Sean Taylor has died...

[MTK]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was thinking about how we're paying tribute to Sean on the last day of this month, right after the 1 year anniversary of his death. Then I went on youtube and watched some of his videos. Not to bring up bad memories, but the thoughts and prayers and support we had for each other that day was pretty awesome. The way fans of other teams made a point to offer their support was pretty cool too. I re-visited this thread for the first time since about a week after he passed away and read every last post.

We miss you Sean. As much today as yesterday and everyday since.

I'll always remember the first defensive play we ran against the Bill's the following game. Only 10 players on the field, but Sean was on the field in spirit. Most memorable play I'll ever experience as a fan of the game.

RIP SEAN TAYLOR #21, YOU MEANT SO MUCH TO SO MANY, IT'S A SHAME SUCH A GOOD SOUL WAS TAKEN AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE.

I still get teary eyed at every home game that Ive been to since when they announce individual defensive players. And I couldnt agree more we miss you Sean just as much today as that sad day last year.
