Sean Taylor has died...

[Hijinx]

I am stunned. I stayed up late last night hoping to get an update. I figured from what we heard he would start to make a comeback. Amazing how fragile the human body really is. I can't imagine what his family is going though.

He was the face of the squad since LaVar left. It kinds of sucks being in LA today beause they are not too many Skins fans around, and on the radio they just talk about the UCLA and USC game. RIP #21 you will be missed Hail to the Redskins!!

[JoeRedskin]

I am with those who are shocked, speechless and hoping that this is all some crappy dream from which I will awake.

Thank you to all the classy fans from other teams sending their condolences.

RIP Sean.

Well....I'm heading out for the day, guys.

Just wanted to stop in one more time, to this thread, and extend our deepest condolences from all of us at DaBears.com

I was really hoping to meet you all under very different circumstances in a couple of weeks, when Chicago comes to D.C. (Dec. 6th).

As I said earlier....
We may be on opposing sides of the field on Sundays, but we are also, and more importantly...Brethren, connected by a common love of the same sport.
Sean Taylor would have been a great asset to this sport, and he will be very missed by ALL.

We are truly sorry for your pain, and our hearts and prayers go out to Sean's loved ones first and foremost,
and to the great franchise and it's awesome Fan Base, of the WASHINGTON REDSKINS.


Know that your Brethren Football family, at DaBearz.com, wish you to know that we are also there for you.


R.I.P. Sean Taylor



See ya in two weeks, guys.

To An Athlete Dying Young

The time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.

Today, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.

Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay,
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.

Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears.

Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.

So set, before its echoes fade,
The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
And hold to the low lintel up
The still-defended challenge-cup.

And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl's.

A.E. Housman

Whatthefuck!!!!

Forgive me as I posted this on another thread, but I feel very strongly that it bears repeating here. We all owe these other NFL fans so much gratitude for their thoughts and well wishes. Your comments are greatly appreciated.

"Very interesting. Life can remind us of our humanity in very odd ways occasionally. Many of us that follow the Redskins have spent much energy spewing hateful things to say about our rivals. I'm guilty of it. Some of our "hatred" is in good fun, some isn't. But at the end of the day, we are ALL just people and it is human nature, at least in this country, to care about each others well being. When the chips are down, we can usually count on a friend, a neighbor, even a rival, to come to our aide in times of trouble. I have been humbled by the show of gratitude from fans of the Cowboys, Steelers, Broncos, etc. You all rock and you must know that fans like yourselves would be most appreciated by athletes like Sean Taylor. Let's all here at the Warpath remind each other in the future when we're throwing barbs and truly hateful things to say at our "Football" enemies of the thoughtful, graceful, and considerate offers of condolences they gave us on this day."

Of course I had yet to see the condolences offered from other team fans after I originally wrote this, but you have definately been noticed and appreciated.

[Guitarzan-54]

Ok.....check this out.....for anyone that would like to use it.





Whatuya think????

[Redskins_P]

I've been traveling the past couple of weeks, but I was in Miami yesterday to hear the news that he got shot. Then I wake up today to hear this?? I'm in absolute total shock.

RIP Sean. God bless your daughter and the rest of your family. You will be missed.

This very sad and tragic news...Our hearts and prayers go out to Sean and his family.
