Future NFL Hall-of-Fame linebacker Junior Seau is expected to come out of retirement this week to sign with the New England Patriots. It will be the 40-year-old’s third tour of duty in Foxboro.
He is entering his 20th NFL season — the majority (13) spent with the San Diego Chargers, three with the Miami Dolphins and four with New England.
Seau was expected to sign after the Patriots gave him a physical and a workout last week.
Seau nixed his retirement last season to play the final four games with New England after playing 27 games with them in 2006-07. via.
Ask any old person–retirement is boring. And really, it’s not like there’s anyplace else in the world where one can slap white people senseless like one can in the NFL. And if he can live the dream for another 11 weeks, then good on him. I guess the rodeo clowning and amateur breast consultations aren’t paying the bills the way working on Sundays will, either. Thanks, Crista.
I don’t understand rodeo. Sure, it’s not bullfighting; it’s much more benevolent to tie a rope to an animal’s genetalia and yank on it than to chase it around with a cape and decapitate it. But really, how much of a “sport” is this? With former NFL linebacker Junior Seau out there, I guess it picks up a bit of legitimacy. But look how he overplays the A gap and the bull dinks a short pass right over his head. I guess some things never change. as seen here.
UPDATE: Alana G tells us this was for a reality show on “Versus.” I assumed he was doing it because he mismanaged his money and spent himself into a depression. Whatev. Alternate [original] video after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
I used to think Junior Seau was pretty awesome. He was always such a huge figure in San Diego when I spent my weekends there. Then he retired, then unretired, then left San Diego, and I thought he was kind of annoying. But today, I've come full circle. Junior Seau rules.
Two women are suing NFL star Junior Seau, claiming that the future Hall of Famer drunkenly called them "female-specific profanities" and tossed drinks on them during a bar confrontation last year… a footnote in the document [quotes] what Seau reportedly said to the Roes. "Put your shirt on, your tits are too small!" he allegedly counseled Jane Roe #1. Jane Roe #2 allegedly received this fitness advice: "Get on a treadmill you cunt!"
Believe it or not, I would never say anything like this. It's just disrespectful (I mean, who tells a woman to put a shirt on?).
But I think it's great that confident men like Seau can tell women what he really thinks. Too many girls these days don't have body issues.
