Really glad to hear the good news about this. Just hope he doesn't slip back into a coma or some crazy [censored].

Radio people in DC are making it sound like his girlfriend had something to do with this. Probably completely unsubstantiated and if so that is really [censored] up. Radio hosts keep saying that she didnt put pressure on the wound, how they could possibly know this I have no idea.

my cousin lives in Ashburn (near the Skins's home facility) and he tells a story of seeing Taylor in a grocery store a couple months ago and Taylor taking time to have a conversation w/ a kid and his dad, take a picture, autographs, etc. and Taylor being a real down to earth, nice guy.

also there was a great article on him in the wash post like 5 or 6 weeks ago (or less). Greg Williams is quoted that he "loves" him.

the "not a nice guy" stuff is not accurate.

like everyone, keeping him and his family in my thoughts.

question: assuming he survives (current reports are that he is squeezing somebody's hand - not sure whether it is in response to questions or random muscle movement), is it a foregone conclusion that he never plays again?

ok, I'm watching Comcast here in VA

Someone broke into his out, Sean heard noises. Goes to close the door, the guy bursts in the room and shoots 2 bullets, one hitting him in the groin, the other missing. His GF didn't see anything as she immediately hid under the covers. Flown to the hospital, flat lined twice during surgery, and was unconscious for several hours.

His house was broken into 8 days earlier, with the bedroom being the only room in the house that was untouched.

He is now awake, semi-responsive, able to make facial expressions and moving his arms around.

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.

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.

I realize that I quoted what you wrote but my comment was not specific to your post on the matter.

Doesn't that automatically trigger any decent home security system?

Also fwiw I think most of the lack of coverage of this can be attributed to the lack of information there is about this right now

[/ QUOTE ]

i think there just isnt much to say... is house was broken into, he was shot, he is in critical condition. as long as they update when he becomes conscious or other milestones i dont think much else is needed

[/ QUOTE ]

IIRC the media gave non-stop attention when Barbaro was in surgery and apparently had a better chance of survival than Taylor.

It's sad that ESPN is spending about 10 times as much time talking about Ricky Williams and Heinz Field than Taylor. Hope he pulls through.

Although it may be a bit much to speculate at this point, this piece of data plus the weird break-in from the week before plus nothing being stolen is giving this a borderline Rae Carruthian feel to it.
