Junior Seau after the NFL was a completely different person. According to his family, it was hard to see him slipping away.

"I saw a man right before my eyes changing," Seau's son, Tyler said. "He wasn't that happy go-lucky guy anymore."

Showtime's "60 Minutes Sports" sat down with the Seau family about the man after his playing days were over. The former linebacker was diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) after he committed suicide in 2012. Seau's family wants the NFL to take responsibility for their part in his death. They have filed a wrongful death lawsuit and have rejected the settlement they were offered. His widow Gina, along with his children, are taking a stand against the league.

"The NFL is taking no ownership for what they've done," Tyler said.

"When he would come home from games, he would go straight to the room... lower the blinds and say, 'Quiet, my head is, is burning,'" Gina said.

The full story on the Seau family will air Jan. 6 at 10 p.m.

There were children locked inside the house…” those were the words of my elderly neighbour, Mrs A, returning from the scene of some ongoing tragedy. Immediately, my mother went for all our official documents she always keeps in a ready to go bag while, my father, brother and I set off in the direction of the blaze. On getting to the front of the close, T Close, we observed the residents of the first few houses on the left hastily withdrawing their belongings from their homes; stuffing generators, plasma TVs, gas cylinders and the works into the back seat of their cars.
