if I lost a child, giving a damn about whether or not a random message board user gave me his sympathies or prayers would likely be concern #781631287631287618273 on the list.

That's an exact number by the way

you'd be getting a pretty bad deal if you made such a switch with Junior Seau currently

Prayers sent.

It's difficult for some former pro athletes to integrate into society post career. Same for actors/actresses.

Their whole identity changes, it can be a challenge for many.

I think some overlook the fact many started playing when they were 5 or 6 years old. So when they retire at 35 they have been doing/playing their job for 30 years already, yet have 40 to 50 years of life to go. That has to be pretty weird.

Unless he's laid up in a hospital bed sipping apple juice with a baseball-sized hole in his head I'd say he screwed up.
