Sean Taylor has died...

BleedBurgundy · 11-27-2007, 08:50 AM

I'm sure he had some sort of insurance, and if not, I can't see the players not pooling together some money for a fund.

rypper11 · 11-27-2007, 08:51 AM

My local NBC reported it as my wife was getting ready for work and woke me up. I turned on NFLN, ESPNews and then went through the national news channels. CNN confirmed the local news story but I still wouldn't believe. I still couldn't believe it until I saw a few more sites. There isn't more to say other than what's been said.

Sean Taylor was unequivocally my favorite Redskin. I bought his jersey, and I'll always cherish the memories of him on the field. I trust the Skins will find a way to honor him appropriately, but right now I want whoever killed him brought to justice.

I have no doubt Snyder will take care of them. Say what you want about him, but he lives for the burgundy and gold and will make things right for the family.

jaheem · 11-27-2007, 08:57 AM

I have no doubt that Sean's daughter Jackie will be absolutely taken care of...looking at the amount of love that his team had for him...the fact that his family doesn't seem like the type of family to gripe over something as empty as money...and also add in the Miami/NFL family and their continued support of their alumni....and the connection that Clinton Portis and Santanna MOss and the other guys had....and also the fact that my heart tells me that Daniel Snyder will not let that little girl want for anything...or the family for that matter...I can almost guarantee you....when the team goes to retire Sean's jersey...and have his name entered in the ring of honor...his family will be there....pretty much why I think that the ceremony will be held at halftime of the first home game next season....

He's in a better place now. But My God, what a tragedy. We'll miss you Sean

PSUSkinsFan21 · 11-27-2007, 09:03 AM

Rest in Peace Sean, and may God give your family strength and comfort in this incredibly difficult time.

I really can't add anything meaningful here...

RIP Sean...

Ditto...what can you do?

Life goes on...I lost an uncle a year ago this week

He was my best friend and lifelong 'skins fan, I've always said his spirit would come down out of heaven and destroy me if I let his death ruin my own joy with life, and although I didn't know him, I'm sure ST would say the same thing to the fans...

We'll mourn his loss, but we will move on.

RIP...ST

HTTR!

He was my favorite player on our Defence, and this day will not soon be forgotten. I have been avoiding people this morning on this because its just to much to take in right now.. I can only emagine the pain and suffering his family is going through.. May God be with them in this time of need, and may his soul rest in peace. Thank you Sean for the passion your brought to the field and for the memories......

Hogroll · 11-27-2007, 09:15 AM

These are all such wonderful post and sentiments. I am at a loss of words. I am thankful for the time we had him on the team, and never beyond my wildest dreams think that I was there for his last plays vs. Eagles when he came out at the half.

I feel like crying.

FRPLG · 11-27-2007, 09:18 AM

I don't think I have ever felt like crying over the death of someone I didn't know. Until now.

Good Morning Redskins fans,

Our sincerest prayers go out to all of you, Sean's family and friends and the entire Redskins organization. God Bless.

Many Condolences,

The entire staff and membership of SaintsRevolution.

Seahawks fan here,

Condolences to all of the Skins fans and fans of Sean Taylor. I went to sleep with the news that he had stabilized and when I woke up, I found out he had died. Very tragic, and my prayers are with Sean, his family, friends and anyone who needs them right now.

I think there is more to this story than meets the eye. We are all so overcome with grief right now, that maybe we are dismissing the possibility of Taylor's fiance' or someone inside the home. 900,000 dollar home, and no security? Especially after two weeks ago someone broke in? I think something fishy is going on. I wonder if when he was airlifted if he was in his street clothes. I dunno, I guess I'm just searching for answers. Sorry if I've offended anyone.
