Whats this about, everything I saw on the news yesterday and read completely contradicts this crap. ST appeared to be happy to be here and was easy with the press.

This article was unable to produce a quote from Taylor's mouth that leads me to believe he was being an ass to the press. He did say something to the effect of I'm better off showing up to this minicamp instead of missing it and dealing with you press grilling me for it.
He also said "as long as you're here from July - January, that's all your team cares about." I'm not 100% sure about that, I'm sure the team would like to have him there. But at the same time I understand his point, the media are the ones that make such a big deal about missing voluntary workouts in the spring, and the effect it has on team chemistry and all that crap. Yes, Gibbs wants him there. Yes it would help him stay in shape. But come on people, does that really effect Sean Taylor's play during the season? He missed everything before last year, got in major trouble, and still showed up as a game changer for the Skins last year. He developed into one of the best safeties in the league.
In general, I'm with Sean Taylor on this one. If he misses a few practices in May, SO WHAT. The guys that really need to be there in May are the ones fighting for roster spots, and the new players. Other players probably want to see Sean working alongside them and working just as hard as they are. But as long as those players continue to say that Taylor is a good guy and a good teammate, like they have been saying, then I have no problem with what Sean Taylor is doing.

no idea, it seems more like the writer had a beef with him than anything else. Nothing new was reported there.

The writer of this article is an ass. Get used to hearing this kind of stuff on Taylor after his plea bargain. Just ignore anything u read or hear outside of his mouth or from the Redskins themselves.

Taylor's already making it hard for himself to eventually get into the Hall of Fame even if his numbers end up warranting it. If he doesn't suck up hard core to the media he has no chance!

The content of the article seems to be "Taylor didn't like us before, and he doesn't like us now." That's not really news.
I'd be concerned if Gibbs was exceedingly negative. What he said was basically "Sean missed a lot, and he has to catch up." That's not really news.

Amen to that. Sounds like a writer had a slow news day.
There is a new ST interview on redskins.com. It sounds like he is happy to be there.
