Junior Seau
When Junior Seau said he retired to spend more time with his kids, of course he really meant cavorting with rodeo clowns and an enraged bull. Who wouldn’t do that if they were thinking of making a possible NFL comeback later this season? I guess one’s resume is never complete without “Guest Rodeo Clown” somewhere in there. OK. But...

It's only flag football but Junior Seau still scares Entourage star Jeremy Piven. That's not much of a surprise, being that Seau managed 58 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 4 passes defended and 3 interceptions when playing for the Patriots in 2007. Oh yeah, and that was when he was 38 years old! It was celebrities and pro-football players together on the field for the Madden 10 flag football game in Malibu, California. Even Seau got in on the festivities, poking fun at Heisman winner and fellow USC alumnus Marcus Allen.
Follow the jump to see LAist video interview with Seau, Piven as well as 7x pro-bowl funny-man Marshall Faulk.

A past ESPN article estimated that "a Samoan boy is 40 times more likely to reach the NFL than a boy growing up in the United States." And there's good reason why. USC knows firsthand the physicality, size and strength of their Polynesian Trojan players. With the nation's top trainers and one of the largest national platforms, USC has helped its Poly-players (both native and ancestral) excel in the next level. Just take a look at Junior Seau or Lofa Tatupu or Troy Polamalu and the soon to be NFLers Rey Maualuga and Fili Moala...just to name a few.
Now there's a new name on that list. USC's 11th addition to its already stellar '09 class is Tongan native Hebron Fangupo. A JC transfer out of Mt. San Antonio College, the 6-2, 330-pound defensive tackle has the raw size, speed and talent to become the next Polynesian super star. As reported on Scout, Fangupo had this to say of his new-found home:
"I like the tempo. I just like the coaching environment. I like coaches that get a little crazy because I like to get crazy....As a Polynesian, we have a scream that we do before we go into battle, and he (Coach Watson) just kept doing it. I liked that because he has been around a few Polynesians and knows how we work."
By the time you hear that war cry...it will already be too late.
