Junior Seau is a future Pro Football Hall of Famer who, at age 40, is enjoying his first year of retirement. And while most retirees wouldn't find taking on a 2,000-pound bull relaxing, most retirees aren't Junior Seau.
Seau spent the weekend as a guest clown in a Professional Bull Riders event, and at one point a bull charged him, forcing Seau to hit the deck. The bull ran over him but didn't hurt him, and Seau got up laughing.Seau has suggested that he might return to the NFL later this season if a team -- especially the New England Patriots or San Diego Chargers -- gives him a call. I don't know if Seau has much gas left in the tank, but if he can handle a 2,000-pound bull, a 300-pound offensive lineman won't look too intimidating.

I heard that he wants to go back to the Patriots, but not until the last few games of the year and the playoffs. Apparantly, he's having too much fun right now. He keeps himself in great shape and probably could come back. I guess he has become like the Roger Clemens of football as far as coming back for stretch runs.

Now Seau knows how the quaterbacks felt when he ran over them. No malice intended - Seau was a great player in the NFL.

Any football player that wants to re-start an NFL career at age 40 probably should stick to playing the clown for these guys.

Looks like he's lost a step.
