Sean Taylor Shot in the Thigh (UPDATED 6:54 PM)

[jgalecpa]

Drew Rosenhaus confirms he's out of surgery and in extrememly critical condition.

One good thing I am not hearing is that he is in "grave" condition.

Grave is a term used when you are slipping away.

Never thought extremely critical would be good news.

Possible brain damage?? Oh no. Damn it damn it damn it. I'm with SGG on the feeling of rage. An eye for an eye is no way to live, but I wouldn't mind seeing something awful happen to whoever is responsible for this.

Don't get ahead of ourselves.

No one can tell much now.

Prayers and patience are what's needed now.

Hopefully Taylor didn't suffer brain damage from the blood loss. I'm looking at this like the Kevin Everett situation - even if he doesn't play another down, recovering to the point that he can function and care for his family is the most important thing to hope for.

I read on an eagles fan site (in a post without a link) that Taylor was DOA at the hospital, but they revived him. If so, that's not good as he may have suffered brain damage.

Can you give us the link for this "claim" he was Dead on Arrival at the hospital.

That is a big deal because flat lining during surgury usually doesnt last long and is less likely to cause brain damage than a whole minute or two before getting to the hospital.

I completely did not mean to derail this thread with a dumb post...lets get back to what matters...Sean Taylor getting better

I feel sad, upset, and dejected. This is cold blood attempted murder! A man should be safe in his own home...if you're going to rob somebody at gun point why don't you just f'ing ask him to give you what he has instead of shooting him?

The Miami Herald does make it sound more like an attempted murder rather than an attempted robbery. There are so many reports it is impossible to know what to believe. Apparently it was not the first time someone had tried to break into his home recently, which might account for why he was down there (as JLC and others have pointed out).

Of course I'm speculating, but this has to be a targeted attack. The neighborhood is pretty swanky, neighbors have said it's very peaceful, and his home has been targeted several times.

I have been thinking the exact same thing since reading the Miami Herald article. If this is the case there is probably a better than average chance of catching the piece of scum that did this.

More importantly right now, based on the last Insider update, we should all be praying hard for ST. It's all we can do to help.

Because they are dumb cowards.

I wonder if they assumed he's be away because it was game day.

[jgalecpa]

I listened to John Zarella reporting doctors were "worried about possible brain damage."

A few minutes later, a MASN reporter quoted Zarella as saying Docs were "VERY worried.." Zarella didn't say "very"

Just heard the same reporter quote him as saying they were 'VERY MUCH worried..."

Watch those reports!

Words matter.

Get it right, guys.

This is nuts. I remember I heard it this morning on the radio and I didnt think it was actually our ST. I actually heard that some people are reveling in this. I actually had one girl in my class say it was the best news she heard all day. I mean come on, the guy is basically in the ICU. That's bad no matter who it is and what team they're playing on, that's getting shot at. This isn't about football or rivalries it's about the preservation of human life.
