This isn't even the most updated story, but the one I could find. Apparently after he was released from jail he drove his SUV off a cliff and survived?!?!

Anyone hear anything else?

Here's the cliff story.

 

[Maurile Tremblay]

That's a weird story. I hope he's okay, physically and mentally. His girlfriend, too.

Too early for conclusions, but not for speculation. Could this be at all the result of the same brain spots that have afflicted past players with tragic off field behavior (e.g. Chris Henry)?

Too early.

Thelma and Louise?

 

[Fantasy Man]

Does he still do that Sports Jobs show on Versus?

 

[Sabertooth]

Yikes, this doesn't look good.

 

[shredhead]

Do we know if the two incidents are realted? Or is it just a coincidence? Did he drive off the cliff on purpose, after being arrested? Or was this an accident, unrealted to the arrest? Lots of unanswered questions obviously. It seems the writers want to tie these two incidents together for some reason, but they very well could be unrelated. I hope (as Maurile said) that Junior is OK physically and mentally!

Slight bump to Finley.

Hey I can't read the whole article right now. can I get some cliff notes?

Seau arrested on suspicion of domestic violence. Seau arrested this morning, booked into Vista Detention Facility around 2:00 AM. Seau released around 3:20 AM. Seau also played for Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots.

Too early.

It was my first thought too. It sounds like he was either too emotional to drive safely, or was suicidal. It makes you wonder.

 

[TS Garp]

I hope he gets the help he needs. So many of these guys are in need of serious counseling. I give credit to a guy like Ron Artest, who finally got help (and even thanked his therapist when the Lakers won the championship) and now appears to be doing better. Whatever the root of Seau's problems, it's clear that he needs help.

Too early.

Huh? It's a very valid suspicion. NFL players get lots of concussions. This leads to erratic/violent behavior and depression later in life. Very relevant.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

When did he drive off the cliff? He was arrested at 2AM, when did he drive off the cliff?

 

[Addai's Adidas]

There is also a suspicion that he is now off the steroids. Brutal withdrawl.

 

[Nightly Mistake]

When did he drive off the cliff? He was arrested at 2AM, when did he drive off the cliff?

I'm going to guess it happened sometime between 2 a.m. and now.

Yeah, the article just says "hours after he was released from jail"

first of all, we don't know if the driving-off-a-cliff was accidental or intentional. authorities aren't saying.too early.

Tough call there... There were skidmarks.. but even if it was intentional, hitting the breaks is going to be a natural instinct reaction..

http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/oc...-reports-it-fo/ link to local article with photos. Its been raining here over the past few days and the marine layer (fog) has been heavy at times. Considering it happened in the early morning hours, it wouldnt suprise me if it was accidental or if he was f'ing with his phone. Plus you know the locals around here cant drive on dry pavement, let alone a little mist..

 

[GroveDiesel]

Latest report is that he was arrested for FELONY domestic violence with injury. Not good.

Street view of the cliff

Looks like he went off right where the white barrel is. Not far from a parking area, so may have been pulling off to the side, OR used the barrel as a target.. hopefully he'll get the help he needs..

and if you turn the street view 180 degrees, you'll see a GEICO insurance car.And I'm NOT KIDDING. Check it out.

Maybe the rodeo clown took it with him.

[The Man With No Name]

The Bengals probably want him to play for them now

Does he still do that Sports Jobs show on Versus?

Not anymore!

From PFT:

Junior Seau says he fell asleep, didn't attempt suicide

Posted by Michael David Smith on October 18, 2010 6:01 PM ET

Former NFL linebacker Junior Seau says he fell asleep at the wheel when he drove off a cliff hours after his arrest early this morning and was not trying to kill himself.

TMZ reports that Seau told police that he wasn't trying to commit suicide when he drove his Cadillac Escalade off a cliff in Carlsbad, California. He says he nodded off while driving.

The crash came hours after he was arrested on felony domestic violence charges and accused of attacking a woman described as his 25-year-old live-in girlfriend.

Seau reportedly showed no signs of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs, but a blood test was taken shortly after the incident.

That helps clarify things. But I still need to know what happened to the white barrel.

Yes he is. But that video hardly proves it. Pretty much gets a little shove from behind, perhaps even trips over his own feet, and the bull completely whiffs on him.

I love how your thread subtitle attempts to imply the two are connected, while you obviously know otherwise. Speaking of TMZ, send in your resume, drama queen.
