Merged: Pray for Sean Taylor | Dead at 24

Yeah, he's a Redskin and a Miami resident and a former Cane:

My prayers are with him and his family.

can't say I'm suprised. he wasn't exactly the type of person to have good karma following him. Never liked the guy, typical Canes product.

But no one deserves that. He will be in my prayers.

how's clarrett doin' these days gish?

using clarett as an example of the products of OSU would be like using Ken Dorsey as an example from Miami.

Someone on another board who supposedly has a source at the hospital says that Taylor died on the operating table but it hasn't been released yet. Don't know if it is true or not, but there it is.

Or Bernie Kosar, or Jim Kelly, or Jerome Brown, or Jonathan Vilma or...well, or the vast majority of UM players who've never been in any trouble with the law.

Either way, Clarrett is the sole example from OSU. UM is known for producing murderers, convicts, and loud mouthed thugs with no respect for anyone. Any dispute of this would be pointless, it's as a fact.

Sean Taylor happens to be one of the nicest people you would ever meet!! He is a very, very generous person. My friend coaches a pop warner football team that won 3 national titles in a row, and Sean bought every single person involved with the team rings. They were all encased with diamonds and looked the size of SB rings.

you have absolutely no reason not to like the guy, but because he is a Cane you think he had it coming?

Wow!

No, it's not. It's baloney. Every major program produces bad apples. I can name examples from every school, from Penn State to Notre Dame.

To dispute it is pointless, because it's obvious that you are clueless and biased on the matter.

Wanted to add: this guy is now saying that he was wrong, that Taylor is not dead, just in very bad shape. Like I said, I was just reporting the rumor, glad it turned out not to be true.

Thats not what my friend told me, and he's at the hospital right now. He said that no information is being released.

Could be true though because the people who work there would be the only ones who could have that info other than his mom or dad.

Seans house is roped off with 3 crime scene vans in the driveway.

I just got off the phone with my friend who is there at the hospital with his mother and father. He just now told me that at this momment Sean made it thru surgery and is still in very critical condition.

Thanks for the update.

that's good news Ozzie, thanks bro

First of all, my thoughts and prayers go out to Taylor and the Taylor family.

You would think that being shot in the lower part of the body was a blessing, but I hear he was shot in the biggest artery in the lower part of the body and the blood loss is what has put him in critical condition.

Taylor definitely is not a saint, and this possibily in connection to some of his past events in life, but nobody is deserving of this . . . especially with his girlfriend and infant son at home with him, I hope they catch the bum/bums that did this.

My goodness, what can be said? I pray that Sean and his family pull through this tragedy.

He is young and in good health, he made it to the hospital so hopefully they will be able to keep blood in him that he may live.

Trust me, there is a lot more than meets the eye in the case where Taylor was put on probation. He was surely wrong by pulling a gun on someone who stole something from him though.

When he was a Cane, no one ever herd about him getting in trouble or even talking smack with people on and off the field. When he got that huge signing bonus it went to his head, and he was even getting into fights with his best friends. Ever since he went thru court, he has changed back to the Sean of old. He made up with all his friends by calling them or showing up at their doors to appologize.

I think this incident is by the very same people who targeted him last time.

I agree,

I was listening to a Clinton Portis interview on this shooting, and he said that it could have happened to anybody. Like it was a bad luck thing.

I don't think so . . . all of the huge houses in Palmetto Bay, and they happen to go after Taylor (and they fired shots on top of it), I'm thinking he definitely knew the people who did this, or the people who did this had a connection with someone he knew.

It's going to once again look bad on Taylor and the UM program, but hey, we are used to getting negative opinions of the program and the former/current players, even tho the players change and the program is changing.

I still wish the best to Sean, and hopefully he makes a full recovery . . . he IMO is up there with Ed Reed as the best safety in the league.

I just read a report saying he was shot in the groin... wouldn't be surprised if it was some pshyco ex-girfriend trying to hit something else

Wait a minute kdawg, a man has his home broken into by armed thugs and they shoot him in the leg, and it reflects poorly on the Hurricanes program?

How about it reflects badly on these scum who would do such a thing?

Maybe he has some inside info that the thugs who shot him were also from um? :escape:
