Junior Seau dead, probable suicide
North County Times reporting Seau "found dead by a housekeeper of a gunshot wound to the chest."
https://twitter.com/#!/LATimesfarmer...55054793560065 Junior Seau Dead Cops Investigating Shooting Cops are currently at Seau's home just outside San Diego. Seau was 43-years-old ... and leaves behind 3 kids and an ex-wife. Seau was a beast in the NFL -- skyrocketing to fame thanks to his explosive play with the San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. The USC standout was selected in the first round of the NFL draft in 1990 and played in the league for 20 years. Seau was involved in a car accident back in 2010 when he drove his SUV off a cliff in Carlsbad, CA hours after he was arrested for allegedly attacking his girlfriend. Seau later said he was not trying to kill himself ... insisting he had fallen asleep at the wheel. http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/02/junior-seau-dead/ Last edited by Quesadilla Joe; 05-02-2012 at 12:35 PM.. |

What kind of practical effect do you think it had, though? If you do WestLaw search for case and motions referencing Twombly, you get something around 120K matches. It's like 10x more than 200+ years of cases with reference to Marybury v. Madison.
Practically, it was a huge deal, no? |

Horrible news. Of course I made fun of him when he was playing with a rival team, but he was one of those iconic players. I had a tremendous amount of respect for his ability. Just a very sad turn of events.

I get that making fun of someone's death is politically incorrect. But one of my best friends is a Charger fan and has made a TON of DT death jokes over the years. So I've been texting the jokes I've read on here and apparently they're not as funny as his...

This is a guy I respected. He was a hard-hitting, passionate pain in the ass to us, but I don't ever remember hearing anything about him on or off the field that would make me despise him. Now, the day some turd like Sharpe or Romanowski offs himself, I'll have a ****ing field day with that. |

Well...yeah. If someone is a dick over and over, I can understand wanting a bit of turnabout. And this isn't an obituary. Some people joke about these things because that's how they deal with it. Some people joke about it because they don't feel a strong emotional connection to the situation. And some people are just dicks.

I didn't know Jr. Seau, and I didn't know much about him. I can not imagine the kind of pain that makes some one kill themself. I feel sadness for his family and friends. I won't be lowering myself to joke about his death. I am embarrassed that my fellow CP'ers here feel compelled to do so.

The place was probably full of Chiefs fans though.
