Deion Sanders on Sean Taylor

[sportscurmudgeon]

Three comments:

1. Deion Sanders may have been a very good football player but he is not someone I would go to for lessons in logical thinking. That was a tenuous argument he made - and that's being very polite.

2. People who make links between the Darrent Williams murder and the killing of Sean Taylor [we know it was a homicide but do not yet know if it was a murder] are not stretching all that far. Both were young NFL players who seemed to have long and bright futures in the league and both were gunned down while in their early 20s. The cases are not identical by any means, but there is sufficient similarity to point out the similarity of these two tragedies. I don't recall any huge outcry that Darrent Williams was some kind of thug so I don't think a reference to him demeans Sean Taylor in any significant way - - except for the fact that Taylor was a far superior player to Williams.

3. The Michael Vick situation is irrelevant to Sean Taylor's death. Period. Exclamation point.
