This Sarah Phillips thing is definitely what pushed him over the edge. Fact.
May 2nd, 2012 at 2:26 PM
Eli did everything he could to get Seau a ring. Blame Tuck and Samuel.
May 2nd, 2012 at 2:27 PM
Maybe in his death, Seau will stop being mistaken for Shawn Merriman.

I don’t remember which it was, but WFS said the funniest comment I’ve ever seen here (the Dahmer one), and you have the second, I think.
May 2nd, 2012 at 2:28 PM
Yeah, except, Fuck Eli.
May 2nd, 2012 at 2:28 PM
He’s at the scene, making sure Seau’s drugs don’t go to waste.
May 2nd, 2012 at 2:28 PM
For once, people will care about what Rodney Harrison has to say, being a teammate of Seau in SD and NE.

Yeesh, what a sad story. I know when people get so depressed they are suicidal they aren’t rational, but I’ve always struggled with how a person can go to such great lengths to plan their exit from this world – sending texts to family, then going to bed like it was any other day – without pausing for a moment to figure out what help might be available to them.

That’s what happens when you’re severely depressed and suicidal. You’re so stuck in how much you hate yourself and you hate your life that you truly believe no amount of counseling or anti-depressants can do anything to make you feel better.
May 2nd, 2012 at 3:02 PM
I have to agree, it was amazing that Alfred Pupunu, Tony Martin, Stan Humphries et al beat the Steelers.
Even considering PIT had home field, a halftime lead, and the ball on the 3-yard line at the end of the game.

And who knows, maybe he exhausted a lot of those options and didn’t feel they helped. If these guys’ brains are deteriorating as quickly and severely as the doctors seem to think they are, maybe there really isn’t anything that can be done.
When teenagers kill themselves they always worry that other depressed teenagers will see it as a way out and follow suit. I wonder if we’ll start to see more and more of these from former players.
May 2nd, 2012 at 3:07 PM
Everyone has put in their two cents, even the Chargers have released a statement of condolences, and ESPN is still sticking to the “there was a shooting at Seau’s home, there are ‘reports’ that are ‘unconfirmed’ of a death”.

There was kids on my boy’s 7th grade football that had concussions. every kid took the test prior to the start of season to set a baseline for each kid. couple kids who got concussions during the season never back on the field. some of these kids are playing against others that are 220-230lbs with full pads. scary as shit.
May 2nd, 2012 at 3:14 PM
And yet ever since the concussion issue blew up a couple of years ago I’ve always thought football could go on if you changed the nature and fundamentals of the game. For example, a better emphasis on form tackling rather than trying to blow a guy up.
The biggest problem is that generations of players and coaches have thought that a helmet makes you invincible. I’ve heard it suggested half-seriously that the easiest way to remove head injuries from the game is to get rid of helmets. Obviously that’s far out there but there’s something to be said for the idea.

im of the opinion that these new concussion “preventing” helmets encourage players to use their heads as a weapon since it’s “safer.”

It is the same thing for runners. People are starting to realize that all the cushioning we have in our shoes are actually causing us to be injured more often. The cushioning is forcing our legs to hit the pavement harder and putting more pressure on the muscles. Could be the same iwht helmets. We have softer and safer equipment, so the harder hits don’t seem as bad because of the cushioning. The brain though is still getting jostled around in our heads and there can’t be something to stop that. Maybe no helmets is a better idea.
May 2nd, 2012 at 3:24 PM
Without any data to back me up, I can say it’s better for a number of reasons:
-(basically) no pads = less incentive to launch yourself at opponents
-penalties for high tackles, which is anything shoulder level or above
-no down and distance, discourages ball handlers from fighting for every yard and leaving themselves vulnerable and defenders from having to knock the offense backwards. Tackle made where ball carrier gains 2 yards after contact is just as good as tackle made where you drive him backwards.
May 2nd, 2012 at 3:24 PM

Exactly. Anti-depressants don’t work over night and they’re more effective if they’re paired with talk therapy. There are a lot of guys who will rule out therapy without even trying it because talking about emotions isn’t “manly.”
