Thats terrible. There was another incident involving him not too long ago where it was suspected that he had attempted to kill himself.

Terrible news. Dude was a bad ass linebacker.

RIP Junior.

A lot of speculation about a suicide note being found and him wishing to donate his brain to science because of the hard hits he took. I haven't found any concrete evidence in any story that says this. They are blending this into the stories of Dave Duerson and Terry Long. Damn media.

He will always be remembered as a Charger and not in that damn Patriots uniform they show pictures of him in.

This will be spun in such a way that the media, who generally are people who never played a day of football, will try their best to tie this into the vicious hits that these players took and delivered.

The hypocrisy of it all is these same media outlets will be the first ones in line to show highlights of players get jacked up.

The solution to the head issues is the coaches, teams and players need to go back to basics and teach actual tackling technique instead of missile technique.

This may not be popular but I have nothing good to say about a guy who took the cowards way out. Watching his mother grieve and ask why was heart wrenching.

In my early years I dealt with a suicide of friends twice. It destroyed their families and left everyone asking why and taking some of the blame. He was a great player and it's horrible he chose to leave his mother and family to deal with this.

Sorry if this ruffles some feathers but it is personal to me.
