RETRACTION: Seau did not appear in the Pats-Saints 2009 Contest

JT the Brick, on his Twitter, notes I'm probably not the only one who made what he believes to be a completely inappropriate charge:

Wow so many clueless producers and hosts trying to tie in the death of #JuniorSeau to the #Saints bounty gate story. What a sad reach!

 And, thanks to our friends at ProFootballReference.com, he turns out to be correct - hat tip to my friends.

Though the Patriots and Saints did play in 2009, Seau was inactive for that contest and did not play in the game.

So RETRACTION is in order.
