I Kinda Wish The Season Was Over

[12thMan]

Sorry to rain on everyone's playoff parade and positive feelings or whatever, but I'm just not into getting up for football since Sean Taylor's passing. So like it or not, you guys are the only ones I can talk to about this. Sorry, you're just stuck with me on this one.

I feel bad for our guys that have to go out there and muster up "emotion" and "energy" knowing that between every play and every time out, #21 will be occupying the dead and still moments on the grid iron.

Can you imagine living here in D.C. right now? I can't get on or off the train in the morning without seeing a black Sean Taylor cap on someone's head or a Sean Taylor memorial t-shirt. Everytime you flip the news on it's one of the first and last things you hear about. Just last night I was headed to a pub, that I never go to, and the lounge located right next it to (Ozzio's) had a very nice color image..almost like a portrait...of Sean Taylor at the entrance. It was blown up like an advertisement or something; it had some very nice words written at the bottom in Sean's honour. I just stood there and shed a tear right there on that cold, windy sidewalk.

All of the buses shuttling people to and from the stadium on Sunday had "ST21" or "Sean" where they usually display the bus route. Part of me wants to see the season end on an up note and another part, ,the larger part, wishes that we (I) could just grieve and think about football next year. I don't know...

I'm feeling better but damn..this still sucks, man!
