You know it's only a matter of time before a medical professional will ask to examine his brain and check for any connection between concussions suffered while he played that might have led to depression.

So sad.

I'm in utter shock. Damn! The man was a straight up BEAST. Hated him because he was a Charger, but I totally respected him. GREAT player. This is so tragic.

RIP Junior. :cry:

I believe my second favorite game is going to change completely.

How are you going to change it? 2 hand touch? Not let lineman block?

I don't see what they can do. Maybe teach guys how to tackle and not throw their bodies and heads around.

RIP

Just saw his mother losing it on Sportscenter, as well as ex-teammates.

Sad, and for sure it will take no more than a week before links are made between concussions, depression, the nature of football, maybe roids, etc.

Wouldn't be a pleasant way to go. I wonder why he chose that instead of a headshot... maybe trying to make it (relatively) less traumatic for the family to find him?

He's the second ex player to realize all the hits to his head drove him batshit crazy after he developed CTE. No way my sons are playing football. It's becoming epidemic.

I think the helmets do more harm than good. These guys think they invincible with those things on. And because of it, like you said, no one actually tackles anymore.

Man, my heart was breaking watching his Mom. Tragic. I wished he had realized that he was worth "troubling" his friends for help.

I don't think I care for everyone showing his mother and family grieving. Goddamn, let them grieve in private, leave them alone. That was completely gutwrenching. :cry:

Lame, fucking lame. Go kill yourself, no one will grieve for you.
