Former NFL linebacker Junior Seau drove his SUV off a cliff in Carlsbad, Calif., on Monday, just hours after being arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, KGTV reported.
Seau, 41, was reportedly released from a San Diego detention facility a little more than an hour after being arrested at approximately 2:00am local time. According to KGTV, the incident involved his live-in girlfriend.
After being released from custody, Seau then drove his SUV off a cliff in Carlsbad, according to law enforcement. Seau was pulled from the vehicle by law enforcement officials suffering only bruises and cuts and was taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, Calif.
It was unclear what caused the NFL star to drive off the cliff.
The 12-time Pro Bowler left football in January for the second time in a career that spanned 20 years and three NFL franchises.
Seau, the fifth overall pick in the 1990 NFL Draft, spent 13 seasons with the San Diego Chargers, building a reputation as one of the most feared linebackers in the game.
Seau’s play with the Chargers earned him a roster spot on the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team.
The former University of Southern California standout announced in January that he had played his final game, but has not yet officially retired from the NFL.

I don't get these people. Life on a golden platter. Making millions playing a simple game. And they come to things like this. Makes no sense to me.

The website TMZ reported today that retired NFL linebacker Junior Seau was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence early this morning and was involved in a car accident in Carlsbad, Calif.
He used to be a fan favorite in San Diego. I think he cheated on his wife and fell from fan fav. He then went to New England. He was a good player. He has a restaurant in Mission Valley, I remember driving past it on the way to the Airport. His brother is in prison. He has done much community service . Junior sounds like some kind of rage?

Didn't this guy have a TV show recently?

They have good hunting shows in the morning, and pretty good NHL coverage. I like it for the most part.

That looks like it borders on being a precipice.

I wonder what he was thinking? I could understand driving over a cliff, but that really wasn't a cliff. Man o pete.

he was thinking, "man, I wish I could find a decent cliff around here". :-)
either that, or all he was looking for was attention, not an audience with God.

I am thinking he spilled his drink and leaned over to pick it up. Or tried to kill himself.

I hope it was the drink for his sake, because if he was trying to kill himself, that was an epic fail.

Maybe he was taking driving lessons from Charlie Sheen.

Concur with WE. Junior didn't do a cliff. You tend to fall from a cliff and then go splat after a pregnant pause. Looks like Junior was just doing some off-roadin'.

He fell out of fan fav for me in San Diego, he was involved in a scandal. His wife and him did a cover of a swimsuit magazine right around the time of the scandal. I think he was cheating on her. I wondered how that would effect his restaurant. He went to Miami soon after. I am thinking the latter is true he was trying to off himself. THAT IS JUST MY THOUGHTS. To many hits to the head or a rage of some sort.

I dated him in the 07-08 season and spend some time with him again in the 08-09 season. Great guy, even if he's a cheater. He's an inspiration to everyone in his life that gets the opportunity to meet him. Stand up character.

I love it thanks for that.

That is kind of a shock to me. He was a fan favorite here in NE, but that doesn't mean anything. He seemed like a grounded and down to earth kind of guy. I'm shocked.
-
He saw the beach and decided to take a swim to cool off. Only problem is the Caddy is not one of those off road vehicles.

I only watch it for their Indycar coverage.
