especially in a division known for hard hitting safeties (Dawkins & Williams being the others)

Listen Im as anti Redskin as they come, but I dont give a damn about the rivalry, or about what happens on the field. When a man is shot is in home and is fighting for his life, this is a much much bigger deal, than some stupid game.

The worst thing about this is that considering the lifestyle that he leads, this isn't a shock here in DC. When the hell are football players going to grow the hell up and leave the "thug life" behind that they had? Hasn't what Vick and Pacman have gone through shown the other players that if you live like that, you end up on the wrong end of things?

Taylor may not have been a model citizen, but I don't think we should pass judgment on the situation. It may have been a simple case of burglary gone bad. But let's wait until we know the full details before we drill him for being too "thug".

Agreed. Let's wait till we hear a little more about what happened till we play the thug card. That aside, here's to him having a full recovery.

yep...a few years ago, Jerome McDougal was shot by some robbers in florida as they took his car...

Wasn't a basketball player (name anyone) shot earlier this year when someone robbed his house?

Also, based on the article above, this took place at Taylor's home in Florida...not DC...

I don't like the sound of "Critical Condition" but this could also be standard operating procedure for gunshot victims (anyone?)

I think your mentioning the NBA player who was shot during a party at Washington Wizards guard Deshawn Stevenson's house. I'm not sure if it was a robbery though. Antoine Walker and Eddy Curry were held up at gunpoint during home robberies.

Agreed. Walker and Curry were victims of circumstance. Wrong place at the wrong time.

He wasnt living the thug lifestyle when he got shot. He was at his home by himself, someone broke into his home, thats definitly not his fault.

I agree with all of the other commenters about not being so quick to pass judgment but I think that should also count even if he was involved in "thug life." You don't know how hard or easy it is to lead a different life, especially if you're a professional athlete, that life is all you know, and no one around you is encouraging you to be any different. It's much deeper than just "growing up."

Tank-- that bastard-- what about Ozzie- by calling Jay a "fag" that pissed off Tank who got some guns to kill Ozzie-- but then Ozzie hired Vick who had some dogs who were suppose to protect him from Tank-- but Ozzie didnt' get his dog before the whole Vick thing went down so he hired these guys to go to Tanks house but they accidently went to Seans' house-- what a mix up- and it's all Ozzie's fault! and Jay is the biggest victim

Sean Taylor is in my thoughts and prayers, it's a sad story. Redskin/ Sean Taylor Haters - thank you for having perspective in a serious situation, there is nothing more annoying then a serious situation that some idiot bastardizes by saying "I hate Sean Taylor, he's a fag and get's what he deserves" Cleary no one deserve tragedy and everyone has been very mature about this so thank you for being respectful and keeping the community in a support state =).

The hospital gave us a complimentary issue on the day our second son was born. We made sure to dump the sports section in the biohazard bag.

the attack was deliberate as the phone lines were cut. he also may have suffered brain damage due to lack of blood supply and you'd have to think his leg would be torn apart from the surgery to repair his severed artery so even if he makes it out without any brain damage he won't be able to play anywhere near what he used to be able to.
