    Great pics. I taped it and just finished watching it. It was nice to see Bobby Ross there. I also second Dan Fouts: It was very classy to see John Elway, Peyton Manning and John Fox there. Those guys are all class.

    It was a fitting tribute not only for a great football player and Charger, but a good human being and friend as well. I think last night's celebration of Junior's life will help his family, friends, and fans with moving forward.

    I was slightly disappointed that Rodney Harrison and Bobby Beathard didn't speak, and I was hoping that Drew Brees might have also participated since he helped lead the paddle-out last weekend. The Chris Berman taped tribute was a pleasant surprise and the only recognition from the national media. Roger Goodell should have done at least as much.

    In addition to retiring his number, the Chargers will undoubtedly have a halftime ceremony sometime during the 2012 season to honor Junior with a jersey retirement celebration. I hope they leave his number 55 painted on the midfield for the 2012 season. If the NFL weren't so corporate, I could even imagine the Chargers replacing the 50 yard-line marker with 55.

    Other ideas would be to have midfield painted with a logo of the Chargers throwback helmet with #55 (like they once did for Rodney Harrison while he was suspended for a game) or re-using the team's 50th anniversary shield logo, replacing 50 with 55 and the dates with 1990-2002

    Lynch played vs Seau when he was at Torry Pines and Jr. was at Oceanside....and they were pretty close.
