Eleven incredible Sean Taylor stories

Ministry of Pain

I have avoided this thread like the plague but I just can't not post on here. Sean Taylor was one of the all time best to ever wear a Canes Jersey...his NFL career cut short unfortunately. As a life

It is truly sad that he died, but if you play with fire, eventually you're gonna get burned.

Huh? I thought he was shot due to a home invasion. How is that playing with fire?

Say what you will, but the guy is a known criminal, living the "thug" lifestyle. Eventually, someone is going to get hurt, regardless of the situation. I repeat, it is sad that he died.

Sorry to be the first to report thisbut Sean Taylor has passed away, just reported local radiosad sad sad day.Thoughts and Prayers

Just a sad day. I really hope people are able to keep this thread clean and show some respect for the loss of life. Sean was 24 years old and had a full life in front of him. He now has a 18 month old daughter who will grow up without her dad. :gang2: Edited by pgreenfan

This certainly puts things into perspective. Forces one to realize how chilidish it is to complain or argue about a team's failures or achievments.

Yeah I think that is a pretty fine point. We don't expect sports to be life and death but when things like the Kevin Everett injury and this tragedy happen, kind of makes you take a step back. I felt terrible two years ago when Ken Hamlin was involved in that street incident that put him in the hospital. Must be an extra sad day for Skins fans.

Living the "thug" lifestyle by moving away from his troubled neighborhood to a new community where his neighbors were affluent retirees? By all reports he distanced himself from that lifestyle. By your reports he didn't. You don't have a source, I'll stick to the people who do. Again, nice of you to ruin the RIP thread. Have a good day.

Oh get over your high and mighty self. I'm not dancing on his grave for crying out loud. I am merely pointing out the fact that the guy made enemies with gangsters and criminals. This SAD story simply does not surprise me in the very least.

Sorry, guess I have morals not to come into a thread of people that are profoundly saddend by this and basically say that he had what was coming to him. You knew a comment like that would upset people posting in a thread like this and you still did it. That's wrong. If you want to argue with someone, go to another thread. I'm done with you. Let's please get this thread back on topic.

Not to disrupt the thread, but did you really need this incident to put things in perspective? You didn't realize before this happened that life or death is more important than win or lose?I don't mean to attack you personally, it's just that someone always throws that "puts things into perspective" line out there after something like this happens, and I just think it's way over the top.Anyway, RIP, Sean Taylor. Carry on...

You haven't kept up with Sean Taylor's life and are speaking out of ignorance.

Yeah... yeah... yeah... he's a changed man, had a kid, turned his life around, found god. I got it. Doesn't really change my opinion.

Sad... he would've been one of the greats. If it did have something to do with his "thug lifestyle"... hopefully it opens the eyes of Henry or Pacman or someone and saves them before it's too late.

So I'm not allowed to have an opinion? I'm sorry that I am not as sympathetic as you are. I feel bad for his family and friends. This just does not surprise me. The whole thing is suspicious, and I would like to see what other facts come to light. Until then, I am skeptical. Sue me. Edited by Maude

Hopefully they catch the person who did this. I'm in Denver and this is very comparable to the Darrent Williams tragedy. They never found out who did it although they know it was a local group of gang bangers and have a person of interest in custody for another crime who is the head of the gang but have not been successful in getting him to talk. Which leads to another point. That style of life, yes THUG life, these ####### go after individuals who talk to the police. So unfortunately the cops might have a hard time pinpointing a suspect because of the fear of retribution.

It was good to hear ST turned his life around and was able to enjoy being a new father. And as much as people dont want to admit, his former lifestyle (supposedly) caught up to him. To me this was an obvious and deliberate attack after reading some of these reports. So Im sure he wronged somebody and they decided to do it the hard way and took him out. (Being sarcastic & speculative here, but this is how an argument is settled)

RIP

After reading the CNN article it is obvious to me that his former life really was a part of his demise. While sad for his daughter and his family this is YET another example of what might happen to people that want to cross over into the lives of criminals. But then again- in America- it is cool and hip to love the world of gangsters. These scenes play out every day in Chicago. Good kids that just walk to school or some teenage girl sitting at home studying when some lead crashes thru the window. While sad that a young man dies it is even sadder that this is how savage life in America can be.
