I'm late, but I just saw Seau's mom's press conference after his death was confirmed. Maaaan, that was tough to watch.

Still hard to except. Coach Ross lives in my area - hoping to reach out to him this coming week.
I just wish he had reached out for help.

Brandon Marshall wrote something really thoughtful on the matter. He has bi-polar and talking about mental health in sports.
Quote:
Looking at the situation with Seau and other cases with retired athletes, I think our focus should be more on why the transition seems to be so hard after football.
As athletes, we go through life getting praised and worshipped and making a lot of money. Our worlds and everything in them — spouses, kids, family, religion and friends — revolve around us. We create a world where our sport is our life and makes us who we are.
When the game is taken away from us or when we stop playing, the shock of not hearing the praise or receiving the big bucks often turns out to be devastating. The blueprint I am creating for myself will help not only other athletes, it will help suffering people all over.
