I didn't see the connection the others did with Seau at all. I did see the connection about the ship wreck and it being just over 100 years and a couple of weeks since that fateful voyage of the Titanic.
In truth, I hear ya. I thought the "couple waves short of a ship wreck" was funny.
It's a wonder no one else came up with a connection to McNair.
And I will get on mine..........
First off, he very well might have shot himself in the chest to preserve his brain so it could be evaluated.
Secondly, people who commit suicide are generally very depressed obviously. The reasons for depression can vary. But often people who seem to have a good happy life do not for whatever reason. Money does not make one happy (having money is very overrated). Looks do not. Fame does not, and can actually make it worse.
Trying to pretend that we can get into his mind is a fruitless endeavor. Judging somebody who has hit the lows that are low enough that the person killed himself is impossible.
The fact is that sometimes people who we think have everything going for them and that are perfectly content are actually in great pain. People who we think Have a great life feel like the are missing something. It might be companionship. It might be the camaraderie they had years ago. It might physical skills they once had. It might bad self-esteem.
The fact is we do not know. And until we are in those shoes, it is impossible to judge. The pain that depression can bring on is not something to dismiss. Nor is it something to judge.
Suicide is not a decision that is made lightly or without thought.
I feel for the people that sink to those levels and to the family members they leave behind.
But I refuse to judge them and I refuse to condemn them.

Lecter is right...money can't buy you love.
I seriously hope, no one ever has to deal with a close family member or friend dealing with depression. Its a very real problem/illness that is extremely difficult to "get over." Even if someone learns to live with it, it never really goes away. Worst is it can affect anyone, even the seemingly most happy and lucky of us.
RIP Seau
Money can absolutely buy happiness.
No. No it can't
Believe me on this one.
Head trauma is now known to cause severe depression in so many ex athletes that have done this very thing. Not only the depression, but not feeling like yourself anymore.
Its pretty cold to downplay what someone goes through when they lose identity with themselves. Obviously JR was very depressed and struggling. Very sad.

Great posting Lecter
Then why are YOU making fun of a Bills player who meant alot to the team and its fans? McCargo I can understand but Nate brought it every Sunday.
Seau was a waak minded human being who brought on his own demise.
It speaks volumes of all those Super Bowl Bills. You'd think some of them would off themselves after losing 4 in a row but NO SIR!!! These were men of fortitude and substance.
Not sure why it is so funny to you that two guys will lose their jobs MR. CLASS.

That's pretty much a given when the thread title has 'McCargo' in it.

Money, looks, and fame doesnt always buy happiness. I am sure the last thing he was thinking about was his looks when he killed himself regardless if he was vain or not. C'mon man. This is just an ignorant post.

Well, if I had enough money where I didn't have to work and could golf all day I'd be pretty friggin happy. Money can buy happiness. Some people ruin their own happiness by gaining too much responsibility. Responsibilty kills happiness.
Yea those two things are sooo the same
So there are levels of class that are OK with you, got it.
Most people would lose control without responsibilty, so thinking it would end up making them happy is naive.
Well my happiness can be purchased.
money can buy happiness... have you ever seen a guy on a jet ski frown? no, you havent, because its impossible to not be happy on a jet ski. people smile even while smashing into the dock.
i stole that from daniel tosh.
