Anyone else think this sounds like a hit? I know I will get flamed for saying it, but it strikes me as awfully co-incendental that the one night he spends at home in Miami is the one night this happens. To me, it sounds like someone found out he was going to be home and struck at it him, either as payback for the earlier incident or some other thing his boys might have been involved in. Just seems like an awfully big conincedence to me.

Dude, don't u think the story when someone hears that nobody is supposed to be there at home and got surprised when he finds ST coming down to find out what's going on makes more sense than a hit?

I want to thank the fans of other teams who have posted their concerns here - and remind everyone that we're all friends here. If you see a Cowboys, Giants, or Eagles avatar - or anyone else, for that matter - take their concern at face value. No one is here to gloat or tease us at this critical time.

Special thanks to those friendly fans of other teams who have changed their avatars to reflect their concern. You know who you are.

My experience in working in the medical field lets me know one thing : Gunshot wounds to the thigh DO NOT require getting air lifted to a hospital, you go by ambulance. This is not good my friends.

Im gonna go pray.....

[QUOTE=NYCSkin;383216]Depending on the extent of the damage, whether the nerve was nicked or severed; this will determine the course of his physical rehabilitation. Still to early to determine that. At this point, he needs to make it out of surgery. From there, he'll need to get out of the surgical ICU. And so on...[/QUOTE]

If he was indeed shot in the femoral artery is it true to keep him alive they may need to amputate his leg?

You're not the only one raising that type of thought.

When you're famous and you make a lot of money you can be a target. We'll find out, but it is a possibility. I'd say it probably reflects on the individual who would perpetrate such a crime rather than on Taylor, who from everything I've seen in the past few years has really become a mature and upright individual. He had some problems early, as every story on this incident has taken the time to mention, but I was very impressed on the few occasions I heard him speak. He had a great understanding of the game and seemed like a very intelligent person besides. Still, your point has some validity and I'd hope that the Miami-Dade police would have that guy who was involved in the earlier case with the ATVs and the lawsuit in for questioning right now.

what the fuckkkkk...?

Re: Sean Taylor Shot in the Thigh: CNN News
 

This is so shocking and unsettling. Poor, Sean. He seems to get a lot of bad breaks.

I pray he survives and comes out of this a stronger person. To God be the glory of his remarkable recovery. May your protection, healing and comfort be upon Sean and his family. In Jesus' name. Amen.

We love you Sean. Thanks for always playing your heart out for us. Our hearts are with you and your family.

His Boys? So you know who ST hangs around with and make it sound like he has his own little gang.

Re: Sean Taylor Shot in the Thigh: CNN News
 

I keep hearing from multiple sources, [URL="http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/?hpid=topnews"]including JLC[/URL], that the situation is stabilizing. Seems like he's going to make it through this one.

Still, theres absolutely no doubt that you have to shut him down for the year now. Playoff hopes be damned if need be, we should just hope he can one day play for us again. Arterial bleeding is about as serious as an injury can be.

Athletes getting robbed in their home has been a very serious issue over the past year or so.

However, and I've only heard this fom one source so I can't confirm this in any way yet, I've heard some rumors that this wasn't a random robbery. Rumor is this was a crazed fan. If I hear more I'll let you know.

All that matters now is that Sean survives for his family's sake. I didn't realize that he had a young child born last year - it makes this sort of thing even more tragic.
