RIP: Junior Seau

Not in Hall of Fame News
As you may already be aware, Junior Seau was found dead today of what could eventually be ruled as suicide. Seau was a dominating defensive player who many have pegged for the Hall of Fame. Likely, when he is eligible for Canton, he will have a high place on our list. However, if this death is in fact suicide, it again raised the concern of the game of football and the affect it has on those who play it. Was the first thing you thought of when you heard of Seau's death was that it could be from the head trauma he would have incurred? I admit it was for myself.
Our Aplogies..... However......

After 13 NFL seasons (the bulk of which was played with the Eagles), Free Safety, Brian Dawkins has announced via twitter that he is retiring. Dawkins felt that he could still play, but like many of this generation has elected to walk off the gridiron one last time as opposed to be carried off. With eight Pro Bowls, Four All Pro Teams, and the Philadelphia Eagles All Time Interception record, Brian Dawkins is a solid Hall of Fame Candidate.

Ivan Rodriguez retires today

Returning to Texas, Ivan Rodriguez will officially retire leaving behind a legacy of Gold Gloves, a 1999 AL MVP and a World Series Ring with the Marlins.
Known as "Pudge", Ivan Rodriguez concludes his career with lifetime numbers that are Hall of Fame worthy. With 2,844 Hits, 311 Home Runs and 7 Silver Slugger Awards, Rodriguez ranks among the top offensive Catchers in Major League history.
Defensively, I-Rod had no peers. His Defensive WAR of 16.9 ranks eleventh all time and is the highest among Catchers. He also boasts 13 Gold Gloves which again is a record for that position. All signs point him towards Cooperstown.....that is with the exception of the elephant that haunts his era.
Although never officially tagged as a steroids user, Rodriguez was named by Jose Canseco in his book as a partaker of PEDs. He subsequently never denied his name being on the Mitchell Report giving an answer of "Only God knows" which is hardly a denial.
Ivan Rodriguez will be eligible in five years and his induction could very well depend on how he is linked with steroids, as based on vote tallies for Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro have shown that direct association with PEDs equals Hall of Fame exclusion.
