Years ago I would have said its an easy way out and for some it still is. Others have real mental illness and that clouds the judgement of an otherwise normal thinking person. I guess seeing a close friend or two deal with depression is what changed my mind. It's sad.
I always like Seau as well and this case is gonna really ramp up that lawsuit against the NFL. Sad his family has to go through this regardless of his reasons since the result is the same. Hope he at least had some financial smarts and had his family set to move on without him.
