The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

you know what is so unbelievable??? i have been reading redskin message boards all day. on here, on extremeskins, on hailredskins. THOROUGHLY covering the message boards are cowboy fans offering their condolences. not to mention how many posts start... "i am a bills fan..., i am a broncos fan... i ...

NFL teams may have large rosters but the fraternity of NFL players is still a small one. So what if they want to respect one of their one? He's played against the Cowboys on six different occasions, it would have been seven had he played this year. What else would their motive possibly be than to ...

Bram Weinstein (who choked up while talking about the mood at Redskins Park) said the Cowboys asked for several 21 stickers to wear in some fashion when they play the Packers. That's just a class act. I already respect that organization and many of its fans but my respect for both went way up today ...

Pedro Taylor said, "I can only hope and pray that Sean's life was not in vain that it might touch others in a special way"

I can already say this.... over the course of my Redskin fanhood, i have suffered through so many heart wrenching losses. i am sure many of you can relate, as redskin fans ...

a total class act... however, lets not lose our minds.

i keep going back to their site, just to see our colors. i am still in disbelief.

personally, i loved it when he picked up the blocked punt last year vs. dallas. and how gibbs said that of all the players on the field, the one guys hands he wanted that ball in was STs.

That is great. This is bigger than football. Unfortunately the same cannot be said on the Eagle message boards. I don't even want to go back to their site to get the link to post. Let's just say that it is disgusting - worse than when they booed Irving's injury. Not all of them but enough are ...

Guys I'm sorry that I'm late on this. I have been having trouble getting on this site all day. Anyways, I just want to say that my heart goes out to Sean Taylor and his family. My nephew called me early this morning to tell me that he had passed. Nobody deserves this and I hope they catch this ...

Hey Joe, it might cost you your house but try Ebay.. Also, check stubhub occasionally as people put up there tickets. Just be prepared to pay alot though brutha.

i know, i was originally holding out to see if it might be a meaningful game... i.e. if we won ANY of our last 3 games. then i was ...

if the redskins forfeited the game, sean taylor, somewhere, would be cursing them for doing so. he would absolutely want the game to be played.

I just been on nfl.com, espn.com, and others as even redskins.com it is wrong to stop jersey sale's especially all these redskin fans want to buy his jersey in memory of sean taylor it's wrong.

I know i want to buy a sean taylor jersey if anyone knows where i can get one that would be nice

did ...

guys, i am from new jersey and have already been to two games this year.... cards in washington and against the jets here in my backyard. i was debating about going to the dallas game... but now with STs passing, i am definitely looking to go and pay my respects before the year is up. if anyone is ...

Take it for whatever it may symbolize for you.....

Sean Taylor jerseys are going like hotcakes..... everywhere and Ebay!!!

I'm hunting one down...... because I love that man!!!

RIP.....Sean, we all LOVE you.

i have one from when he was a rookie, wearing number 36. now i am going to go and ...

On the behalf of myself and Broncos fans, I want to send my condolences as a person, & a fan to his family,team, & to the fans of Taylor,and the Redskins. Its a very sad day. May God bless everyone.

thanks for your prayers. we now know what you unfortunately had to deal with not long ago.

It's not gonna happen. He didn't play long enough to warrant the retirement of his number. It's not like the Raiders retired Bo Jackson's number.

what a horrible comparison. bo jackson wasnt shot and killed. and he certainly did not bleed silver and black. he only played half the teams games ...

i don't doubt it. say what u want about dan snyder... but he seems to truly care about the players and the redskins organization.

Yesterday, i was the first to announce here that ST had been shot. Throughout the day, i wore out my "refresh" button on THN as everyone joined in publishing updates. i never went more than 10 minutes without checking for updates. my biggest fear was going to sleep last night, knowing it would be ...

for what its worth, it seems like foxsports has been quick to offer info into this situation. they said he actually "gripped the doctors hand" and that he indeed did flatline twice. keep an eye of foxsports.com

I wonder if I am the only one here who feels as if he is a member of your family. I personally was almost in tears when I heard this and I have never met him in my life. My prayers go out to him and his family.

Someone else said this made them feel sick to their stomach, I agree

yeah, i said ...

since i started this thread with a post from rotoworld, and they were one of the first to report this news... i will consider this both reliable and slightly optimistic.

They say he is "stabilizing"

i'm sick to my stomach about this. i was supposed to put up my christmas tree with my wife tonight. i just told her that might be on hold cause i am so bummed out.

an article today on the washington post says it best.... the writer says that when the redskins read the story of goldilocks to their kids, goldilocks gets eaten by the bears. nothing ever goes right for this team. we are forever snakebit.

I'm surprised he's down in Miami. I'd think he'd be at Redskins Park doing rehab on his knee.

might have traveled with the team to tampa

on yahoo as well
