It will be interesting to see if this is attributed to depression due to too-many-hits-to-the-head.

This...along with the use of enhancements that some players will go to no end to gain an edge. Thier bodies and minds are just not right. Did I hear correctly that Seau was the 8th player from the 94' Chargers roster to have died. Tragic!
Was a shotgun also found? Sadly, maybe he thought the handgun wouldn't do the job? Given this info though, along with being a "blast to the chest area"...maybe foul-play here?

Really sad. He was one of the greatest players of his generation and always seemed like a really great guy. One does have to wonder if it was related to concussions.

Hello there
Ya terrible news. One of my favorite players. I liked the Chargers back in the day solely because of him. Crazy fucking player and awesome to watch.

Terrell Suggs is out for the year with an ACL injury.
Edit: Watched the speech by Seau's mom. Wow.

Taylor Twellman, Seau's neighbor, is on ESPN now. He said that he once got a concussion playing soccer, and Seau asked him if he was okay, and he said he has a really bad headache. Seau mentioned to him that he "had a headache for a long time now" or something like that and that he can't count how many concussions he had, or something to that effect...guess that's not really surprising. I'm sure they'll take a look at his brain. I fear the worst after considering the Chris Henry case from a couple years back.

Actually it was a torn Achilles injury. As an Eagles fan I feel the Ravens' fans' pain.
That defense will still be one of the NFL's best, but losing Suggs does takes away their spark.

Pretty cool article showing what the Eagles have collected from the McNabb and Kolb trades.
Cliff notes version:
Eagles trade: McNabb, Kolb and an early 3rd (Texans picked gaurd Brandon Brooks)
Eagles receive: Nate Allen, Casey Mathews, Demeco Ryans and a late 3rd (QB Nick Foles), Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Vinny Curry and Brandon Boykins.
It's still early, but if Allen and DRC shape up this year, that could be three solid starters and 2-3 solid role players for a past-prime star and a bust. Of course, Kolb could still turn things around, become a franchise QB and make the Eagles look like fools, but that is appearing to be a less and less likely scenario.

He was the best OL in the NFL. Now I wonder if he'll ever play again. Tearing his Achilles twice in about a month...
No. He was one of the best. Not the best.
