May 3 2012. Joe Lizura. I've spent a lot of time yesterday and today thinking about Junior Seau and wish his family strength and understanding in this difficult time. Having been a weatherman in San Diego for a great number of years, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jr. and covering some of the wonderful things he did in our community over the years. His rise in the Chargers's organization was an especially wonderful thing to watch, his command of the game of football was amazing and every time the camera had a close-up of Jr. you could see the determination in his eyes. He lived life that way as well, he was determined to help the city and the community he grew up in, and gave so much back to San Diego through his good deeds and his foundation. Every elementary school kid who loves football should do a report on Junior Seau so they can appreciate what it's like when a player does everything right on the field and off the field.
I'll never judge Junior for his final months, weeks and days, and wouldn't judge him because, although we never saw it on the outside, there must have been some unbelievable stress going on in the inside. Folks in San Diego and all around the country will miss him. R.I.P.
