TMZ Reporting Junior Seau Is Dead

[pbmax]

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

Clearly standing under the goalposts for pictures in a thunderstorm was a bad idea.

Seau drive off a cliff last year and there was chatter some of those investigating it thought it was a suicide attempt. He claimed to have fallen asleep.

Schefter reports Seau did not appear on any injury reports listed as suffering from a concussion. But he was listed 6 times for bell ringing.

Cowbell? Sorry, is that too soon?

well, at least he had the good sense to leave his face and head intact for an open casket.

Or to send his head to Boston to have it examined.

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?

Your niece thinks its selfish -- got it, that's novel.
I've thought about suicide too but that doesn't make me some expert who can be called in to comment on all other suicides. She has no idea where he was at or what caused that. Some people have real issues, others "cant live" because their boyfriend dumped them... I'm not defending it by any means, but it just seems like a pretty strange comment to say he fucked up his kids lives and all that. It's not easy for them I'm sure, but if they were on the right track, they aren't going to end up in prison tomorrow. A little too soon to start with the women's lib angle.

Maybe wait a day or two... this is the only place on the net that I've seen jokes and digs about the situation all day. Sad.

Yeah. Chill out.

Good looks, great body, lots of dough, divorced...come on man!

Whoa...you sound like Freak Out at a gay bar.

Spoken just like a man who's been to a gay bar with Freak Out!?!?

Could be. Comparisons to the Dave Duerson suicide are already being made. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/colum...son/54709254/1

Late in his life, Duerson pleaded guilty to domestic battery.
In 2010, Seau survived that 30-foot plunge in his SUV (he told authorities he fell asleep while driving) hours after he had been arrested on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend. He was never charged.
Duerson shot himself in the chest, an act which preserved his brain for study.
Police say Seau apparently shot himself in the chest as well.

I'm just pleased that you decided to remain with us.

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.

Given how bad these things can go, I say maybe this worked out as well as it could. Absolutely you'd like to see the guy get help and recover. But, given that he didn't, it's a blessing he didn't kill anyone else on the way out. Here in Cleveland a guy at the Cracker Barrel barged in on his ex-wife and two 10 year-old daughters celebrating their birthday and shot the mother and one daughter dead on the spot. He took half the brain off the other daughter and she is currently in the ICU on a machine. Police shot him dead in the parking lot. So given what happens all too often, I say it could have been a lot worse. Seau gets my prayers for God's mercy on his soul, and, if he contemplated killing others and only took himself, he gets some of my admiration too.

That's a good point.

Me, too...Scott. Glad you didn't do it, Mission. Things can get bad quick, but life is way too precious to just end it.

[Scott Campbell]

I could never take my own life. My wives would kill me.

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

I do NOT hate. Hatred is a self inflicted wound to one's soul.
