The thing about Redskins fans is that we don't just cheer for this team, we feel like we are genuinely a part of the team. That whatever happens, we're all in it together. Losing Sean, feels like losing a family member.

I just read the thread about Sean squeezing the doctors hand yesterday and to see some of the comments you all made about Sean getting better just made me cry like a baby,defintely gut wrenching and a horrible day.
My HEART goes out to all of you great fans apologies for posting twice it just broke my heart when I read your other thread.
God Bless you all for being such great fans.

I haven't hit a lick today. All I've done so far is read stuff that makes me cry more.

Yeah the reality of it hasn't quite set in for me yet either. I just can't wrap my brain around this.

I heard a local TV station say it first, and then when I couldn't find it on ESPN or CNN I thought it had to be a mistake. I just remember going to sleep last night thinking, he's young and a superb athlete, if anyone can pull through, he will. Damn it.

MTK · 11-27-2007, 10:40 AM

I just keep thinking that he was only 24. That's just too damn young. 24 freaking years old.

Thanks, Nate.

Sympathies to all the Skins fans here and Sean's family friends and the Redskin team from a Steelers fan. Even in Pittsburgh we're in shock.

The last time something like this happened, I was a little kid, and Len Bias passed away. And here's another young man who probably would have gone on to become a legendary player, cut down in his prime.

Rest in Peace, Sean. Speaking as a father and husband, there isn't any way a man would rather die than protecting his family from harm.

He may not have always lived his life like a saint, but he was a genuine man who earned all the respect and rewards he got, and was working to be a better person, father, husband, player. What more can anyone ask of another human being?

RIP Sean.

I'm still stunned and shaking at my computer. Rest in Peace No. 21.
