RIP as long as he didn't take someone else with him or something.
I really hope that he didn't shoot himself in the head, as I wonder how fucked up his brain really is/was. |

Suicide would match with accidently driving off a cliff last year.

I imagine many head injuries. And frankly, I don't see how you perform at the level he did for as long as he did without some roids/HGH.
I'm not looking to crap on the guy. Just speculating that combo could lead to this tragic end. |

Yeah, I am not seeing it on mainstream media yet, NFL Network, ESPN, CNN, etc.
No mentions on ESPN Radio yet.

ESPN hasn't found a way to take credit for reporting it yet. Once they figure that out, they will be all over it.

Just like the John Edwards story they can't stand being "out-scooped" by what they consider to be inferior media so instead they will act like it didn't happen. EDIT: Chief Rum said it even better.

I'm just surprised that it hasn't been mentioned on the radio. Nothing. Even the hourly update didn't mention anything.
How can SVP not mention it and talk about the other stuff instead?

I think there's probably a different standard for some outlets when it comes to reporting deaths. You like to be sure. The San Diego news websites just say that there's a bunch of police around Seau's house and that a neighbor told them that the police told him that Seau shot himself. That's what it is, one neighbor, that might not be enough for the mainstream outlets. I'm sure in 10 minutes it will be everywhere.
Edit: TMZ claims "multiple law enforcement sources", which is interesting, as apparently when the big news go down, the cops with loose lips call up TMZ (or they have pre-existing relationships with TMZ). Last edited by molson : 05-02-2012 at 02:01 PM. |

Nor should it be. I read "reports" yesterday that Tyler Perry had died in his studios fire. It was likely rooted in one guy nearby saying hed heard it was possible that Tyler Perry was inside.

I'm sure Chris Nowitzki has already been in touch with the family. And I don't mean that in a negative way, it's kind of a necessary level of haste when you're dealing with human organs.

He's the 8th memeber of the 1994 Chargers to die before the age of 45.

For what it is worth, we will look back on today as the day pro-football began a long,slow death spiral that will result in the death of the NFL in particular, and football in general.
As has been said many times by people smarter than I, the massive brain-rattling injuries are not the issue, it's the repetitive, concussive, smaller blows to the head that players endure 20-50 times a game that causes the long term brain damage. First, pee-wee leagues and high-schools will cease to exist after the insurance costs get prohibitively high. Once high-school football is gone, the college game will disappear due to the same insurance reasons plus the lack of the high-school talent pipeline. After that, the NFL goes away, or at least becomes this century's boxing or horse racing. |

Football does this to people. The consistent head trauma, even in high school players, screws with the human brain. I am not trying to make a simplistic "football = suicide" argument here, but more raise the point as to how long we're ok with what is basically gladiatorial combat for our age.

Wow.......this is just tragic. Ever since he drove off the cliff a while back, I was worried about his state of mind. Never knew what was driving him to think this way. Damn....

As crazy as this sounds, I could see something like this happening. As much crap as Goddell takes for trying to clean up the game, he might just be doing what is necessary to maintain the game.

I don't necessarily agree with this becoming the defining moment of brain trauma causing the end of pro football. But I agree with the sentiment. I wonder what kind of data might be found if you were able to correlate former HS football players with prison inmates. Especially those who played concussion prone positions like DB, LB, RB and (option)QB.
I won't have a son, but if I did, I would only want him playing one of the line positions. |
