I Kinda Wish The Season Was Over

I feel bad for our guys that have to go out there and muster up "emotion" and "energy" knowing that between every play and every time out, #21 will be occupying the dead and still moments on the grid iron.

Can you imagine living here in D.C. right now? I can't get on or off the train in the morning without seeing a black Sean Taylor cap on someone's head or a Sean Taylor memorial t-shirt. Everytime you flip the news on it's one of the first and last things you hear about. Just last night I was headed to a pub, that I never go to, and the lounge located right next it to (Ozzio's) had a very nice color image..almost like a portrait...of Sean Taylor at the entrance. It was blown up like an advertisement or something; it had some very nice words written at the bottom in Sean's honour. I just stood there and shed a tear right there on that cold, windy sidewalk.

All of the buses shuttling people to and from the stadium on Sunday had "ST21" or "Sean" where they usually display the bus route. Part of me wants to see the season end on an up note and another part, ,the larger part, wishes that we (I) could just grieve and think about football next year. I don't know...

I'm feeling better but damn..this still sucks, man!

12th I could not agree with you more. I was listening to the radio guys bitching and moaning about Gibbs screw up the other day and I just didn't care. I just want the season to end and get away from it for a while as I'm sure the players do. The bottom line is we are not that good, and with ST passing away it just makes this season seem so meaningless now. I'm sure I'll get the feeling back once the draft comes around, and I'll still watch NFL Network everyday. But as far as our team goes I just want 07 to end.
