RIP Junior Seau

Indeed a sad day in sports. The one time Charger, Dolphin and Patriot was found dead in his home. Police have agreed that the cause of death was most likely a suicide. Seau, who was never listed on an injury report for any head injuries throughout his career, left a note earlier asking that his brain be donated to research to develop further knowledge on head trauma. Obviously his death raises many questions as to whether or not we don't yet know enough about head trauma and whether or not the NFL is doing enough to monitor the health of player's brains. I feel that the NFL is in the beginning stages of becoming more comfortable with assessing the status of concussions and head injuries. You have to wonder how many game Seau in fact did play with a concussion though. His death, an apparent suicide, begs this question. Some speculate that this isn't the first time that he tried committing suicide. Back in 2010, Seau drove his car 30 feet off a cliff after a domestic dispute at home. You have to wonder what the state of his mind was and whether or not the lack of concussion knowledge back then was to blame for the depression he most certainly suffered from. RIP Junior.
