Also simimilar to Eagles strong safety Andre Waters who shot himself in 2006.
Waters had issues and depression from concussions.
I'd say there's about a 99% chance this is at least somehow attributable to brain damage caused by concussions on the field.

NFL=WWF
I think there are a lot of things that contribute. Not sure whether it's all brain damage stuff, probably some steroid stuff in there too.
You have young guys that gets lots of money early on in their lives, that begets the "mo money mo problems" issues. (wives, ex-wives, child support, hangers on, failed business ventures, etc..) Also there's the fact that when you have something, you actually have something to lose. Once fball is over and the money is over, guys get desperate.

The average life span for an NFL player is 52. I would bet that Chargers team is about average.

Damn, that's crazy!
And people wonder why a guy like Robert Smith would quit in his prime.

The weirdest one is:
"• In 1998, LB Doug Miller was struck by lightning while camping in Colorado. CPR was being performed on Miller when he was struck again by a second bolt."
God wanted that man dead.
Who's Junior Seau?
I was first
Why oh why couldn't it be teddy bruschi.
I've always told people that if I was capable of playing pro football the only position I would want to play is kicker or punter. You still make a good salary but rarely take a hit.
And you don't know any of this as a fact relating to Seau.

How did you arrive at 99% probability? 98% seems much more probable, and equally made up like your number
Didn't he attempt suicide a few years ago when he drove his car off a cliff? Guy was in a bad place.
