Sean Taylor Shot in the Thigh (UPDATED 6:54 PM)

I can't do anything at work right now. My bosses are going to be pissed, but I just can't think. I feel like a close relative was shot. When I read that he flatlined 3 times during surgery my heart sank and I felt like I had been shot. This is just tragic.

I have seen numerous posts from Cowboy fans wishing ST the best. Out of curiousity, I hit an Eagles board. It was below worthless. The majority of posters wished him a crippling injury "couldn't happen to a nicer guy" was one post. Death wishes were many and in no way the exception. I was tempted to post but I figured - why bother.

To our opponents who wish this young man and young father well - thanks. To the rest, may karma come and bite you on the ass.

And, of course, to ST, his family and particular his child - my prayers and thoughts.

Eagles fans are the lowest form of humanity on the face of the planet.

I hear you SGG, hard to believe, and way to much

Love you Sean. Fight Brother. My thoughts and prayers are with his family right now. Please get well my friend.

Just horrible. Thoughts and prayers out to Sean Taylor and his family. Clinton Portis said it best. Football doesn't matter. This is a father, this is a son, this is a friend fighting for his life. Nothing else should be said at this point.

Out of Surgery-"in better shape"

From the Miami Herald:


At least one armed intruder had broken into the $900,000 Palmetto Bay house of the star NFL player and were at his bedroom door. Taylor rose from bed to investigate, and just outside his bedroom, was shot in the groin and critically wounded. He collapsed back into the room, where he breathed heavily as blood gushed from his wound, according to Taylor's lawyer and family friend, Richard Sharpstein....Sharpstein said Taylor, 24, emerged from surgery in better shape and will likely live. He is in intensive care and doctors have allowed his family to see him.

Some light at the end of the tunnel..

Thanks for the update. Now is a time to just pray for Taylor, but now that I hear that he is getting better I am starting to be filled with rage. I hate to admit it, as all we should care about is ST getting better, but I want to see the cowards carrying those guns found in a dumpster somewhere.

This is some great news! Hopefully the report is true and he is out of surgery alive.

I hope that is true JGale.

I was in Secret Service HQ the day Reagan was shot, and will never forget the wrong reporting that went on that day.

I was hesitant to post this, but did because it named the source and the source would be in a position to know.

Be careful of everything you hear for the next 24 hours.
