Too bad. I remember hearing them call his name Seau and thinking say ow. Good name for a defensive player.

This is so sad. My prayers to his family.
Annoyed that ESPN waited almost an hour to report on the story because they were too busy slamming the Saints. #priorities. It also angers me that so many people are blaming football for Junior's death. NO ONE knows why people take their own lives, and I'll bet football had nothing to do with it. |

![]() For a station that prides themselves as "the worldwide leader in sports," they sure pick and choose which breaking news stories to report on. |

Sad, it appears he must have been dealing with some serious symptoms and just decided life was not worth living in that condition. A lot of players have died from that SB team from 94, I believe it's 9 or 10.
