"Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor has been shot. Pro Football Talk is reporting that Taylor is "fighting for his life." Taylor was at his home in Florida Sunday night. His home was burglarized and he was shot by an intruder. NBC 6 in Miami reported that there was a burglary and shooting at Taylor's home, although NBC 6 erroneously reported that Taylor is a "former" Redskins player. The Miami Herald reported that a man was shot at a home owned by Sean Taylor, although it does not identify who was shot or say that it's the same Sean Taylor who plays for the Redskins."

Hard to say how much validity "ProFootballTalk.com" actually has... http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm

FoxNews was reporting this

11/26/2007 10:34:38 AM

ESPN reporting he was shot in groin, which could very well validate the femoral artery report.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3127928

Local Miami news station also reporting extremely critical condition after femoral artery was struck.

Prayers go out to Taylor and his family.

Damn. Just damn

11/26/2007 10:50:00 AM

Miami needs to be sent to the bottom of the ocean.

11/26/2007 10:55:08 AM

damn

11/26/2007 10:55:37 AM

If another certain Miami alum would've been shot instead, there would be an endless possibility of "soldier" jokes.

11/26/2007 11:01:08 AM

I thought this thread was about a basketball player and some sort of controversial last second shot.

11/26/2007 11:02:25 AM

so much for Area 51

11/26/2007 11:05:36 AM

damn

11/26/2007 11:10:37 AM

Steve Foley had his femoral artery severed from a gunshot wound before the start of last year and he was still limping more than a year later.

Even if he pulls through this, his NFL career may be in jeopardy.

11/26/2007 11:12:30 AM

this sucks

11/26/2007 11:51:25 AM

So Clinton Portis is on Fox News and someone asked him if because some U Miami player/alum got shot a few years back, if he thought it was something about the UM program and Clinton said something along the lines of 'it's not the program, it's life....things happen every day....there was a shooting with some kids from Memphis and some kids got shot at Arizona'........ Anyone know what 'Arizona' incident he's talking about?

11/26/2007 12:21:17 PM

yeah their running back capped someone IIRC

I think he shot him in head

Wade was his name I'm pretty sure

11/26/2007 12:24:21 PM

ahhh, ok, I knew about Loren Wade, but that was the case of a team member shooting a team member so it's not exactly random violence...... thanks

great news:

"MIAMI, Nov. 27 -- Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor was responsive and squeezed the hand of a doctor tonight, after seven hours of surgery for a gunshot wound suffered at his home early Monday."

11/26/2007 8:21:58 PM

Im worried about brain damage with the amount of blood he lost.

11/26/2007 8:26:36 PM

Horrible, horrible news. Prayers go out to Sean and his family.

11/26/2007 8:34:41 PM

you can take the kid out of the ghetto.....

11/26/2007 8:57:58 PM

^ but you can't get the ghetto out of the kid's mansion?

11/26/2007 9:23:40 PM

i hope he has something to fall back on when he can't play football anymore.

11/27/2007 12:16:07 AM

but how was he in miami if he plays for the redskins. typically you don't go home to your off-season house. something fishy is going on with that story.

11/27/2007 12:21:45 AM

typically when shit is sketch or unexplained cocaine is involved some how. trust me. i know what i'm talking about.

What kind of shit is this? Its a big city. This has nothing to do with Miami or UM. He is a high-profile athlete. And this all happened in a really nice part, way far out in the suburbs in South Dade. Someone has been targeting him for a while. It was reported that he already had an intruder leave shit in his bedroom from an earlier break-in. I'm just thankful he had access to one of the best trauma hospitals in the country and that he is responsive.

But something is fishy. He knew something was going on and wanted to check on his house in Palmetto Bay.

11/27/2007 12:28:03 AM

^^^ Taylor was injured and was scheduled to be out for a few weeks with a knee sprain.. not sure what the Redskins policy is but I do knot that the Eagles had a policy that if you were hurt and weren't going to play then you didn't travel with the team. You stayed back to rehab. Again not sure if Gibbs has same policy but could be an explanation of why he was in Miami.

11/27/2007 12:33:20 AM

blown coverage

11/27/2007 12:52:26 AM

there goes his shot at the pro bowl

11/27/2007 12:57:56 AM

Tank Johnson was right!

11/27/2007 1:03:54 AM

This sucks

Get Well Soon!

11/27/2007 1:06:49 AM

It's not the first time he's been involved in ghetto drama and been shot at. Out of all the times they picked to rob his house, they picked a time when he was at home? That seems suspect. He is gone half the damn year, and everyone knows when he is not at home.

11/27/2007 1:08:41 AM

Just announced that hes dead on ESPN Radio.

this sucks

11/27/2007 6:10:54 AM

RIP

11/27/2007 6:22:09 AM

why is there like zero coverage of this

nothin is updated on the website and they aint talkin about it on tv

11/27/2007 6:28:51 AM

This sucks. He's one of the best college players I've ever seen.

11/27/2007 6:46:36 AM

they talked about it on WRAL morning news.. he was pronounced dead

if sean taylor was kayne west's brother there probably would be a lot more coverage...

that aside, this is real bad, anything can happen on a given day.
