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

Please don't say Terry Shiavo. I don't even want to think about that. I personally would rather die than live in a vegetative state the rest of my life. I really hope that ST will have full brain function.

That could very well be the case, but didn't he squeeze doctor's hands in response to requests to do so? If I recall correctly, Terry couldn't respond to stimuli even though it looked like she was. If ST is indeed responding to requests to squeeze their hands, that is a very, very, very good sign. He's also got to be so drugged up that squeezing a hand in response to a request to do so is significant.

Facial expressions, squeezing of the hands... doesn't sound vegetative to me. All his blood has been replaced... Let's keep in mind how the body goes into shock during trauma. I'm praying VERY hard that he's pulling out of this.

Once he wakes up he will be pissed! He'll find and beat the shooter over the head swinging Chuck Norris.

You can't kill Sean Taylor he's a bad mother. Fuc..[shut your mouth!] But I'm talking about Sean Taylor.

Walk it off #21!

Prayers always
peace

This is the best news I've heard all day. Keep pulling through ST, we're rooting for you!

You can still be in a "coma" and do some of these activities. Following directions is the best sign at this point as this implies he has full motor response. Technically speaking, comas are evaluated by eye, verbal, and motor response. As he has some eye response (whether to pain or not is still a question) and that he is apparently following directions is a very good sign. He is going probably intubated so his verbal response will be assumed to be minimum. Adding these together can still deem someone in a "coma".

For those that would like more information--please google "Glasgow coma scale" to learn more--wikipedia does a decent layman's job...

Yeah the Eagles show their true colors again. You know it is really sad that I have to say that it does not surprise me one bit. I would be totally blown away if I went to their site and did not see them celebrating this tragic event. I am praying for Sean and will continue to. My heart goes out to all you Redskin fans.

At times like these Rivalry has to be put aside. I have never wished ill will on any Redskin fans nor players. It is just simply a Rivalry. Nothing more. I enjoy when we beat your team but I hate when anything bad happens to any fans or players. We are all human beings at the end of the day. Unfortunately some fans tend to forget that and go to far and are classless and lack all tact.

I truly feel for each and every one of you. That comes from my Cowboys heart. Forget the Rivalry. I can only imagine how I would feel if it were one of our players like Newman for example. I don't wish that on any of you. At times like these we are all football fans and human beings. Therefore we are all one. I am one of the Administrators over at the Cowboys board. Budlee knows which one. I will tell you that everyone of our members are in support of each and everyone of you.

I hope Sean get well fast and we will continue to pray for you guys and his family. You will never hear nor see any of us on our Cowboys board be so insensitive to make light of this like some of you have received from the Eagle fans.

I just wanted to pop in here and personally say a few things to each of you.

God Bless.

Welcome to the board and thanks for the classy post. It's so nice to see fans of other teams, particularly rival teams, go out of their way to sign up to become members of Redskins fan sites and express their support. Very classy my friend.

I think most Redskins fans would feel the same way about anyone else in this league. I recall feeling the same way about Ken Hamlin when he was a Seahawk. Thanks again for being so classy and kind.

Another classy post by a Cowboy's fan. Thanks. For the record, my roommate is an Eagles fan, and has had nothing but good, supportive things to say about the Taylor situation. It's too bad there are so many other Eagles assholes out there.
