I am absolutely stunned. Forget football fellas, this is serious. I am just hoping that Taylor makes it through this; I'm not going to worry about football until I know he's okay.

No problem. I like representing my team with class.

Well hopefully our PA announcer calls for a moment of silence before the Steelers/Dolphins game tonight as a moment of prayer. Sean Taylor is a helluva player. I sure don't want to see him go.

I understand the curiosity of the media and regular peeps as well to question this crime, but to dwell on the negative reminds me of the Don Henley tune "Dirty Laundry." I just wish everyone would wait for the facts before speculating and making assumptions. We will know the facts when they are discovered.

Cowherd is a piece of trash.. He's exactly what's wrong with the media, a talentless talking head who seeks out the negative aspects of any story to spout his holier than thou rhetoric with no regard to the facts or people involved.

It must have been an inexperienced or stupid burglar. Most would have just ran or not have brought a gun at all. Unless it was ST's gun and somehow got shot in a struggle.

Man I hope he pulls out of this.

He's like that to those with troubled pasts. I'm now surprised that he didn't pull that junk with Big Ben after his motorcycle accident.

He is the "paulskinsfan" of the real world!

Who would do such a thing just because Sean is Sean. He's a playmaker and we need him. But right now I just hope he makes it so he can live a normal life. We'll worry about football later. Right now my heart goes out to him and his family.

"One of the bullets ruptured the Femoral artery, and he flat lined 3 times during surgery while they put an artificial artery in place."

Just heard this on TV.

Fox sports reports ST somewhat stabelized after surgery.

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Taylor in critical condition after shooting

Jesus. Come on Sean.

[ArtMonkDrillz]

I seriously feel sick right now.
I've been stuck in training all morning but my phone has been blowing up with text messages. I seriously just hope he pulls through this. If one day he can come back to playing football that would be gravy but it isn't the most important thing right now.

This keeps sounding worse and worse...This is a very sad day.

Keep fighting Sean!

If you haven't followed the Redskins all you know is the bad stuff from a couple of years ago, but Redskins fans and players know better how much maturing Sean has done. Basically they don't know what they are talking about, think that people are incapable of change apparently, and don't follow the Redskins close enough to make a half-way intelligent comment and instead revert to speculation and misinformation.

It sickens me that assholes like Cowherd hang out the dirty laundry of a man whose life hangs in the balance. I stopped listening to Cowherd when his show replace Kornheiser's because Cowherd sucked. I'll never listen to his drivel again after hearing about his rant on Taylor. What a flaming A-hole.

[Riggo44]

I am in shock right now. Can this season get any crazier? My prayers go out to Sean and his family. I just hope he can pull through this.

This reminds me of when Bill O'Reilly came out and said that kid who was kidnapped in Missouri and held for 4 years probably "loved the freedom he had because he didn't have to go to school," since the kid never ran away. It turns out that the kid was scared for this life the whole time and that's why he didn't run.
How the F are these guys allowed to just jump to mindless conclusions and not have to suffer any consequences for that they say? I would love for someone to slap them with a law suit just to shut them up.
