I've known guys like Taylor all my life, grew up with some. They still have shades of gray and shouldn't be painted in black and white...I know how I feel about Taylor, and this latest news isn't surprising in the least, not to me. Whether this incident is or isn't random, Taylor grew up in a violent world, embraced it, claimed it, loved to run in it and refused to divorce himself from it. He ain't the first and won't be the last. We have no idea what happened, or if what we know now will be revised later. It's sad, yes, but hardly surprising." -Michael Wilbon
I have to say what Wilborn said is bad timing at best but what he said is not that far off. When we looked at who to pick that year Taylor was not my first thought because of his past. I really hope he is going to come out of this and he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and knew nothing of this! My prays are with him! Pete
