Because I will never forget hearing it on the radio in my truck. I had to pull over and say "WHAT THE FUCK JUNIOR!". Did the paddle out. Six years ago yesterday.

I had season tickets his years. His first year we all would laugh and laugh. I remember saying. All the other team has to do is run to the spot Junior lines up at, because at the snap that dude is gone. Usually the wrong way. But he learned. Had a motor like I have never seen.

Certainly one of the best ever LB's in the league.

Did you see this one? It was a link out of the 4 things youtube leaves there after you view it. On Jay Leno - had no idea how smart and funny he was. And you can see he pretty much ignores, even discourages the obvious flirtations from that other 'sexy black woman' guest on Leno - but he seems so happy, with life. TBH, I didn't follow football, much less him, during the time he played. But it was a way bigger shocker than Dave Duerson (a Bear, also concussions), or anyone else I've heard of.

No I hadn't seen that divebitch. I'm surprised he didn't have his ukele. He wore shorts and flip flops and had his uke everywhere he went. I would go to his restaurant often. He would be there and come visit the people at their table. He had a magnetic personality that you could not help but love. Killing himself was a huge shock to San Diego sports fans and people in general. He surfed and paddle boarded all the time. He shot himself in the heart in order to preserve his brain so they could study it.

I still have no idea what the term 'paddling out' means. Look up 2 songs, one by Sublime, the other by Mike Snow (I think this is the real thing they mean). Anyway, having a hard time what the term means or is a euphemism for.

A paddle out is a surfers term. We paddled out and threw flowers and splashed around in front of Juniors house a few days after his death. In one of the videos there is a brief shot of the circle of surfers that day. divebitch

Kind of long and from one guys go pro but this will give you an idea. At about 2;20 mark you see Junior on a wave. He surfed but what he was doing there is sup surfing. Stand Up Paddle......SUP.

Wow, it really is a paddle. lol Yeesh, why do they all start out together and wait? Is it a competition? So no surprise with Sublime, they were from Long Beach - Bradley, he had to surf.
Anyway, I didn't know Seau at all, but more saddened after seeing him on that talk show.

not a competition. It's a tribute. And a paddle out has nothing to do with the paddle Junior was using in that video. As a matter of fact traditional surfers, like me, kind of get mad at SUP surfers. They use a bigger board and can maneuver faster so they get more waves. Being as the board is bigger they can't shred like smaller board surfers.

Never liked the guy. Probably because he was always kicking our asses.
But he deserves to be remembered with respect.
