest reaction was SHOCK as this man was so recognizable to us for such a long time.

Here's loads on his life and career.

Doug Miller was struck by lightning??? Well, you can hardly blame that on football.

The Canadian News Nutwork is reporting that SCOTT CAMPBELL is the shooter.

That's a neat trick for a self-inflicted gunshot wound, but hopped up on enough Timmy's, you could do it!

Many of my ignorant American colleagues may not have any idea what "Timmy's" is.

I thought he was a terrible person. We're running a poll right now about hated players, why not express your "shockedness" over there?

[MJZiggy]

The Chargers issued a short statement: "Everyone at the Chargers is in complete shock and disbelief right now. We ask everyone to stop what they're doing and send their prayers to Junior and his family."

I hope no one who heard this was driving or operating heavy machinery. I read that he had a lot of things he wanted to do when he retired...

so sad from this news. I LOVED Junior. In middle school I wore #55 for football because of him (94-95 school years). He was such a great person with so much love and giving back that it's so hard to see something like this happen. The more these things happen the more I hope the NFL wakes up to these head injuries. Junior is the EIGHTH player from the 94 Chargers Super Bowl team that is dead...that's amazing to me, and saddening. I love this game, but it definitely has it's down side, much of which I'm concerned about with my own health in life. I pray Junior is safe now in the loving arms of God, and his pain is gone...no more sorrow, no more tears.

My niece is seriously pissed at him. He left his mother behind just a few days before Mother's Day. He also left behind a girlfriend, an ex wife and he's completely fucked up the lives of three children. She may have a point.

Or she may not. Neither of you are in any position to judge.

I'm not big on shooting myself either, but really... come on.

Her point was that she'd come close to suicide herself and when she thought of the affect it would have on others, sucked it up and dealt with her issues. And am I judging for making an observation and sharing a point that someone else made?

I think suicide is very selfish, I also think people who do it have inadequate support systems.
