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

Shocking news indeed and hope he makes it out of this. My prayers are with ST and his family.

I concur, I don't think I have ever been this sad over someones passing outside of my family.

i feel the same way. i just can't believe this mess.

Can Summo make a "Pray for ST" avatar?

According to PFT and the NFLN, Taylor did in fact flatline at least twice during the 6 hour surgery.

All over the net and tv/raido I have read many thing. But is it true he has hand no brain activity since he got to the hospital?

For anyone who hasn't watch the interview with Williams on Redskins.com. Go to the last 15 seconds and you'll see Williams get really choked up, say "I just want him to be alright," and have to leave the stage.

That was tough to watch

That was tough to watch

Here at work I was watching a direct feed to the press conference (so basically what is going on when the cameras aren't rolling). And one guy there, don't know who it was I only heard the voice, said that Gibbs, Williams and a couple other guys were in Gibbs' office and they all just sat there and cried before Gibbs went to address the team.

Takes a tough man to cry...

I concur, I don't think I have ever been this sad over someones possible passing outside of my family.

In a way I almost feel like this HAS happened to someone in my family. Maybe it's just b/c I'm emotional right now. But I grew up in DC. Some of my earliest memories are of my Dad taking me to Skins games at RFK during Gibbs 1.0. I still remember the 3 SuperBowl parties my family threw for our championships.

Redskins football is and always will be something that brings my family and friends together on Sundays. I love this team with all my heart, I keep up with them every single day of the year, and as I've grown up I feel like I'm a part of them and they're a part of me, as cheesy as that may sound. And Taylor is one of my 2 or 3 favorite players. I still remember cheering and running laps around my living room when we drafted him over Kellen Winslow. I wear his jersey every Sunday. I'm devastated.

EXACTLY. From what I understand, Wilbon grew up pretty well off in suburban Chicago, played high school tennis, and went to ritzy, private Northwestern University. But he's so quick to play the race card, and as you say, act like he's "down with the struggle." He's also a member at luxurious Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase, MD. But he's down, right? Sanctimonious high horse is exactly right.

Sean was raised by a police chief, never got in any trouble at the U. He made a few bad choices right after coming into the league, and hasn't had a single off-field transgression since. But he "embraced" thug life, right Wilbon? What an asshole.

Wilbon is a sanctimonious jerk and many are finally starting to see this. Part of his problem with ST may be ST's reluctance to be open to the press.
