skylive5 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 How do you die from something like that? I would have thought an amputated leg as the worst case scenario. Maybe the blood loss causes too much indirect damage to other organs? Not important, I guess. Sad event, nonetheless. He was hit in the femoral artery and had lost massive amounts of blood. No coming back from that really..... just too much blood loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Obviously any death is a tragedy, but isn't there reason to believe he was partially responsible for getting capped? The only one with responsibility is the one that pulled the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeltown Dre Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Today is a very sad day w/ the word of Sean Taylor's passing last night. I'm listening to the local radio in DC http://www.sportstalk980.com/main.html and feeling the gravity and the pain of the whole DC region. Tragedies like this happen everyday, to both good and bad people. Because he's famous, this one will be obviously discussed more than others. But any loss of life is a sad, sad situation. Especially one in a situation where armed cowards break into your house w/ you and your family there sleeping. I have nothing but love and prayers for Taylor and his family and the rest of the DC region. I know many, many people who loved Taylor as their favorite player. For the Skins fans, their team has not been very good for the last decade. They don't have much to cling to except a few standout players. Very few. Taylor was one of them, and this has hit many residents very hard. It's just a game, but it's sometimes larger than life, and he was a hero to some. So I feel bad for them. Because of the way he died, I can associate w/ it (and I'm sure many others can as well) in the sense that I'm sure many have heard something that goes "bump in the night" and investigated. Your worst nightmare is what happened to Taylor. While thankfully such outcomes probably will never happen to you or I, it does happen, sadly, to people on a daily basis. When it makes the news, and hits close to home, being a star NFL player that many followed, it is shocking and sad. With that said, I feel empty for his family and his baby daughter and the whole DC region. RIP Sean, my prayers for you and your family.

whomper Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) I heard on Mike and Mike this morning that one of the Skins players said if the players were to hold a vote for Redskins Mayor Taylor would have finished top 3..It just shows what his teamates thought of him. Its a sad day for his family and friends and the whole Redskins organization and fanbase.. Unlike many other professions in pro sports the sad reality is in a terrible situation like this is the show must go on..I dont know how they could possibly be focused after this tragedy but I will say the age and experience of Gibbs will be very useful to this team in these tough times.

Bronco Billy Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) My heart felt sympathies go out to his family, friends, and the 'Skins fans. Losing Darrent Williams here was tough. I heard a news report this morning that said Taylor's house was also broken into last week and a knife was left on his bed. If true, it would seem that this may be a bit more than just a robbery gone wrong. As to anyone putting forth that he deserved what happened because of prior bad acts - I sure hope you & your family's closet is completely clean of skeletons - or else who knows what you'll "deserve" getting...

gilthorp Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 A tragedy...senseless. He was a good player. I feel sorry for his kid. Now that d00sh who wishes for injuries on players can pick up his backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip Cabbage Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Regardless of his past, he seemed to be turning his life around with the birth of his first child. 24 years old is way too early for any man to die, especially because of some heartless act. Sean you were on your way to elite status and your play on the field will be truly missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
