Junior Seau’s Death Brings Suicide Prevention into Focus
I let out a gasp when I found out that NFL great Junior Seau died today. And I was quite saddened to hear he died from an apparent suicide.
Seau was playing when I started watching football in 1993. He was an awesome linebacker and seemed like a really nice guy. According to the news story, he is the eighth member of the 1994 San Diego Chargers to die at a young age. He was 43. And he is the second...
Broncos Think Super Bowl with Manning, but Is That Realistic?
With Peyton Manning signing a five-year, $96 million contract with the Denver Broncos, Broncoland is all atwitter over the possibility — they lean toward “certainty” — of a Super Bowl win, I can’t help but wonder if we’re expecting too much.

Dallas goes into final game of season with drama — of course
So, the Dallas Cowboys play the New York Giants in the last game of the season in a do-or-die match. Winner takes all. Winner goes to the playoffs as the fourth seed. Loser goes home.
Enough drama to make your heart beat a little faster. Certainly for me. I’ve written in this space about the Dallas Cowboys and their penchant for drama. And here I am again. It’s less than an hour to kickoff...
