He was dating the daughter of someone connected. He had multiple warning to leave her alone. He was suppossed to get shot in the groin. Last week someone left a knife on his bed as a warning.

Google it. Its pretty crazy. [/quote




"google it- its pretty crazy". No, your post is what is crazy. This isnt the Godfather. If someone was upset about Sean dating their daughter, they wouldnt wait SEVEN years (and the recent birth of their child) to do something about it. Absolutely absurd post.



By any acccount (including very reputable Washingtonians Brian Mitchell, Gregg Williams, John Thompson and many others) Sean Taylor changed rather dramatically in the past year. He was a regular in team prayer meetings, became a film study guru, and even became a vegetarian to improve his conditioning. His on-field play and role had changed as well. Taylor morphed from a head-hunter who played in the box, to a dangerous free safety and cover man, often playing 20 yards off the ball. In addition to becoming more serious about reaching his massive on-field potential, Taylor made great strides this past year in maturity and family matters. On a local radio show this afternoon, Clinton Portis went out of his way to mention that Taylor would never party with teammates, preferring to spend his off time with his fiance and daughter. Gregg Williams said his new found maturity was quickly making him one of the locker room leaders. I think Sean was well on his way to turning his personal life around, as well as becoming a very good, and complete NFL player for a long time. I view his death as a tragedy, as well as a life lesson to other players- even if you turn your life around, skeletons in your closet can come back to haunt you. Hopefully (if there is any good to come out of this), young NFL players will view his senseless death as further reason to stay well on the right side of the law.
