   Just terrible news about Junior Seau yesterday, what a tragedy!
   Met him once in Desert Hot Springs, wonderful man, superb athlete, you just have to ask yourself why things happen, everyone has their demons...
   Enjoy life, people, no real time for anything else...

   While we don't know yet, the odds are it is CTE, and not personal demons. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy is caused by brain trauma that leads to a build up of protein that is degenerative and makes Alzheimer's look like childs play.

   As an honorary member of S.O.S. since '84, my heart goes out to his momma and children.

   If anyone earned CTE in the NFL, his 19 year career would've done it.

   I enjoyed watching Jr play, and feel a bit guilty about it now.

   I saw yesterday that he texted his kids to say he loved them right before he shot himself.
