wow i had assumed he was gonna live

11/27/2007 8:42:19 AM

i guess this is how the rap world felt when they lost 2pac

11/27/2007 9:05:52 AM

^^ except completely different circumstances.

11/27/2007 9:08:04 AM

I would like to say my condolences to the Taylor family. I can't believe he died. I feel bad for him and his family as he has an 18 month old daughter and wife. Now that I am a father I feel for those kind of situations more now.

11/27/2007 9:11:44 AM

what i love though

is that there are cowboy fans on FB in the taylor groups and online on the local news websites

and theyre like "rip taylor, pray for his family, REDSKINS SUCK"

i like to think that the ghost of sean taylor appreciates that

11/27/2007 9:14:25 AM

I can't imagine what his loved ones are going through. If anyone else ever wears #21 for the Redskins I'm gonna puke. He's the hardest hitting safety I've ever seen, RIP Sean, you'll be missed.

11/27/2007 9:26:22 AM

completely awful for the fans of football...no matter if you're a redskins fan or a cowboys fan

11/27/2007 9:29:29 AM

All over the DC media. I first thought he had screwed up again and was gonna live, but get up this morning and he's dead.


Not a Skins fan, but my heart goes out to them this week. It'll be interesting to see if this turns out to be a hit.

11/27/2007 9:30:31 AM

It probably was a hit

11/27/2007 9:39:22 AM

this weekend will definitely be the weirdest atmosphere at any skins home game i'll ever attend

11/27/2007 9:43:55 AM

Real bummer to see this happen. As a Giants fan I enjoyed watching the guy play, even when he was beating us up. He was an awesome safety and never even hit his prime. A real sad story here.

I remember in 03 I wanted the Gmen to draft this guy so bad.

anyone can get robbed, not just thugs....and there have been several cases in the past few months of NFL players being held @ gunpoint and robbed. Looks like its becoming a trend.

11/27/2007 10:06:33 AM

anybody can get shot in their part time house at 1:45 am on a Sunday night after the intruders had already cut the phone line?

unless it was his wife who shot him because he was sleeping around, then yes he was into some thug shit

11/27/2007 10:09:51 AM

And a week before, they break into the same house, dont steal anything, and leave a knife in sean taylor's bed. Sounds like they warned him about a hit

11/27/2007 10:15:08 AM

Its the U

If I had to pick a college where one of their football alumni was most likely to be shot, I'd pick the U everytime

11/27/2007 10:15:26 AM

Everyone on the team and everyone else close to Sean Taylor has been saying he's grown up since his daughter was born. Yes, they acknowledged the fact that he had a rough past, but people CAN grow up. Just because he was murdered doesn't mean he was currently into some "thug shit."

I dunno, who should we believe? All the people close to him? his teammates? or some random fag who calls himself "treetwista" on The WolfWeb that knows nothing about him?

yes they can. I wasn't aware there were rules/time constraints to follow to be eligible to get legitimately robbed/shot.

and he reported it, so he must not have been worried about telling the police anything.

He was 24, lets not make it seem like this was some 33 year old man who had settled down. He was younger than a lot of people on this board. He may have calmed down a bit, but few people are mature at 24.

11/27/2007 10:20:07 AM

you guys are pretty naive...i'm sure it was just a random robbery...vick didnt fight dogs...carruth didnt have his fiance shot, etc...they all had their lives turned around...i know that for a fact because thats the company line the coach and players gave on the news...it wasnt just NFL public relations training, they were being honest

11/27/2007 10:20:58 AM

Him being 24 means he was more likely getting into some THUG SHIT??

Tell that to OJ Simpson

11/27/2007 10:21:33 AM

well terpball clearly knows for a fact that taylor went to church every day and spent all his free time working with charities

11/27/2007 10:22:09 AM

^ you're an idiot - you don't know how to argue. All you do is bring up irrelevant shit hoping to trick some retards into thinking you have a point.

11/27/2007 10:22:29 AM

you're naive as a motherfucker

hey guys since this guy died, lets pretend he was a saint...after all, HIS TEAMMATES SAID HE WAS LESS OF A THUG NOW SINCE HIS DAUGHTER WAS BORN, THATS ENOUGH PROOF FOR ME

[Edited on November 27, 2007 at 10:24 AM. Reason : .]

11/27/2007 10:23:00 AM

Sorry terp you're right...60 year olds starting fights in motels happens all the time, and 24 year olds getting shot at is like a once a year thing.

11/27/2007 10:23:37 AM

I remember when John Kasay had people cut his phone lines, run up in his crib and start licking shots into his bedroom

11/27/2007 10:26:53 AM

Well, I guess you guys can believe whatever you want.

11/27/2007 10:27:05 AM

i'm gonna go with the odds on this one instead of the longshot

11/27/2007 10:28:06 AM

Yeah, John Casay didn't have people after HIM

GOOD POINT

I'm sorry, I forgot you need to be a thug to have people wanting to kill you, or just be murdered for any other reason.

YOU GOT ME THERE!

11/27/2007 10:28:29 AM

when a thug has a daughter, they cease to be a thug anymore

11/27/2007 10:29:49 AM

You don't have to be, but it helps.

If Pac and Biggie played the drums in rock bands, they'd still be kicking today.

11/27/2007 10:30:38 AM

dude, anytime you have prior charges involving weapons of any kind

the preponderance of evidence is going to suggest that

you were probably involved in some thug shit

i mean his house got robbed a week or two ago according to gibbs, which is why he was down there the week before

so something else was probably going on...this wasnt just a random robbery

11/27/2007 10:30:55 AM

what's naive is to rule out any possibility of this being random, or at least no fault of taylor. sure there is a possibility he was into something he should've been, but on the flip side there is the possibility he wasn't.

do you think all the other nfl players who have been robbed in the past year were robbed b/c they were into some "thug shit"?

11/27/2007 10:32:25 AM

yes

11/27/2007 10:33:08 AM

It was probably someone from his OLD life who didn't want to see him succeed as he was doing.

Sean Taylor cleaned up his act, you could see it on the field - he was voted by veterans into a leadership position on the team - everyone could see the changes.

I don't think it was random, I also don't think it was him being involved in some "thug shit"

11/27/2007 10:36:47 AM

[Edited on November 27, 2007 at 10:38 AM. Reason : obviously, before Smoot left for Minnesota]

11/27/2007 10:36:50 AM

1) Could have been a hit from someone that had recent beef with him.

2) Even if he had been a saint for the past 18 months, could have been a hit from someone who has a memory and carries beef longer than 18 months.

3) Could have been a break-in targeting Sean Taylor because he was a pro athlete in Miami, not specifically for anything he did. They may not have intended to kill him but hold hostage/rob him (see Antoine Walker).

4) Could have been a random burglary/robbery...doesn't seem like the most likely of the 4 scenarios.

11/27/2007 10:37:34 AM

Within the next two months, details will emerge to suggest very strongly, if not prove, that what happened to Sean Taylor was indeed some thug shit.

I can't promise that, I just feel very strongly that it will happen.

11/27/2007 10:38:49 AM

^shows what kind of person you are

11/27/2007 10:40:08 AM

A rational one

11/27/2007 10:40:49 AM

probably someone trying to go after Chris Quinn who got the wrong house

11/27/2007 10:41:12 AM

not when phone lines are cut, that takes a little thinking vs. a random act

"Sean Taylor cleaned up his act, you could see it on the field"

He wasn't hanging around with the wrong crowds of people OFF the field...you could easily tell this, by his play ON the field, since they're completely related

11/27/2007 10:43:49 AM

It seems to me that someone knowingly involved in recent thug shit would have been better prepared to defend himself than taylor was, especially after he's proven he keeps guns around.

11/27/2007 10:44:17 AM

No Tree, he hadn't spit on anyone in a game in almost 2 years, you could definitely tell he was a completely different person

11/27/2007 10:44:48 AM

I think its stupid to act like any of you know what really happened. There is a good chance that he was deep into some stuff, and there's a chance that he was being robbed and he tried to defend his house and they shot at him.

How many people are murdered in the 1st degree by being shot in the leg? How many people are randomly killed during a break in a week after someone comes in and leaves a knife on their bed? this is all speculation and that's well and good, but don't act like you KNOW what really happened.

Bottom line is that this guy is dead and its sad. Take your accusations and your shitty attitude to the chit chat thread. This is a tragedy and I for one would rather mourn this awesome players death than have a pissing contest over who knows what happened. Grow the fuck up.

11/27/2007 10:45:01 AM

he had a machete by his bed according to a couple reports

that's halfway there

11/27/2007 10:45:26 AM
