Two veterans with diminished playing time… what do they think?

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:07:04 -0500

You may have noticed before the Colts game that one of the players announced as inactive was Shawn Springs. You may not have noticed that linebacker Junior Seau dressed, but didn’t play a snap. Two veterans with valuable experience, two guys who watched as younger players battled in their place. This is a new thing for [...]

In with the old: Patriots re-sign 40-year old Seau

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 09:00:00 -0500

The Patriots have become considerably younger over the past couple of seasons especially on the defensive side of the ball. They've lost veteran defensive players Teddy Bruschi, Rodney Harrison, Mike Vrabel and Richard Seymour to retirement and trades, but one of those players has decided to come back. The eldest of the bunch, LB Junior Seau has decided to come out of retirement at the age of 40 on Tuesday. A 12-time Pro Bowler, Seau will give the Patriots some much needed hel...

Seau returns to New England (again)

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:59:50 -0500

The Versus Network, which is debuting a new show called "Sports Jobs with Junior Seau," is reporting that Junior Seau has un-retired once again to play football in New England. Seau's return has been rumored for a couple of weeks, but the network he was working for is the first to report that he has indeed signed with the Patriots to return for a 20th season. With the current youth movement on defense, I'm still trying to figure out why exactly Bill Belichick would bring in ...

Junior Seau Got Trucked! But It Took a Bull to Do It

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:34:09 -0500

Junior Seau has already told the Patriots that he's willing to be a linebacker rental should the team need his services later this season. He'd be offering for now, but he knows those old bones probably couldn't hack a full season in the NFL at this point in his life. Meaning Seau has some time to fill until the Patriots maybe possibly need his services. So Seau is one of the many athletes to have their own reality show. His is to be called Sports Jobs with Junio...

Junior Seau run over by a bull for Versus reality TV show

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:00:00 -0500

The story has gotten out that Junior Seau got banged up by a bull while guest starring as a rodeo clown.

Junior Seau messes with bull; gets horns

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:10:06 -0500

It seems to me that bullfighting is the kind of thing one wouldn't want to try unless one was well-trained in the area and really knew what they were doing. What kind of bullfighting experience Junior Seau(notes) has, I couldn't tell you, but here he is, running an Oklahoma drill with a bull. It doesn't go well for Junior. "Dare the bull to charge you, then turn and run when he's three feet away" seems like a poor strategy, but then again, what is a good strate...

I'm a bit late with this but I just got my hands on the video. Future NFL Hall of Famer Junior Seau was decked out in a full Dodgers uniform Tuesday night and was their ball boy down the left field line. Pretty cool.
