Whether the young man was a thug or not, this is a sickening story. If you aren't safe in your own home, ....

What an incredible shame. RIP ST

I don't know what was going on in his personal life so I can't and won't comment on that. What I can say is that I actually liked watching the kid play football. You can tell that he was bringing it every play...and I'm going to miss seeing that. He was definitely a great player and was only going to get better. He was one of the main reasons why I didn't mind watching Redskins games. RIP Sean Taylor.....you'll be missed.

Well said. Few of us know any of these guys personally. I've met and interacted with tons of Chiefs personally and I don't really know any of them. It's a tragedy no matter what the circumstances. I definitely admired his game.

Thank you for bringing some common sense to this thread, and not automatically assuming that because the guy had a well publicized scrape with the law he's thereby guilty of any malady that could befall him and his family.

Michael Wilbon of ESPN had a live chat yesterday and he opined that he wasn't surprised at all and that Taylor was still embracing the thug-like life.

Wilbons an idiot

That sucks. Guy just had a kid and was reportedly trying to clean up his act for him/her. Just another kid that won't know it's dad because of some low life. RIP.

Sure-Oz · 11-27-2007, 10:15 AM

This is really shitty, i can't believe he died, i hope they find the bastards that did this, rip ST, 24 years old, wow.

RIP, that's pretty sad to see someone who was headed on the straight and narrow get their life taken. It is important what he did in the past but he got himself together and started doing positive things and that's the sad thing. People who where saying it finally caught up with him, I think that's a dumb statement, he had some problems, he overcame, his house isn't in the ghetto so there wasn't that aspect. It wasn't like he was killed by a drive bye or a club shooting, he was shot in his home. I can't say as I know he was a good guy, all I know is it's sad to see someones life taken especially at a young age and who had such a bright future. Think of his girl friend and daughter, money can't buy you your happiness back from something like this, and not knowing you dad would be tuff.

Well he can meet up with left eye now she is dead along chili-mac and spinderella are still alive

**Rain Man** · 11-27-2007, 11:04 AM

Wow. That's amazing. In this day and age, I really wouldn't have expected a gunshot wound to the leg to be fatal. That's too bad.

On another note, they still haven't caught the guy who murdered the Denver Bronco player here last year. Another surprise is that in this day and age people can still get away with murder. Hopefully, they'll catch both murderers eventually.

It wasn't to the leg -- like a shin or something. It was the femoral artery near the groin. That's like taking out a section of the Alaska Pipeline. You can bleed out very quickly.

Yeah, in the movies the hero always gets shot in the thigh and do just fine other than a little limping, but I guess they never get shot in the femoral artery.

The thigh is a shitty place to get shot, besides the femoral, the thigh bone cares some of the greatest loads/impacts of any one bone in the body. If an adult suffers a break (like a bullet hitting it) it's quite possible they'd have walking problems for life.

On this same topic, heroes get shot in the shoulder in movies too and there is both the artery that serves the arms (not small) and a large nerve bundle. There's also bones which have a good way of re-directing hand gun bullets into other stuff which doesn't like bullet holes.

Petro is ripping Taylor and the University of Miami a new one right now....
