I hope for a day where gun violence in the US can somehow be addressed seriously as a national issue of concern.
If Sean Taylor had been allowed to own a gun this possibly would have gone down differently. Extensive gun control doesn't stop any dedicated criminal from getting a weapon, and if you think otherwise you are wrong.

RIP Sean Taylor.
This has really bothered me more than normal today when I hear stuff on the news like this. I'm a huge NFL fan, just thinking how I would feel if this happened to someone on the Browns.(Not that I don;t feel bad about someone on another team) I wouldn't be able to handle it. It's things like this that make me not understand the world....

Hypothetical question:
If the football player who was wasn't a starter or elite player like Sean Taylor, would we be just as sad and have a thread this long about it?
I really don't think so.
As for Jim Rome's comments, yeah ultra-mega douche. Although his comment is generally true when isolated, it doesn't apply to Sean Taylor because he didn't live a dangerous gangster lifestyle. He was just the victim of somebody who was of what he had both in terms of football talent and financial status.
I don't even want to hear what Skip Bayless had to say.

How much attention did Darrent Williams get in January? I wasn't active in the forums then so I don't know, but that is probably a valid comparison.
