Junior Seau has apparently punched his own ticket today. According to the preliminary reports, it was a self-inflicted gunshot wound that ended it. Suicide. For reasons we couldn’t understand, even if he would have explained them to us. Which he didn’t.
I am a Packer fan, so there’s no connection with team angst involved here. But there is a quiet tear shed for someone who was a great competitor, who never put himself above the game and who actually got out on the waves from time to time. In spite of the fact that he was a New England Patriot – for a short time, anyway – he will be missed.
RIP
