Football players have been asked by researchers to donate their brain after they die so the effects of all the collisions can be studied.

He was emotional, but he kept his composure and talked about how big of an impact Seau had on him despite only playing two seasons with him.

Real talk.
I was born & raised here in SD and today San Diego lost it's finest Son
The guy was a class act on & off the field.
Him, Tony Gwynn, and Trevor Hoffman are SD's sports icons.
No other athletes past or present (Tomlinson, Rivers, Fouts, Gates) will ever come close to these three guys in SD.
I was just in complete shock and at a loss for words today when I found out the news.
RIP

man the part that got me was when he was saying something like....we already know youre superman on the field, we were your best friends, you couldve told us what you were going through so we couldve helped you...then he started choking up, and so did i
those comments really put it into perspective...like he spent his whole life/career being a leader and setting the example, but its very possible that he was struggling and he just couldnt let his guard down. so damn sad.

I loved watching Seau play in college & in the pros. Also loved all the Dennis Hopper/Stanley the RefNike commercials. Here's the Seau one from '95...

Heard Wiley's comments on the radio this morning. I was trying to distance myself from this because it's so sad, but had to listen....Too deep.

I liked him as a football player and he seemed like a cool guy. Can't say I feel bad for him though, Suicide is not always the answer (It's selfish).
I feel bad for his mother. Watching her almost had me in tears, The video was painful to watch. Sad, Sad, Sad.

RIP Seau
I'm not totally convinced this was suicide. I just don't see someone bout to kill themselves and say "wait let me not put the bullet in my brain so they can study it when I'm finished; let me shoot myself in the chest instead."
Have they announced the relationship of the guy at his and Seau yet?

Another NFL player did that before. He explained why on his suicide note.

RIP Junior, to a legend on the field and by all accounts an even better man off it. Don't want to speculate too much, wonder if the combination of his divorce in 2010 and apparent head trauma from his playing days was too much to bear. Still have to watch the comments from his mother and Marcellus.

But Jr. didn't leave a suicide note, so thats what leaves me to think theres more to this story.
At any rate I hope his family gets the right answers behind all of this for the proper closure.

But this is why it's beyond my comprehension. Committing suicide is the most selfish thing anyone can do. But to have the wherewithal to think "Let me be SELFLESS and GIVE my brain to science" is the most UNSELFISH thing he could've done. Totally blows my mind that in his moment of death he was both as selfish and unselfish as he will ever be.

Man, listening to Marcellus Wiley nearly brought me to tears. Raw, pure emotion. "We were here for you, man. Why didn't you let us know?" Mike and Mike said Junior texted his ex-wife and kids, "I love you," on Tuesday night.
