Out of Surgery-"in better shape"

From the Miami Herald:

At least one armed intruder had broken into the $900,000 Palmetto Bay house of the star NFL player and were at his bedroom door. Taylor rose from bed to investigate, and just outside his bedroom, was shot in the groin and critically wounded. He collapsed back into the room, where he breathed heavily as blood gushed from his wound, according to Taylor's lawyer and family friend, Richard Sharpstein....Sharpstein said Taylor, 24, emerged from surgery in better shape and will likely live. He is in intensive care and doctors have allowed his family to see him.

Some light at the end of the tunnel..

Thanks for the update. Now is a time to just pray for Taylor, but now that I hear that he is getting better I am starting to be filled with rage. I hate to admit it, as all we should care about is ST getting better, but I want to see the cowards carrying those guns found in a dumpster somewhere.

This is some great news! Hopefully the report is true and he is out of surgery alive.

I was in Secret Service HQ the day Reagan was shot, and will never forget the wrong reporting that went on that day.

I was hesitant to post this, but did because it named the source and the source would be in a position to know.

Be careful of everything you hear for the next 24 hours.

I have not had time to read/listen to internet and talk show hosts comments, but it seems like some reporters were questioning why Taylor was not traveling with the team. These reporters should do a little more research before making comments as Jason LaConfora made a great point on his insider:

"Now, part of the reason why those injured players are not traveling with the team is to avoid excess travel. No sense constricting legs and ankles and risking swelling to these kind of ligament strains in the air. "
