I'll never forget his emphatic fist pumps after making a tackle in the back field. Wish he could have won the big one in 2007. RIP Junior. -

I am assuming his alleged suicide had a lot to do with coping with life post-footbal. It's really sad. I can't imagine the toll that being a professional football player takes on the body, especially to guys like Seau who grind it out until they just can't play anymore. Football was important to that guy, even when he likely knew he'd suffer the consequences after his career was over. -

Very tragic. Was a decent man off the field and a great player on the field. Hope all is well with his family.
The real tragedy is that TMZ reported it and one our posters cited them as a news source. -

Patriots statement on the death of Junior Seau: "We were shocked to hear of the initial reports regarding Junior Seau earlier today and are deeply saddened by the news of his death. We were fortunate to have had Junior join the Patriots in 2006 and are thankful for his many contributions to the team over the next four years. He had a legendary NFL career and his unrivaled passion for the game quickly made him a fan favorite here in New England. This is a sad day for the entire Patriots organization, our coaches and his many Patriots teammates. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to his family and his many friends who will mourn this loss.” -

Sad. One thing I will always feel bad about is that we didn't get him that Superbowl ring. A great guy. -

Just heard Bru on ESPN radio, talking about how Seau was beating everyone to the stadium, and Bruschi was in the building by 6am on work days. When you're at work several hours before Tedy Bruschi, that speaks volumes to your passion and professionalism. I hope you've found the peace that eluded you Junior, RIP. -

very true, I'm torn on what should/can be done about it...there's an inherent level of collision in the game, I can't say I have a solution that would seriously change that without fundamentally altering football. I love this game, I love watching it, and I fully recognize that the choice to play is just that-a choice...but it's becoming so apparent that the cost can be enormous. -

It doesn't mean he didn't have any, but the late, great Junior Seau never was listed on an NFL Injury report as having a concussion -

Does anyone care who we took with the 48th pick in this year's draft at this moment? Tragic loss that puts things in perspective. R.I.P. Junior.
