Junior Seau

Junior Seau, a long term NFL linebacker for the Chargers, Dolphins and Patriots died this morning of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Whenever someone of that stature kills themselves it seems that they either received news that they're terminally ill, or something is coming that is going to ruin them financially.

If its 1 of those things we will find out as the time unravels. Its a shame anyway.

I've just about had enough players killing themselves. Or getting killed stupidly. I lived with some of that for 15 years. And we weren't even major league players. But I still experienced it.

I am not saying that the wealthy and famous don't have problems or deal with depression but for all the opportunities these people have had and they can't deal with life.

Its hard to feel sorry for such athletes.

I have a Husband who worked his you know what off to stay on teams and was there to make the best of what he did have and never cried about not being a New York Yankee or LA Dodger.
