Some people would argue that an individual would be nuts to turn down a potential opportunity to play in the NFL.  This is exactly what former Ohio State linebacker Andrew Sweat has decided to do.

Junior Seau was the quintessential NFL linebacker, a motivational leader, and loved by many people. Yesterday his life was tragically cut short when he was found dead in his Oceanside, California home with a self-inflicted gun shot wound to his chest, in an apparent suicide.

It is a very sad day 'On The Sidelines", thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Junior Seau.
