Sean Taylor Shot in the Thigh (UPDATED 6:54 PM)

[SouperMeister]

Hopefully Taylor didn't suffer brain damage from the blood loss. I'm looking at this like the Kevin Everett situation - even if he doesn't play another down, recovering to the point that he can function and care for his family is the most important thing to hope for.

I completely did not mean to derail this thread with a dumb post...lets get back to what matters...Sean Taylor getting better

Drew Rosenhaus confirms he's out of surgery and in extrememly critical condition.

One good thing I am not hearing is that he is in "grave" condition.

Grave is a term used when you are slipping away.

Never thought extremely critical would be good news.

I feel sad, upset, and dejected. This is cold blood attempted murder! A man should be safe in his own home...if you're going to rob somebody at gun point why don't you just f'ing ask him to give you what he has instead of shooting him?

Here is a link to Redskins.com with some player interviews. CP's is one of his best friends. I think it must be very hard for him to deal with this and give a this interview.

I read on an eagles fan site (in a post without a link) that Taylor was DOA at the hospital, but they revived him. If so, that's not good as he may have suffered brain damage.

Possible brain damage?? Oh no. Damn it damn it damn it. I'm with SGG on the feeling of rage. An eye for an eye is no way to live, but I wouldn't mind seeing something awful happen to whoever is responsible for this.

The Miami Herald does make it sound more like an attempted murder rather than an attempted robbery. There are so many reports it is impossible to know what to believe. Apparently it was not the first time someone had tried to break into his home recently, which might account for why he was down there (as JLC and others have pointed out).

Don't get ahead of ourselves.

No one can tell much now.

Prayers and patience are what's needed now.

Of course I'm speculating, but this has to be a targeted attack. The neighborhood is pretty swanky, neighbors have said it's very peaceful, and his home has been targeted several times.

According to Richard Sharpstein, ST's Lawyer... It was a break-in.. He was with his GF and his baby. He got up, grabbed a machete, shots were fired in his living room. Two shots were fired. One missed, one severed his femoral artery. The injury is very very bad. His life is still in danger. Doctors are concerned that there could be brain damage. He's still unconscious.

This is the latest from his attorney.

Shit! I hope there is no brain damage! This sucks...Im in class but this is all I can think about! I hope he comes out of this alright, for his daughters sake!

As for others who feel like superman is hurt, that is exactly how I feel. It is scary and sad, and humbling to see such a strong person be in a weak condition. Lets just pray he can come out of this alright, and be there for his daughter and GF.

Because they are dumb cowards.

[jgalecpa]

I wonder if they assumed he's be away because it was game day.

[jgalecpa]

I listened to John Zarella reporting doctors were "worried about possible brain damage."

A few minutes later, a MASN reporter quoted Zarella as saying Docs were "VERY worried.." Zarella didn't say "very"

Just heard the same reporter quote him as saying they were 'VERY MUCH worried..."

Watch those reports!

Words matter.

Get it right, guys.
