What the hell.

Junior! sad sad sad day for his family, football and otherwise.

too bad, probably the first samoan football superstar. wonder if this is going to turn out to be another one of those brain damage from football things.

Jesse Sapolou? or is that just cause I'm a Niners fan? (not gonna google it)

SUPERSTAR

not "good ball player"

hell mosi tatupu (lofa's dad) was fairly well-known in the 70's, jack the throwin samoan thompson was a college star in the 70's. unlike them, seau was an elite, superstar, hall of fame type player.

Oh, for shame.

I'll be crying into my beer all weekend.

Careful, you don't wanna jynx Big Ben into another off season "sex-capade"...

 

[SteelerFanatic]

Exactly.

I think it sucks that he is out. I would rather beat them when they have no excuses.

Suggs is a manimal! I am three weeks in on the same injury and still have another 4 to go before I can use a walking boot. Let alone play football. TSizzle has a long road ahead of him.

He's got too much money to get divorced.

Exactly.

Dude it's Baltimore, they've always got excuses.

 

[Med23]

I think the place kicker was a legitimate excuse this last year though.

 

[Bowling4Bikes]

NFL meets Star Wars look-a-likes. R2D2 and Jek Porkins.

Double damn. Saints are going to be hurting badly by midseason.

Midseason? Sounds like they'll be done by minicamp.

Now, when the Saints next gather on the field for their next minicamp, they will be without coach Sean Payton, Ingram, suspended linebacker Jonathan Vilma and likely quarterback Drew Brees, who remains far apart from the Saints in talks on a long-term contract extension.

Saw the Don Quixote ballet at the San Francisco Ballet yesterday, some of the dudes were wearing orange/aqua costumes. I was like "bravo Fins, bravo."

(no ballet jokes, Steelers' WR and Super Bowl stud Lynn Swann made ballet famous on the football field).

 

[Marlowe]

That dude could catch anything.

 

[Zerox]

Dolphins finally PAID THE MAN.

4 yrs, $49 million extension for QB-sacking stud LB Cameron Wake.

WTF, the Broncos won their division, then won a playoff game.....so Elway says "F this, get rid of everybody."
