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

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

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."

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.

It sounds rather unfair to lump this in with Vick or Pacman Jones, don't you think? I mean, others have mentioned Taylor's occasional immaturity, but this just sounds like he picked an ill-advised time to confront a robber.
