Just seems like an awfully big conincedence to me.

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

Remember how Eddy Curry and Antoine Walker were held at gunpoint and robbed in their home? Taylor is obviously no stranger to guns, and his father is a police cheif in Florida City, so it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Sean had a gun in the house. Maybe he confronted whoever broke in and was shot in the process. This is TOTAL speculation of course, but how would the Eddy Curry/Antoine Walker situations have turned out if either of those players confronted their prowlers with a weapon?

We really shouldn't speculate on motives behind the incident. The story behind the story will be sorted by the police. 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.

C'mon, Sean. We're all pulling for you, buddy.

Redskins fans,

I'd like to express my condolences to your organization and above all the Redskins organization at this time. The Redskins have been the team I have respected the most outside of my own team the Steelers and it hurts me that one of their best players suffered this.

I wish you all nothing but the best.

Thanks man. Very classy. I can say that the Steelers are also a great franchise that has a lot of respect around the league. Thanks for your nice words.

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 think they will, however, if they don't, you and I will have our own. Here's to an injury free game.

[LRT]

We're praying for Sean and his family over here in Ukraine and hoping for the best.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

He is still in critical condition. Just reported on First Take @ 12:02 PM.

[over the mountain]

ST is one tough dude, he will pull through. thoughts and prayers for the ones he loves.

[Finslady]

My thoughts and prayers are with Taylor, his family, his team, and the many loyal Redskins fans. I'm so sorry you guys. It's not often that I'm at a loss for words but I am now. I just don't know what else to say.

[Summo]

Changed.

Clinton Portis now making statement at Redskins Park. My computer is crashing. If anyone can hear it let us know. I'm sure it probably won't have much info, but still.
