Just seems like an awfully big conincedence to me.

When you're famous and you make a lot of money you can be a target. We'll find out, but it is a possibility. I'd say it probably reflects on the individual who would perpetrate such a crime rather than on Taylor, who from everything I've seen in the past few years has really become a mature and upright individual. He had some problems early, as every story on this incident has taken the time to mention, but I was very impressed on the few occasions I heard him speak. He had a great understanding of the game and seemed like a very intelligent person besides. Still, your point has some validity and I'd hope that the Miami-Dade police would have that guy who was involved in the earlier case with the ATVs and the lawsuit in for questioning right now.

Athletes getting robbed in their home has been a very serious issue over the past year or so.

However, and I've only heard this fom one source so I can't confirm this in any way yet, I've heard some rumors that this wasn't a random robbery. Rumor is this was a crazed fan. If I hear more I'll let you know.

You're right. That has been a very serious issue. Wasn't Antoine Walker robbed in his home earlier this year? Was that in South FL too?

If this was a crazed fan, this incident would become far more tragic. Seriously, why can't some people just get a grip.

Yeah, it's a frightening, disturbing thought but a valid one. Unfortunately, it can be hard to escape the past. Hopefully, Sean leaves South Florida. It is bad news in the Miami area.

Yeah. I am not knocking the guy. Aside from some early bumps in the road(and the one large bump) he has been a great team guy. Doesn't run his mouth with the media, just goes out and does his job. I certainly hope he pulls through. We know so little about what happened though, that you do have to wonder...
