RIP Sean Taylor

[Starry Plough]

I remember not long before I became a fan, a buddy of mine (same guy who suggested I sit down and give the game a chance) broke the news to me when it happened, and I didn’t realise at the time just how significant a loss it was to the team/fans on so many levels.

Anyway, this same bud was pretty low about the whole incident, talking up how much he admired Sean as a player and how he was one of the few guys in the league he really rooted for. The most significant thing for me though is this guy is an Eagles fan, who rarely gets attached to any player. So to see someone from an opposing side be so effected, I guess really says it all about just how much of an impact #21 made not only to the entire Redskins Nation, but to the game as a whole and those who enjoy it the way it should be enjoyed.

I was going to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone btw, but I hope everyone understands it’s maybe not appropriate at the end of this particular post.

RIP Sean
