At least I am not the only one infuriated by his comment. It's amazing how the internet makes people think they can say whatever they want.

Dids and tuq are like the opposite sides of the same coin. One is highbrow and the other lowbrow about their idiotic posts. But mods, of course.

The dude keeps a machete by his bedside? Damn...

It was reported someone broke into his home the week before and left a knife. I've had similar scares and have kept a bat and a sword in my room after those incidents, I don't see anything unusual about that

To me it's unusual that he didn't have something more. I mean damn, that's someone breaking into your house, and leaving something that could be construed as a threat on your life. Totally justified having any number of firearms next to his bedside.

Muresan,

Is that really the way a top NFL athlete should handle things?

I remember a story a couple of my buddies told me awhile back. My one friend is broke, but the other created a number of websites in college that did very well, and had received a sizable inheritance from his father upon his death. So the two of them are out at a pretty upscale bar in DC at around evening time, when the wealthy friend notices a black dude sitting at the bar a couple seats down. Apparently the friend noticed what type of liquor the guy was drinking (an expensive type around a couple C notes per shot), and was a big fan of it. So he got the 3 a round of drinks and struck up conversation.

From the way it was told, they were pretty much shooting the [censored] about a lot of things, certain drinks, cars,etc. The black dude says thanks a lot for the drink, calls the bartender over and buys 3 shots of Louis XIII, which they take, and he says "hey lemme show you something outside". So they follow him and he presents a brand new Lamborghini. Shows em inside and all that stuff, but then says he has to go. It turns out (as if you weren't expecting it), it was Sean Taylor, and this was before his rookie season I think. From the way my friend told it, he was extremely down to Earth,and generally a very nice guy, despite a lot of the stuff you hear about him being a criminal,etc.

I just thought I'd share that story. Let's hope for the best for the young man.

are you joking?

Well the guy is still on probation. Maybe he's not allowed to have a gun?. Or maybe he is being responsible by not having a loaded gun next to his bed with a 2 year old running around his house?

I hope he pulls through.

My post looks different outside of the context of the post to which it responded. Somebody was pointing out Taylor's history with the law and didn't mention that there's some on the field stuff that speaks to the chance that Taylor is a less than swell dude.

If it's for home protection, absolutely. I will NOT allow this to degenerate into a politics thread. But he's a man before a top athlete, and he has every right to protect his home, himself, and his girlfriend from what turned out to be an immediate threat on his life.


edit:and his 2 year old child

Mur,

I'm not sure a dude drinking by himself in a bar then taking a shot and driving off is the best story to tell trying to paint someone in a good light.
