Damn Junior, you dead.

I think Dave Goldberg on Twitter has said it best:

Let's put away the instant degrees in medicine, sociology, psychology. RIP junior. Too Soon Gone http://youtu.be/xwCLqEx9nDY

Yup, I was depressed & had the same thoughts in High School due to a medication's side effects. Looking back on it, it's still hard to understand where my head was...even though I lived through it.

Sweet Lord of Mercy, this is terrible news. The Chargers kinda became my AFC team when LaDainian Tomlinson was drafted by them. Seau was only there for a few years while Tomlinson was there, but he played the game hard. What a man; what a player.

This. I too have put words down on paper in a suicide note; sounds like the exact same way you did it. When I did that, I was acting rationally based on what I thought was reality. It's only by the grace of God that I was interrupted by somebody who eventually helped me before I could pull the trigger.

If there is anyone here that suffers from depression or who has had suicidal thoughts, now is the time to get help. It's not a stigma, it is a mental disease that can be eased and sometimes cured. There are many ways to help yourself, and you are not alone. Please get help if you need it, even if it's just a friend to talk to, or a doc to listen. Please...

So Tragic...R.I.P. Junior Seau

Wow, what the hell. Just saw this in OS Neighborhood, thought it was a bad joke or something. I only rooted for the chargers once (against the 49ers in the Super Bowl) but Seau was always one my favorite NFL players back then.

Man, this is terrible, especially for the children. How old are they?

RIP Junior.
