Or one more piece of evidence for the whole head trauma thing. Sounds like he shot himself in the chest much like Dave Duerson did, so I expect they'll be able to shed some light on whether that was potentially involved.

Concussions from football made him suicidal? Is that a thing?

Duerson left specific details - he shot himself in the chest so they could properly study his brain. |

You call it an accident. I call it justice.

I can't fathom why anyone would commit suicide by shooting themselves in the chest... way too much room for error and too long a duration as opposed to the alternatives. There had to be something to it... |

As a football fan, Suggs is one insane beast and will be missed.... As a Browns fan...  |

I'd thought Seau commited suicide because he couldn't deal with post-NFL life properly. It's gotta be tough to be such a long time player which that many accolades. When something that intense has been part of your life, every year, since childhood... That's tough.

Depression and dementia (another serious issue stemming from concussions) will really hurt your chances with dealing with life. |

There's a definite link between chronic pain, depression and repetitive head trauma.

Saw that. It's a HUGE deal for them. Lewis is declining and Suggs was their main LB star. That team has missed their window for a Super Bowl. Flacco has proven he can't handle the big games, IMO. He almost lost them that Houston game. |

My sports boner continues to grow over how poorly the Taints are dealing with this issue.
And I love the fact that they still haven't offered their only salvation a contract. Tell you what Saints? If you don't want to deal, I'm sure Jerry would love Brees's phone number.

Yeah, not giving the keys to the kingdom to Drew Brees this late in the game is just pants on head retarded. The man pretty much saved your fucking franchise (along with Payton, of course). He won the only fucking Super Bowl you ever got to. He loves playing for you, he loves the community, and his squeaky clean image makes your entire franchise look better. It should have been handled a year ago. If you can't afford him, you should fucking trade him for a lot of future picks because by God, you know you could get a king's ransom for him.

Yes he's a special brand of failure on that one.

HA! The NFL can't win on this one. If they agree there was a cap, then the players win. If they prove there wasn't a cap then the Cowboys and Redskins win.

Or they could just lawyer their way along and settle. Which is very likely going to be what happens.

Settling doesn't mean you win. In fact, I'd rather fight the player one and let the Cowboys and Skins off the hook as that costs me nothing.

I wasn't looking for winning. I was looking for mitigated lose and shifting the story to a point in time when no one will care. Of course, most fans don't actually care about the machinations of millionaires anyway.

Well it went through arbitration that fell on the side of the NFL.

I heard of it yesterday when I read EW's 12 Best Singles of 2012 So Far story. 10 out of 12 I couldn't finish listening to. I'm OLD.
