Sean Taylor is gone, he's gone. We're talking about one of the best (if not the best) player our favorite NFL team has seen in the past 20+ years perhaps. And he's gone. There are no second chances for him. He can't "unretire" like Favre, he can't "clean up his act" like Adam Jones, he can't "rehab his way back to health" like Carols Rogers. He's gone. There won't be another bonecrushing hit on Patrick Crayton to secure a historic come-from-behind win on MNF at Dallas, there won't be another leap into the endzone to saor us into the playoffs, there won't be another one-handed interception tip-toeing down the sidelines. None of that will ever happen again with Sean Taylor. He's gone.
But he's not forgotten. You don't always need to let go to move on.

Yep, the finality of it all is what is so crushing. Whenever I see highlights of him I just can't believe it's over. It really sucks.
