In the latest chapter of what has become one of the biggest sports stories of a generation, yet another NFL player, Junior Seau, has tragically killed himself and has been diagnosed with CTE, a progressive, degenerative brain disease. In today’s paper, Belson and I report on the science of the Seau findings, but the comments from readers also provide interesting insight into the broader conversation surrounding football and head injuries. 

A little over a week since the news of Junior Seau’s suicide, we take a look at the impact it has had on pending litigation against the NFL and helmet maker Riddell, as well as the talk among his former teammates. 

Bishop and I reporter further on Junior Seau’s last couple of years of life and the reaction to his death. 

Update in Saturday’s paper: Seau family decides to give brain for study

Branch and I report on Tim Tebow’s religious beliefs.
