Non-offensive Junior Seau headline here

Re: Say "Owwwwwwwww"

Luckily for Seau, that cliff is not a straight vertical drop. I'm sure he made initial impact after only a 10-foot drop or so.

Still, if he escaped serious injury, he's probably pretty lucky.

 

Re: Say "Owwwwwwwww"

Deion Sanders tried to kill himself by driving off a cliff.

TO tried to kill himself with pain killers. (He denied it.)

Vince Young was rumored to be driving around thinking about killing himself.

Broncos WR just killed himself a few weeks ago.

Now Seau.

Probably none of them have anything to do with taking repeated shots to the head for years and years.

Go fuck yourself

It's possibly related. It's also possible that a certain percentage of the population deals with depression and the NFL is no different.

 

Re: Say "Owwwwwwwww"

If Chris Henry is any indication, the hits to the head magnify troubles already present in the brain.

 

Re: Say "Owwwwwwwww"

Between him and Merriman, good to see some Chargers are at least beating someone.

 

Re: Say "Owwwwwwwww"

Deion took repeated shots to the head?

 

Re: Say "Owwwwwwwww"

Had to be from Baseball because I've never saw him attempt a tackle on the football field.

We also need to add Herschel Walker into the possible brain impared. He tried to kill himself when he was with the Vikings.

 

Re: Say "Owwwwwwwww"

If anyone *didn't* take repeated shots to the head, it's Deion.

 

Re: Say "Owwwwwwwww"

No more call please ... sick as it is, WE HAVE A WINNER!

 

Re: Say "Owwwwwwwww"

Could be drugs.

 

Re: Say "Owwwwwwwww"

Certainly, shots to the head might be related to an increase in suicide attempts. But steroids also result in greater incidence of suicide attempts. Depression is the common denominator, and it can be caused by a great many things. The bottom line is that the NFL needs to supply these players with good access to counseling and do some digging to see why this stuff happens.
