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

[CowboyzAdam]

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.

[DGreene28]

I'm very impressed with the Cowboys fans showing up on this site supporting Sean during this difficult time. Very classy guys and much appreciated.

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...

Good information. Thanks for that. Here's the Glasgow coma scale link:

Interviews with Cerrato and Sean's father Pedro on Comcast right now. Wow, Sean looks just like his dad.

The a-holes are everywhere. I am sure there are cowboy fans and giants fans that are out there right now having a good laugh at this situation, as I am sure there would be skins fans that would do it to. let me correct that, they are not fans they are dumb asses who root for a team. They think being kind, and showing compassion for other people espcially those of the rival team is a sign of weakness. Well a sign of weakness is not being compassionate not letting your true feelings out. I hate the Cowboys always will, as I would expect them to hate the Redskins but regardless of what color uniform you wear on Sunday this about a human being, a friend, a Son, and most importantly a Father. These type of situations are horrible for anyone to endure and I hope nobody ever has to personally. But if anything can be taken from this tragedy it is not the assholes who took pleasure in it but the people like CowboyzAdam and so many other cowboy, eagles, and giant fans that have shown there support, have said a kind word. It is because of people like you all and the real Redskin fans that make this sport special.

Would you please recap the segment for those of us who don't live in the area?

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.

At the time I posted all I had heard was "responsive but unconscious" so I asked someone inclined to know what that meant and they gave the Schiavo analogy.

I hadn't heard then what you had posted, and I'm certainly praying for a full recovery for him.

I was browsing other sites and I even saw Broncos' fans mocking the whole situation. I think one even asked if he was a Crip or a Blood.

Granted, this definitely wasn't all Broncos fans. But you'd think they, of all fans, would be sensitive to this.

Just got home after a long day traveling--unbelievable. Prayers to Sean.

I am in shock.

Seriously. A few Ravens fans I've talked to here at school were completely sympathetic to the whole thing but like I said earlier, 1 girl said the news was the best thing to happen to her all day. And another guy said that he was brain dead for playing with the Skins in the first place.

I mean come on, a little sensitivity towards a sensitive situation never hurt anyone.

[JWsleep]

Forget all that. Don't waste your energy on morons--there are more than a few of them running around this earth.

Hang in there, Sean. Hang in there.
