I'd be much more surprised if it was. This really sucks, he was having such a great year, on the field at least.

Re: Sean Taylor Shot at Home
 

I'm curious what other information will come out about this.

Re: Sean Taylor Shot at Home
 

Saw this on Sportscenter this morning. Critical condition. He must have bled a ton to be near death from a shot to the groin.

Re: Sean Taylor Shot at Home
 

I recently read on a Redskins forum that he is now in a coma, but this is just a rumor and I have no source, except that apparently LS Ethan Albright said it.

I think it said his femoral artery was hit, so that would explain it.

Re: Sean Taylor Shot at Home
 

Fox Sports and Redskins Radio report that an unnamed source has said:

"He's in critical condition and has somewhat stabilized after surgery, but things could go either way at this point," the source said. "He's lost an incredible amount of blood. At this point, we're just waiting to see how he responds to the surgery."

Re: Sean Taylor Shot at Home
 

If his femoral artery was severed it's amazing he even made it to the hospital.

It's sad, but we need an "***Official NFL, Guns, Drugs, Crime****" thread.

I think it's a pretty common misconception that he had to 'turn his life around'. He got in trouble once for flashing a gun at a guy whom he thought stole his ATVs. He grew up in a relatively middle-class area, his father was a police chief. He didn't come from the inter-city, he didn't roll with gangs, he was just immature when he came into the NFL, like so many other young athletes who fall into money.

He's always been great to the fans and the fans love him back. He doesn't really talk to the media because he doesn't trust them and feels that they gave him a bad rap with this whole felony situation. I'll be praying for him and hope he gets through this.
