RE: Junior Seau has Died!RIP!
So sad to hear. I loved watching him play. Hate times like this when i have to add a dolphins player who has died to the list.

I can't say I disagee with you because I always figured suicide is the easy way out from pain. I do think I have a lot to learn on the subject before passing judgement though. If anything, maybe not feel sorry for him, but for his family instead.

Sad day....Less than a month ago, I met his girlfriend at Fridays restaurant through a friend of mine. She was happy, talked about Junior a lot, saying how and he was and how he contributed so much to the San Diego community. RIP Junior Seau. You will be missed!

RE: Junior Seau has Died!RIP!
The family are the ones I feel bad for. With the amount of money he made he should have been able to get help somewhere. Killing yourself is not the answer to your problems though. I guess that's the reason why his struggles don't play a part in my opinion. Especially if you have kids. Imagine what this does to them. If his problems were so bad that his kids going through this is better than him handling his I guess I can see people's points.

ESPN hasn't reported it yet because it allegedly didn't involve wire tapping

As Someone who has seen Suicide first hand i think your are off the mark.. Alot of times when someone takes there life they actually believe they are relieving the Burden they put onto others not to get away from there own problems.
Suicicde is one of the most Selfish and selfless ways to Die at the same time.

RE: Junior Seau has Died!RIP!
This was the most shocking thing to read tonight when I jumped online. It's a sad day for sports for sure.
For those who have never experienced suicide first hand you should stay quiet. You have no idea what causes this. A lot of times its not near as selfish as it seems. A lot of times the person doing this is actually doing it with the belief they are doing what is best for those around them. I have lost two people I new close to suicide.
