Wow, that's hard. He didn't want to mess with his brain. Insane to kill yourself and not make it instant. Talk about suffering.

In a tragic coincidence, Seau becomes the eighth member of the 1994 San Diego Chargers, who lost Super Bowl XXIX to the 49ers, to die at a young age. The others: Chris Mims, David Griggs, Rodney Culver, Lewis Bush, Curtis Whitley, Shawn Lee and Doug Miller.

Well it only took a half hour and Sports Center didnt even have the info to say he was killed.... Just a shooting at his home.

You must be referring to those poor excuses for sports news networks.

Or.....It was a San Diego drug cartel that lost a lot of money on that game.....

Wow, ESPN STILL doesn't have the Seau news up. Because no one is actually dead until Mort can corroborate it from six other news sources.

ESPN just reported that the Chargers have confirmed Seau is dead. Schefter and Tim Hasslebeck both spoke about him.

Awful Announcing @awfulannouncing
Anyone criticizing ESPN for waiting to report the Junior Seau death doesn't remember what we sadly went through with Joe Paterno.

IIRC Dave Duerson did the same so that his brain could be studied. Sad stuff.
