paul secor Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 Quote from an ESPN story on Seau's death being ruled a suicide: ""Junior is a warrior. He played 20 years in the NFL as a linebacker. You have to be a warrior. Warriors conquer problems they face and they run at them," McPherson said Thursday. McPherson, now the pastor at the Rock Church in San Diego, said that's why Seau's death is so puzzling." Maybe one of the problems is this whole "warrior" attitude. Maybe, just maybe, the people around Seau were so wrapped up in seeing him as a warrior, who ran at problems and beat the crap out of them, that Seau felt isolated -- he didn't want to appear soft, so he didn't go to anyone. Mike Golic compared letting people - especially ex-teammates - know how you're really feeling to going to a high school reunion. Everyone wants their ex-classmates to think that they're doing great and that life since high school has been perfect. I commend Junior Seau's family for allowing the medical examination of his brain. It may help others. Quote
