No, just short-sighted.

dickish. How ironic

If Seau pulled the trigger, who else would you hold accountable for it?

Yep. And it is sheer lunacy. There is implied consent there that should relieve the NFL of any punitive liability.

How funny would it have been to have a pun thread when DT died? It wouldn't have been.
It's classless.


This is very sad news and just goes to show the concussion thing is very real.

Wow. Didn't see that coming, but probably should have.

It's probably not just concussions, but the proliferation of both performance enhancing drugs and recreational drugs, in addition to concussions, basically the same thing that's been plaguing professional wrestling in the last decade. It's a pretty vicious cocktail, and the NFL is probably counting their lucky stars that he wasn't far gone enough to do what Chris Benoit did.

Lew Bush died? I must have forgotten that.

Go **** yourself, Harrison. Better yet, go off yourself.

The players need to be a hell of a lot more cognizant of this stuff among themselves. There hasn't been honor among thieves with a lot of these thugs in a very long time.

Maybe at some point asshole headhunters like Harrison will realize that there are consequences to scrambling someone's !@#$ing brain.

I don't know about Seau's history of concussion, but the simple fact is that he chose to slam into other players like shown above. And, he was rewarded for it.

I wouldn't have any problem if they were to just ban guys like Harrison from the league.

What I'm saying is that it's not a ****ing matter of accountability in the first place. It's a horrible thing that happens. Pretending that there's a person to blame instead of it being the result of a confluence of various risk factors is pointless.

They'll just turn it into the pro bowl. And that'll be the end of it.
