That was tough to watch

Here at work I was watching a direct feed to the press conference (so basically what is going on when the cameras aren't rolling). And one guy there, don't know who it was I only heard the voice, said that Gibbs, Williams and a couple other guys were in Gibbs' office and they all just sat there and cried before Gibbs went to address the team.

Takes a tough man to cry...

In a way I almost feel like this HAS happened to someone in my family. Maybe it's just b/c I'm emotional right now. But I grew up in DC. Some of my earliest memories are of my Dad taking me to Skins games at RFK during Gibbs 1.0. I still remember the 3 SuperBowl parties my family threw for our championships.

Redskins football is and always will be something that brings my family and friends together on Sundays. I love this team with all my heart, I keep up with them every single day of the year, and as I've grown up I feel like I'm a part of them and they're a part of me, as cheesy as that may sound. And Taylor is one of my 2 or 3 favorite players. I still remember cheering and running laps around my living room when we drafted him over Kellen Winslow. I wear his jersey every Sunday. I'm devastated.

Sanctimonious high horse is exactly right.

Sean was raised by a police chief, never got in any trouble at the U. He made a few bad choices right after coming into the league, and hasn't had a single off-field transgression since. But he "embraced" thug life, right Wilbon? What an asshole.

Wilbon is a sanctimonious jerk and many are finally starting to see this. Part of his problem with ST may be ST's reluctance to be open to the press.

I haven't posted all day maybe cause I'm still in shock. I pray that Sean comes back to health to at least take care of his family, who cares about football. If there's one thing that has occurred due to this tragedy is that it has brought all fans, members of the Redskins team (players, coaches, trainers, etc) closer as a family, we all feel this tragedy deep inside our hearts. As for our season, I say dedicate it to Sean and his family.

Everytime I go to Redskins.com I am not seeing Williams press conference or Gibbs? Can you attach a link so I can see this? Thanks.

That was pretty touching. Williams loves ST - has repeatedly said ST's the best free safety he's ever coached.

All of a sudden football doesn't mean shit and the loss yesterday really doesn't mean anything.

I'm just so bummed out.

Unfortunately this is what has allowed me to not get so worked up after losses...perspective.

Sometimes we forget these are all humans.

Sorry, but I'm not in the habit of having comapanies with their own public relations agenda tell me about black men and what they feel or don't feel.

Talk about an ego.

He says he (and no one else) knows what an entire race of men think.

How small a person he is.

Even his mom would be ashamed.
