NBA reporter asks NFL reporter for Junior Seau’s contact info, unaware he killed himself in 2012

By Willie S. Morrissey

On Thursday morning, longtime NFL reporter Jim Trotter tweeted an email he had received from an NBA reporter, asking for Junior Seau’s contact information in order to get comment on the investment. of the NFL in the cannabis industry.

(It’s done $1 million rather than $1 billion, but I’m digressing)

Seau, the Pro Football Hall of Famer, committed suicide in May 2012. His life was even the subject of a recent 30 for 30!

Amateur sleuths quickly discovered, thanks to Trotter’s less than thorough use of the iPhone marker, that the reporter was Chris Sheridan of Boardroom.tv (and according to his Twitter biography, Maxim and Betway).

When Trotter responded and told Sheridan to Google Bucket, he replied that he preferred to rely on his own interviews while also citing his 30 years of experience. Oh dear.

Finally, it seems that Trotter informed Sheridan of Seau’s fate.

I mean….yeah, you don’t want to get all of your information through Google. But how can you not even Google the topic of the interview in question and try to find a social media account or website to contact them directly? You’re going straight to Jim Trotter for the coordinates?

Yeah. Just yuck.

As for Sheridan, his author page on Boardroom now shows up as a 404 error.

A Google search could have saved everyone a lot of time and caused a lot less embarrassment.
