Sean Taylor dies from gunshot wound.

RIP. It's even more sad knowing he had a 1 year old daughter and that she wont get to be with her father anymore.

On ESPN right now they said Taylor and his girlfriend were awoken by a loud noise in their house, and then someone came into their bedroom and fired two shots.... just hearing that makes this sound like more than an attempted burglary.

Exactly. No f'n burglar goes into the bedroom. The point of burglarizing is to take what you can while not getting caught (which means not making noise). These guys failed on both. This was an attempted (and successful) murder.

"Eight days before the attack someone pried open a front window, rifled through drawers and left a kitchen knife on a bed at Taylor's home, according to police."

If that happened to me, I'd just pack up and move.

Wait wait wait wait wait...

So a "burglar" breaks into a home, does not STEAL anything like regular burglars, walks upstairs to the bedroom, makes all kinds of noise, unlike real burglars, and shoots a man?

He doesn't aim for center mass, which any sane person with a gun, regardless of experience, would inherently do based on common knowledge of the human anatomy?

He misses the head, at damn-near point-blank range, and the even bigger target of the body, and aims for an artery in the LEG!?

He doesn't shoot to kill in order to preserve the secrecy of his identity, like a real burglar would?

The phone line is suddenly cut, and no one notices during the ENTIRE DAY but only at night, AFTER the shooting?

And this is supposed to be an attempted robbery? BS. How stupid do people think we are?

This is a hit gone good, not a robbery gone bad. A premeditated action, not a random stop. A fcking murder of a father, not a murder of a thug.

The idea that we are to believe that this is an attempted robbery is nonsense and insulting.

Taylor changed his life for his daughter. God will bless him for it. Hail Taylor and Hail to the Redskins.

Wow.

Damnit, thats not cool at all. Last night before I went to bed I saw he was responding outta the coma...and to wake up to this.

And his daughter... damnit.

I'll pray for his family and friends. That is terrible...and I hope they catch the bastards that did this.

Man what the hell is wrong with you? That isn't even close to being remotely funny in any way. Why would you even post this?

My heart goes out to Sean Taylor's family, especially his little girl and his girlfriend. R.I.P #21.

R.I.P #21 Sean Taylor a very promising safety in this league you will be sorely missed for your hard hits, great coverage, and playmaker ability.

it's sad to see potential wasted because of poor decisions made in life. This was no burglary or robbery - Sean had enemies and ran with a bad crowd. ChiefFreeman

R.I.P, but when this happens to every day people they don't get this insane amount of attention, people need to realize this happens more than we think and they too leave families behind. This is tragic news, but damn man.Magna_Man109

Dude shutup.Seriously. We all know this happens every day to people, we arent ****ing idiots. And its just as sad when that happens and death is the same for everyone, not matter who you are. But athletes are role models and people that we look up to and theyre in the spotlight. This is a sad day for football and for Sean Taylor and his family. I live in Denver and we all had to go through Darrent Williams death..and this is just as bad.Just senseless and stupid.

or load up, get security or something. this is though. D.C. is crazy skins town adn this hurts a lot.

he was in miami

R.I.P to one of th best safety and a great man.the saddest thing is that he left behind him his one year old daughter. Hope for his family and team.

How sad. I would've beefed up security like others said or leave altogether. A poster mentioned being shot below the waist isn't considered attempted murder and I think they were right. Maybe the shooter knew this too, and also knew to aim for an artery. I find it insulting that anyone would even for a second think the [murderer] was simply trying to rob the place.

between this board and extremeskins, thanks to all the support from all the teams in the nfl who have come and post their support in our hard times, from our biggest rivals eagles, giants and especially from the cowboys, 99% of your guys have shown real class and have put the game of football aside to show your true colors. it's just a game.

to those of you who state "wow, this is not surprising" and feel otherwise towards this man you should note that despite his past, he never killed anyone and that in his final moments, he died defending his family and he is in most circles considered (with respect to our soldiers out in iraq) a hero for what he did.

thanks again
