Redskins' Taylor still has an attitude?

One word:

Spin.

Agreed! For the most part, things are just taken out of context. The writer of the article makes it seems like there is a dialogue between Gibbs and Taylor by alternating between each one's comments, in the process making Sean Taylor seem like a bad teammate. In reality, Joe Gibbs was supporting Taylor through all of the things he said in his press conference, although the article makes it seem to the contrary.

Essentially, the author is 'making up' a story. All of the things that the author quoted were said, but the deception lies behind all of the things the author didn't say, like noting Gibbs' praise of Taylor...Well, I guess whatever sells the papers, huh?

I'm of the opinion the writer is making an atempt to demonstrate that perhaps taylor is still to some extent defiant, as well as non compliant to a lesser degree. Writer perhaps became aggitated at the response from Taylor in regards to being grilled for missing workouts in the spring. Further it would appear that Taylor's view or assertion that as long as he is here from July thru Jan. that's all that matters to the team which is in sharp contrast to JG view as to how much, and how long the participation should be between seasons.

AP's article made it seem like Taylor is still a disruptive headcase who is angering the coaches. Redskins.com's article makes it seem like Taylor's issues are 100% behind him.

Methinks the truth lies somewhere in betwixt the two.

True, after all let's not forget about Redskins.com's "unfiltered" approach to spin, errrr, I mean news reporting.

What a crock of SH**!! THe reproter quotes Taylor as saying: "I think in my case, in my scenario, I think it was the best way to just put it away and let me focus on football these three days," Taylor said. "So you don't have to ask me, 'Why did you miss camp again?' when I show up for training camp, (and) butcher me."

This is SO taken out of context (the "butchering" line). He says that as he is laughing and joking with the press, and the reporters are laughing with him throughout the presser. Not to mention that Sean says all the right things about being a Redskin, working with his teammates, etc. Wow. No wonder these guys don't like to talk to the press!

No, this is a retarded question, he doesnt he is seriously a very nice guy, and he doesnt have lip, you guys have heard his interviews, the whole legal thing is hurting his rep, and bc of spitting and his badassness on the field, people think he is a killer thug. I have also met the guy, off the field and with the coaches he is so nice.

That article is REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY reaching there. I think the quote that they are playing off of is when Taylor said they could make him look bad again.

All reports I"ve heard (and seen first hand personally) is that Taylor really turned over a new leaf and has been a much better person in the public eye.

The "butchering" line is what I beleive the writer took offense too. It was "In his view" an indirect slap at the media based on his past dealings with them. They recognize the fact he does not have a fondness for the media, and any remark that seems in any way derogative they exploit as being biased. I therefore I agree with your asessment that's the reason why so many players do not like to talk to the press. I've been convinced for a long time that that is the reason Art Monk is not in the HOF.

i want him to have an attitude(while he is on the feild) but this writer clearly is holding some sort of grudge against taylor
