[lzppjb]

I'm shocked. I just pulled up this site and espn in a different tab just to see if he was still ok. Espn hadn't updated, so I said "good" to myself. Then I saw this thread. Unbelievable.

this is just awful....i live about 15 mins from Commanders Park...I do not like the Skins...but I have said many times on this board this year that Sean Taylor was the best FS in the NFL. I am numb and sad. Wow, just wow!

 

[Cowboy4ever]

Wow,, this really sucks. I was never a fan of Taylor's and i have bashed him with the best of them, but he was a good football player. This is very sad and my heart and prayers go out to his friends and family, even the Commanders players on a day like today.

 

[Scotman]

How awful. I am truly saddened by this. I went to bed thinking he was going to be OK.

MIAMI -- Washington Commanders safety Sean Taylor has died, a day after he was shot in the leg, said family friend Richard Sharpstein.

He said Taylor's father called him around 5:30 a.m. to tell him the news.

"His father called and said he was with Christ and he cried and thanked me," said Sharpstein, Taylor's former lawyer. "It's a tremendously sad and unnecessary event. He was a wonderful, humble, talented young man, and had a huge life in front of him. Obviously God had other plans."

He said he did not know exactly when Taylor died.

Doctors had been encouraged late Monday night when Taylor squeezed a nurse's hand. But Sharpstein said he was told Taylor never regained consciousness after being transported to the hospital and that he wasn't sure how he had squeezed the nurse's hand.

"Maybe he was trying to say goodbye or something," Sharpstein said.

The 24-year-old Commanders safety was shot early Monday in his home in the upper leg, damaging an artery and causing significant blood loss.

Just heard on NPR.

R.I.P Sean.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I heard this on my car radio this morning, and I had to pull over for a minute. I feel so terrible for the Taylor family, especially his baby girl. This is such a senseless tragedy.

God bless Sean Taylor and his family.
