Sean Taylor is dead
 

Taylor Dies

Who else thinks his past finally caught up with him? It's a shame when something like that happens, but I can't say it's that much of a surprise anymore. :?

Live as a thug, die as a thug. Again, it's a shame, especially since he was apparently maturing and trying to turn things around.

I was just watching it on ESPN, and I was about the start a thread on it.

It's sad. He was trying to get his life straight, and he was cleaning himself up.

Whats with these guys from the Miami Hurricanes that are getting croaked? Have yall noticed that? Seems like all these players that are dying, they played for the Hurricanes. :shock:

I live near Tampa, which has its bad parts, but Miami is really bad. Tons of violent crimes committed on a daily basis. Being a high profile pro football player ads to being targeted as well. In the paper today it has an article about Sean's teamate, Portis, talking about how Sean had really changed after the birth of his daughter, which had been a year ago. What strikes me as being odd is that only 8 days prior his home had been broken into. The police report was that an intruder pryed open a front window and rumaged through some drawers and left a knife on the bed. This last attack occured at 1:45 am and the intruder shot and killed him. It almost seems to me as if they did not want to rob him but wanted him dead, unless some other thug saw an opportunity and acted on it. Not a good thing at all, even if he was a dirty player, death is a little extreme. His daughter was at the house at the time of the shooting, along with his girlfriend, which adds to the domino affect of his death. Sad indeed. :sad:

Yeah, I don't buy for a moment that it was a random act. Whoever did it, went after him to kill him. My guess is that it's something from his past...or one would hope it was from the past and that he was truly making positive changes in his life.

Whatever the case, he was a talented player and it's always a shame when something like this happens. Unfortunately, it never happens to the losers that actually deserve something like this. OJ immediately springs to mind. :roll:

Or, Tom Brady.

:shock:

Naw, I don't wish Tom Brady would die. I just wish Belichek would get deported or thrown in prison and Brady suffer a breakdown and go live under the Bay Bridge as a bum or something.

I guess, I shouldnt have said it. :shock: I just cant stand him. He aint all that! Everyone thinks that he is. No better than Philly is, and they nearly ate his lunch. And Randy Moss aint nothing either. Never was, never will be.
If Tom Brady would have ever played against Too Tall, Jim Jeffcoat, and Randy White, Brady would've not ever had a chance.
I'm hoping that Ray Lewis, and Ed Reed will be turned loose on him this week.

hate the game don't hate the playa

That aint right, mike :P :lol:

People around here are really tore up about this. The 5am news stories this morning were about how he was doing better and looking like he would survive and then 5 minutes later it came thru that he had just died. How in the world do you get up for a game this weekend??

It was not random, it was a definite hit. The phone line to the house had been severed from what I'm hearing. Why only 2 shots were fired is beyond me, maybe he surprised the intruder(s) when they saw he was armed with a machete and they fired wildly as they chickened out while getting a total luck shot that found it's mark.
