This is crazy..


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 2:00 a.m. PT. 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.

It was unclear what caused the former NFL star to drive off the cliff.

The 12-time Pro Bowl selection 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.

you know he would be dead and not have survived with only cuts and bruises if it was a 100ft. cliff, right?

the fact that it was an escalade probably saved him. You could do something like in some other 5 star rated cars and not have nearly as much luck. Pays to drive gangster cars sometimes.

seau is just one of those seemingly top notch performers that cant get the job done when it comes down to it, he spends his whole career trying to win a super bowl and never comes close, then he tries to kill himself, and fails at that too
