Re: Sean Taylor has died...
 

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.

Re: Sean Taylor has died...
 

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.

Watch the tribute video on Redskins.com and I guarantee you will cry. Make sure you have the audio on.

Dexter Manley on XXX right now. Interesting comments on his relationship with Joe1

Re: Sean Taylor has died...
 

I'm listening to Redskins Radio now. This just hurts my heart to hear. The fact that even retired players like Dexter and Riggo have quivering voices is stunning to me. These guys barely knew Taylor, but they recognize a fallen friend.

Re: Sean Taylor has died...
 

I went to bed feeling better about the whole situation. But when I got out of the shower this morning I turned on ESPN at it hit me like a ton of bricks. In the corner of the screen it said Sean Taylor dies. I am in shock right now and deeply saddened by the loss of a truly great Father, Son and Redskin. My prayers go out to Sean and his Family. I hope the Skins retire #21 I really don't want to see anyone else ever wear it again. I've been choking back tears all morning while wearing my Taylor jersey to work. I just can’t believe he’s gone! R.I.P Sean I hope you’re in a better place now.

Re: Sean Taylor has died...
 

I also want to say I hope they can catch the evil SOB that did this and give him the death penalty.

Re: Sean Taylor has died...
 

Very sad day for not only redskins fans, but for true football fans. He was the epitome of a fierce warrior and competitor who had his faults but was gradually progressing into a leader who lead by actions. He will truly be missed by us, the fans, who observed from afar and were inspired not just by his accomplishments, but with his voyage through his perserverance and aspirations.

Re: Sean Taylor has died...
 

Cant believe this has happened. From all British football fans,RIP Sean..Gone but never forgotten

Re: Sean Taylor has died...
 

For a few minutes here and there today I find myself forgetting about this for a moment, then it hits me and I just keep saying the same thing. I can't believe this has happened. I can't believe Sean Taylor is dead.

It's just so crazy.

I don't think I've thought about anything else since yesterday afternoon. I am in a state of denial and simply cannot believe ST is gone and he will never be seen in a Redskins uniform again.

I must admit that my sadness is beginning to turn to rage. I wanted to start a collection for reward money for his killer(s). I wanted to see his killer(s) on the run and hunted by every cop, dog, and bounty hunter. I want to keep this thread positive, but it is just so hard in light of the tragedy we are all struggling to understand and cope with.

Re: Sean Taylor has died...
 

It pisses me off when I think we'll never get to see him play again, develop further in his career, the big hits, etc.

What a waste.

Re: Sean Taylor has died...
 

I decided to work from home today (fortunately my job allows for that), because I knew I would break down more than once throughout the course of the day. I was sitting at my desk this morning, and the closet door was open. I saw my #21 jersey hanging neatly where I placed it last night before I went to bed. I walked over to my closet, and as I held the jersey in my hand and read the name "Taylor" on the back, I dropped to one knee. I was literally sobbing. I can't believe my favorite player is gone. I just can't believe it. I'm still hoping this is just a sick nightmare and I wake up soon. I'm am so, so, so sad. I don't think I've cried this much in one day since 9/11.

Re: Sean Taylor has died...
 

I am real glad I am off from work today. I have been doing nothing but looking though you tube and such watching ST highlights. There are already more than a few tribute vids up. I still can't believe it has happened. What a waste,
I hope they catch the guy or guys. I wonder how long it will take. If there will be a reward. I guess it would be murder 1, so thats the death penalty, right?


Gibbs is doing a press conf. in 30 mins. Lord knows what he'll say.

Re: Sean Taylor has died...
 

I hope we, as a community, can turn the saddest day in my Redskins memory into something that we can grow from. The fact that a young black man aged 15-24 is more likely to die from homicide than any other cause is the real horror. And it's been that way for as long as I can remember. It is a problem that must be solved, [I]now[/I]. Sean's death just brings this crisis into many of our lives in a truly profound way for the first time.

I will always cherish Sean's legacy as a football player. I used to watch his highlight videos for days. You'd think that you would tire of watching the same plays over and over, but you didn't. It's part of what made Sean so special. He seemed to draw from a deeper well of passion--and fury-- than the other guys. It is, after all, the controlled violence and the strategy that makes football the most riveting and popular game in America. Sean was a master of the more violent aspects of the game from the beginning. There seemed to be a purity in the way he expressed his ferocity on the field. The saddest thing is that he was just beginning to control his own violence. By all accounts he was finally embracing the strategy of football, and perhaps life, and the results were paying dividends for the Redskins as a team. Now, we will never know if Sean Taylor would have reached his full potential. All we know is that he won't. It's a truly sad thing and that's why I began to cry today- with all of the other people who loved Sean, or simply loved to watch him,- when I heard the news.

Make no mistake, it is the world outside of football that led to the murder of the most promising and enigmatic player in our midst. I think it's time that we, as a country, and as a community, take action. Much like the environment, education, health care and the larger issues that plague us today, how long will we sit back and wait before we say, "Enough"?

Re: Sean Taylor has died...
 

I am devasted!

I am a Redskins fan from France.
I am so sad for his wife and his young daughter but I would like them to know that even in France, a country where the Redskins are not well known, a country where even the NFL's name is not well known, there are some people who really, deeply admire the man called Sean Taylor.

Go Skins!

Hey man, it's tough to see him die. It sucks when it's your favorite player to. Remember though, he may not be with us any more in body, but forever more his spirit will live on.

As a Football player myself, this is also in a way also for me to. The football players all over America lost one of their own brothers. Not all of us play at the same level, but those of us at the amateur level look up to guys like him while we watch games on Sundays to show us by what he does on the field what we might be doing wrong so that we can get better ourselves.

From the Steelers Nation Once More, Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Re: Sean Taylor has died...
 

As I said before I have never been this sad with a passing outside of my family. I didn't find out until I got to school, some kid came up to me at my locker and asked me if I heard the news, I said I knew he was shot but he told me he died. I didn't believe him and just decided to wait and found out myself. I walked into my first class and my teacher was talking about how he died and it was so hard for me not to just cry, a few tears dropped and I had to fight with everything I had from breaking down. I just couldn't believe it.

Does anyone know if Ryan Clark has made any comments? They were best friends right?

Re: Sean Taylor has died...
 

What a day. My dad called me bright and early this morning to give me the news. I'm still in shock. ST was much more than just another football player. He will be missed both on the field and off. RIP Sean and thanks for the memories.
