He had the ability to read a play, shoot through the gap, and make the tackle. So many times...Awesome! I was always impressed with his instincts.

I prayed the night before the draft that Jr. Seau would be our #1 pick, and it happened. He was all about football and I hope it wasn't his fall from grace. His problems at home seemed to be  a difficult split from the guys and the sport. I saw pics in retirement and the only happy ones were on the beach. When he went to Miami he had somemore to give but it was evident that his best years were behind him, then new England where he really was some help off the bench. Then wham, it's all over. A Restuarant to sit around and talk of the old times, not Seau. He lost 2 of his greatest loves, his Family, then his Sport, now his life. He gave Chargers fans some of it's best thrills on Defense, the interseption against the Broncos that helped them extend their season. He was always giving outside the sport to his community. This is one of if not the saddest day in Chargers history. Sports should be a game but it becomes an addicition of sorts, you live it, and it becomes your other family. Next to the militery I don't think there's another occupatiopn where there's a closness between employees. The impact of loosing your youth and your abilitys to where your separated from the things you loved so much is tough. I lost my job of 30 years to a disability in 2007 and I'm just starting to handle the deep depression I fell into when it was there yesterday now it's gone. It caused friction at home do to my depression, and my thoughts went very black at times. Boltbeat was one thing that helped me let alot of my emotion out.         So farewell to my favorite defensive Charger and I hope his family prays for him as it's hard to understand why someone takes ons life ( IF that is what he did) but take it from me you become a different person. The world seems dark and prayer was my way out. This dare not dent the reputation Seau had in his life, it just leaves all with a sadness that will take time to heal.
