Sometimes it's hard to believe that NFL players are real people - they absorb ferocious hits and get up like it was nothing, act on well-honed reads to make phenomenal plays; we talk about them here with projections and statistics. They're not real - just automatons who get better when they're young and get worse when they're old and in between make some sick plays.

They're real and sometimes they get shot, like real people. I was shocked to learn he died - RIP.

He had a machete next to his bed?

Strange, to be sure. But in hindsight, this was obviously a good idea. Yes I'm being results-oriented.

Multiple break-ins - one where somebody leaves a knife on the bed - and the phone lines being cut sounds a little more involved than just a straight up burglary to me. It's all very weird.

disgusting behavior. Shame on you. No matter how you want to explain this line, you have to take into consideration the time and place to even make the comment.

How is this guy a mod ?

RIP Sean, you'll be missed in every Boys'-Skins game I ever watch.

Cutting the phone lines may have more to do with disabling (or attempting to disable) an alarm than anything more sinister.

Who breaks in a week before and leaves a knife on the bed, though?

its sad how little wrong a black man has to do to be considered some sort of thug/gangster, etc. dude was from a middle class family and his dad is a police chief. he had one run in with someone who he thought had stolen his property and so many people are quick to think he must have brought it upon himself when he's gunned down in his own house

so friggin true. The ESPN column about Taylor "turning his life around" is a complete joke/insult.

I don't want to belabor this, but the "place" is the damn internet. To the best of my knowledge Taylor's family is not reading 2p2. To the best of my knowledge most everybody here only knows him from watching football. If you are reading the internet expecting nice and sensitive, you are painfully misguided.
