Watch the tribute video on Redskins.com and I guarantee you will cry. Make sure you have the audio on.

Awesome. Very hard to watch, but very moving.

Dexter Manley on XXX right now. Interesting comments on his relationship with Joe1

I'm listening to Redskins Radio now. This just hurts my heart to hear. The fact that even retired players like Dexter and Riggo have quivering voices is stunning to me. These guys barely knew Taylor, but they recognize a fallen friend.

XXX is saying they will carry live int's from the coaching staff at Redskin park momentarily

So sad. Not much else to say. RIP ST.

Very sad day for not only redskins fans, but for true football fans. He was the epitome of a fierce warrior and competitor who had his faults but was gradually progressing into a leader who lead by actions. He will truly be missed by us, the fans, who observed from afar and were inspired not just by his accomplishments, but with his voyage through his perserverance and aspirations.

I hope we, as a community, can turn the saddest day in my Redskins memory into something that we can grow from. The fact that a young black man aged 15-24 is more likely to die from homicide than any other cause is the real horror. And it's been that way for as long as I can remember. It is a problem that must be solved, now. Sean's death just brings this crisis into many of our lives in a truly profound way for the first time.

I will always cherish Sean's legacy as a football player. I used to watch his highlight videos for days. You'd think that you would tire of watching the same plays over and over, but you didn't. It's part of what made Sean so special. He seemed to draw from a deeper well of passion--and fury-- than the other guys. It is, after all, the controlled violence and the strategy that makes football the most riveting and popular game in America. Sean was a master of the more violent aspects of the game from the beginning. There seemed to be a purity in the way he expressed his ferocity on the field. The saddest thing is that he was just beginning to control his own violence. By all accounts he was finally embracing the strategy of football, and perhaps life, and the results were paying dividends for the Redskins as a team. Now, we will never know if Sean Taylor would have reached his full potential. All we know is that he won't. It's a truly sad thing and that's why I began to cry today- with all of the other people who loved Sean, or simply loved to watch him,- when I heard the news.

Make no mistake, it is the world outside of football that led to the murder of the most promising and enigmatic player in our midst. I think it's time that we, as a country, and as a community, take action. Much like the environment, education, health care and the larger issues that plague us today, how long will we sit back and wait before we say, "Enough"?
