On wednesday, former NFL star Junior Seau put a bullet into his chest and died. The 12 time pro-bowl attending linebacker was only 43. Not only is this an extremly saddening piece of news, but it also seems to be a strange trend. Ever since the San Diego Chargers appeared in the super bowl in 1994, players from that team seem to dying rather frequently. Seau is now the eighth member to pass away, all of which have been under the age of 45. In 2011, defensive tackle Shawn Lee died of cardiac arrest, and linebacker Lew Bush died of a heart attack. Three years prior to that, center Curtis Whitley and defensive end Chris Mims were also found dead. The supossed "curse" began five months after the super bowl when linebacker David Griggs, drunk, drove his speeding car off of an expressway. Griggs was just 28. Not even a year later, and Rodney Culver, 26 year old running back died in a plane crash, and in 1998, lightning struck linebacker Doug Miller, who was also 28. With a list like that, it becomes a pretty spooky coincidence that isn't to be taken lightly.
