See: Black Hawk DownI cannot watch that scene.That's a big one...comparable to the jugular.
That puppy is a gusher located in your thigh area. It's always hard to repair because once it is severed it has a knack to retract up into the leg and it is very hard to get sealed up.
If you don't get immediate hospital attention you could easily bleed to death within minutes!

No. He was at his house in Miami with his GF and their daughter. The reports are that he was shot by a robber.
Robber hired by the gf? Something smells here.
I'm hearing his house isn't in the best area of Dade County.
I'd guess this happens like it does to other professional athletes who get robbed. They go out to clubs and run in circles directly associated with criminals. Those kinds of people follow you, stake the place out, and then try to take your stuff. The problem is when they try to take your stuff when you are at home to go around the alarms. Just my guess.
You gotta understand, being rich is dangerous in itself, let alone the possibility it could stem from the old incident where he got angry with the folks trying to steal his ATV's. If these thugs in Miami know who you are and where you live, whether or not you home, what do they have to lose if they try and rob you?There plenty of rich people who are robbed who have no connection with crime."The most dangerous men in the world are those who have nothing to lose"lord_helmet said:
Dade county is the cocaine import capital of the US, dominated by Cuban and Columbian drug lords/cartels/armies. There isn't really a good area in Dade. My buddy grew up there in a "good" neighborhood, they still found his neighbor's body with the hands cut off at his high school football field.
No. Shot in groin according to Miami HeraldSean Taylor of the Washington Redskins was shot and wounded early Monday by an intruder in his home on Old Cutler road in South Miami Dade.phthalatemagic said:
Not to mention, that timeline of events makes it seem like almost a dozen incidents involving Taylor. In reality, it's a bunch of updates on one incident. Not saying he's a model citizen because he had the spitting incident too -- but to jump to conclusions that he somehow "deserved" this because of an incident that happened over two years ago is foolish. And to suggest that two negative events in two years shows some sort of behavioral pattern is pretty ridiculous.There may have been other things in his past that are documented, but let's remember that he's only 24 still. People can and do learn from their mistakes and to my knowledge he wasn't in trouble with the law in the past two years.
Have a great week.Jlord_helmet said:
Seriously?
are you arguing that he deserved this b/c of what he did in the past?
For what it's worth in Dade Co., you can go from million dollar houses to poor neighborhoods with in streets.
Alright, name the incidents he's been involved with regarding the law. I'll start you off.1. Allegedly brandished a gun at people he thought took his ATVs
I thought we were supposed to keep it from going down these kind of roads and keep it strictly news oriented, not a big "Taylor's Past" issue.
Absolutely not. The seriously comment is in regards to the lack of reading comprehension exhibited by the likes of War Eagle, southeast and sleeper that can't figure out how to decipher a timeline.
Taylors father in particular is a police officer and Taylor wasn't brought up in "the hood" per say BUT again when your rich you ARE a sizable target if thugs know where you live.
Please explain what other events seem to have happened according to the above.
Not sure if they've had that PC yet. I doubt they'll add much. Taylor's family has requested that no more info be released.The incident occurred around 2 AM. If he's still in surgery, that can't be good.One report says a friend of the family, who refused to be named, said Taylor was shot twice.
Thank you DWJ
if there's any connection, I'm sure we'll find out about it at some point. right now though, there doesn't seem to be any so I'm not sure how relevant this earlier incident is here.
Thanks for the update. 24 year old with tons of talent shot because he is successful. What a damn shame.
LD - My point was very simple before my post was mysteriously deleted for unknown reasons after a staffer echoes my opinions in a later post?.Anyway, You had 5-6 paragraphs that amounted to one thing: ONE previous incident , big deal.
Fully agree.These young men live in a world very alien to my own. This is true for most others here. The facts will develope over time. Just as we have people speculating here, so to will the press speculate and then pursue those angles, as, no doubt, will law enforcement. If there is a story it will come out. In the meantime speculation seems somewhat contemptuous given the dire circumstances a young man finds himself in at the moment.
I didn't do anything. Problem with it? Yell at Wikipedia, not me.
A guy on another message board lives near him... said he was suprised to see all the cop cars when he drove by this morning because it's "a nice part of town and we don't usually get this type of crime here"
Just heard a doctor on the radio say the fact that a long time has passed is probably a good thing. Probably means he'll live.
All speculation of course, but this is probably true. Trauma surgeons talk of the "critical hour" after significant injury occurs. If you can get an otherwise healthy patient with a fixable injury to care within 60 minutes the rate of survival goes up significantly. In this case, an elite athlete with what appears to be an isolated injury could be resuscitated quickly with blood and control of the bleeding.With regard to Taylor's future, redman and others are right that this is a significant injury. Whether he can be cleared to play in the future depends on how the artery was repaired (with or without graft, type of graft, etc) and how long he could need anti-coagulating (blood thinning) medications -- which depends on how his injury is repaired.Hope for the best.
