Junior Seau was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

I'm watching ESPN and seeing his mom and team mate Marcelius Wiley talk about him is heartbreaking.

RIP

      I came across this - Game Brain: Profiles: GQ

      Let’s say you run a multibillion-dollar football league. And let’s say the scientific community—starting with one young pathologist in Pittsburgh and growing into a chorus of neuroscientists across the country—comes to you and says concussions are making your players crazy, crazy enough to kill themselves, and here, in these slices of brain tissue, is the proof. Do you join these scientists and try to solve the problem, or do you use your power to discredit them?

    It's terrible. Easily one of my favorite Patriots from the mid-2000s teams. Suicide too. RIP big man.

    I read about that last night, and was wondering why a suicide would shoot himself in the chest. Turns out he left his brain to be studied, and maybe that was why. Unfortunately it gives the person a few more moments to wonder 'oops, should I really have done that?'

    A very sad way to go. Not that there is an upbeat, happy way to go.

    That was horrible. Several have died from that Super Bowl winning team and Junior Seau is the latest.

    Rest in Peace

      They actually didn't win the big game. I remember getting a ring for Junior was a big motivator for a lot of players on the Pats; and the look on his face when they lost it in '07 was devastating.

    He was a great player and seemed like a good guy (even though he played his last four years for the Patriots). Anyway, I guess we never know the pain some of these people in the spotlight face in their own lives each day.
