Sheriff Gonna Getcha 05-05-2006, 11:25 PM If anyone hasn't seen Sean Taylor's interview on Redskins.com, you should. He seems like a much nicer guy off the field than the press, and his reputation on the field as a fierce bad-ass, would have you believe. He doesn't seem like the typical-thug that people have made him out to be.
Sean"Big Hurt"Taylor 05-05-2006, 11:30 PM No he is not a thug. he is probably one of the nicest guy on the team. he knows how to carry himself on the field except for last year's awful act.
mooby 05-06-2006, 12:03 AM Yeah, he definitely seems like a nice guy. But sometimes he lets his emotions control himself, i.e. the spitting incident, as well as pulling a gun on two guys who he thought stole his atv's.
Schneed10 05-06-2006, 12:07 AM Nice guy, very hard worker, decent intentions, good teammate. Just made a few questionable decisions (spitting, hanging out with thug friends, chasing down guys who stole his ATVs).
There are people in the world who are just rotten eggs, like TO. But then there are lots of people in the world who have good intentions but make bad decisions. They're called dumbasses. But they usually improve with age. Maturity will eventually take over and he'll be a good role model some day.
Gmanc711 05-06-2006, 12:29 AM I had the pleasure of meeting Sean before the Tampa game last year and he was a GREAT guy. I really think he has turned a new leaf off the feild and has realized the error of his ways.
No doubt he's made some big mistakes off the feild and really didnt seem like a very approachable/nice guy. But he was great, he actually came up to ME to introduce himself which was incredible. Real nice guy, and just a BEAST on the feild.
BigSKINBauer 05-06-2006, 12:49 AM see, if he did pull out a gun he is a dumbass. Not that he can't change but if he did that he is a dumbass and just like all the bad character players we see. It is surprising that he can go from being a great guy to Gman right before tampa and then, in that very game, spit on someone.
I really don't think he pulled a gun though so that changes everything but if I found out somehow that he did I would consider him a dumb idiot.
Taylor is a good guy to the fans though. At the baltimore scrimmage he was signing autographs during the game for the fans. He took my ball from me but didn't get a chance to sign it because some coach was yelling at him. THere is a picture of my hand reaching over in the washington post and him signing other people's stuff. YOu can't see anything but my hand though.

It seems more logical that he would have more time to talk to fans if he wasn't getting ready to play.
BigSKINBauer 05-06-2006, 01:07 AM ^^ yeah, your probably right but again it doesn't make sense that he can change and be all nice in the middle of the season and then spit on someone at the end. I am just saying that isn't showing change. I don't think taylor is all that bad of a person, he does charity stuff with CP and moss... well sometimes. He was going to sign autographs with them right before Philly 1 and then didn't show up because he got stuck in traffic which doesn't make sense because CP and moss showed up together so why wouldn't he.
I hope Taylor fixes up his act because regardless of what we think the league thinks he is a common thug and there is no reason for them not to. He has been introuble with the law twice and has been on trial for felonies and has clearly spit once on a player and was accused of it another time. He has skipped out on workouts and ignored Gibbs' phone calls and refused to speak to the media for a long, long time.
I think it will take years before he erases the image he has made for himself and it may never be erased. He spit on someone on a primetime playoff game, that will never change. He can't get away from that and no one is going to forget that he was charged with a felony for waving a gun. The fact that he pointed a gun at someone is not as big of a deal as to why he had a gun in the first place. He has to do things with the media, just like this one to fix his image.
Sheriff Gonna Getcha 05-06-2006, 02:38 AM As has been noted, the key is he allegedly pulled a gun ... Jackie Chyles anyone.
Sheriff Gonna Getcha 05-06-2006, 02:42 AM The press talks about his other off-the-field problems consisting of skipping a rookie symposium, bad socks, and a bogus DWI charge. I think a great many of us have been forced to attend symposiums and skipped out on some lame speaker to chat with friends and/or network. Bad socks, well that wasn't smart or admirable, but we're talking socks here. Finally, the DWI charge was dismissed.
Just because he might have a long list of supposed screw-ups doesn't necessarily mean he's a bad guy, especially when the gravity of those screw-ups isn't particularly significant.
He could be dumbass, but I can't say he is one even after looking at his long list of "transgressions."
