This is some bad news and not what the Skins needed at this point.

I really was hoping that he could come back healthy for the last game. I wanted to Dallas to beat the Skins with ST in the line-up. Now, games and wins seem kind of meaningless when someone's life is on the line.

I really do hope he gets better and recovers from this incident.

Thanks for the classy post and the kind words BigD.

ESPN reports he was shot twice

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Taylor in critical condition after shooting

"He's in critical condition and has somewhat stabilized after surgery, but things could go either way at this point," the source said. "He's lost an incredible amount of blood. At this point, we're just waiting to see how he responds to the surgery."

An Extremeskins poster said this:

Channel 5 news (Fox 5) just reported that Sean Taylor is in a coma right now. Do keep him in prayer.

Sean Taylor is a true Redskins...he has done nothing but sacrifice his body and well-being for this team over these last years...there is not a man on this board who can truly call himself a man....who would not do everything that they can to prtect their family and their home....he went to his backdoor to check on a noise and he was unfortunately he was shot....he did exactly what I would have done....attempt to make sure my family was ok...if he was a "thug" like SOME in the media have tried to paint him to be...he would have shot the intruder....however Sean merely tried to make sure his family was fine...doesn't matter if this was retribution, crazed fan, or random violence...a young man...24 years old was shot....He has become the unassuming face of the franchise particularly since LaVar has left....aside from everything else....we need to send our thoughts and prayers to Sean, his daughter, and his loved ones....

This is hauntingly similar to the intially hearing about Lenny Bias. I am shook. I wish a speedy recovery.

It must have been an inexperienced or stupid burglar. Most would have just ran or not have brought a gun at all. Unless it was ST's gun and somehow got shot in a struggle.

Man I hope he pulls out of this.

If there was any form of struggle sean would have lit that mother fucker up.

Who would do such a thing just because Sean is Sean. He's a playmaker and we need him. But right now I just hope he makes it so he can live a normal life. We'll worry about football later. Right now my heart goes out to him and his family.
