RIP Junior! One hell of a football player!

Lethality rate of chest shot in upper 90 percentile range. He may have wanted to leave his brain intact for autopsy.

who shoots himself in the chest?
My first thought as well...
And we think we live for football...

If you were in the NFL 3 seasons ago after a 18 year all-pro career you aren't "broke and in the gutter", that's for sure.

I was just trying to find an old Seau jersey of mine yesterday. Never did find it.

I hope he really didn't kill himself, that's such a cowards way out- he has children and IMO that's the most selfish thing a person with kids can do!

This is a really ignorant point of view. Yes, suicide hurts more than just the one who commits it. Typically, one has to be mentally ill (ie. depressed) to take things that far. You don't understand what's going on in their brain so don't call it selfish.

No its selfish. Now if he was a POW and being tortured that's a different story.

all kinds of ppl commit suicide. not just mentally challenged people. (?)
on a lighter note a terrible loss, seeing the footage of Seau's mother talk to the press was enough to believe sucide affects everyone, not just the person doing so, which is why I hope he didn't commit suicide. In a way it does make him look bad...I almost dont believe it.
He helped the community, had a family and a great living made from his Pro career....why shoot yourself in the chest?

No, you're an idiot and are displaying that you have zero understanding of mental health.
Well considering I've dealt with a bout of depression and have had family members who have dealt with it I have a better understanding then most. Suicide definitely crossed my mind at the time but I still had the wherewithal to realize it wasn't all about me and the pain and suffering it would've caused my family. Have fun feeling like a dick.

Sorry to hear of your trouble, but obviously you weren't depressed enough to not think clearly and kill yourself.
I wish at some point these damn cameras are turned off. This woman didn't need to be filmed at the lowest point in her life. Who the hell wants to see that.
I am 100% serious here, had I been in the crowd I would have asked the camera be turned off out of respect for a grieving mother. Had it not, I would have bounced it off the camera persons forehead, then smashed it to the ground.
Come on! What the heck have we become??

I read somewhere recently that a staggering 78% of NHL and NFL athletes post retirement go bankrupt. It's possible he was hard up for cash and in the gutter. Who knows honestly but this is crazy.
Why would he kill himself for cash. Life insurance policies are void on suicide.

Oh there were definitely times it seemed like the logical decision but I was lucky enough that my family stuck with me so I always knew in the back of my head how it would affect them. I feel terrible for those that have to go through it without any family or friends that support them unconditionally. If you ever have to deal with someone with depression the absolute best thing you can do is make it known that you care. It doesn't seem like much but it can make an unbelievable difference.
As far as the media coverage of Seau it is sickening but there is a bit of a silver lining as well. It shows those that might be considering it the pain and anguish you put the people that really care about you the most through. It makes it more real. Part of the thought process is nobody will care when/if you're gone and maybe, hopefully, after seeing some of the coverage they'll start to see the implications or consequences of their actions. It might seem a bit farfetched but if I've learned anything from my past is that there is always a positive, regardless of how negative you precieve the situation. Granted I highly doubt that's ESPN or any other media outlets intent with their coverage.

I never said mentally challenged people, I said "mental illness." There is a difference. If you don't understand this difference, listen to people who do.

Taco. That's good for you. Seriously. Not everyone who is suicidal can take a step back and look at the pain they're going to cause others. All they see is the pain that they're in, and that it would be easier to be dead than alive. That's not selfishness, that's mental illness. I, too, have suffered from depression/had suicidal thoughts. I'd never act on that urge because, like you, I know that there are too many people I would hurt. This doesn't make us more morally correct than those who DO commit suicide, this just means we made a better choice than they did. What we went through, mentally, does not compare to what happened in Seau's brain. Until you've attempted to kill yourself, quit acting like you know where these people are coming from.
