I was thinking about ST just this morning...thinking about this past weekend and my brother's comment.
I visited my brother in Jersey (a Gnats fan) and I ribbed him a bit about wearing a Toomer Gnats jersey. He the replied with the most ignorant of statements, "Well you shouldn't be wearing that Taylor jersey, he's not playing anymore either. He was a thug, ect ect," with the normal ignorant rhetoric...
I drove off without even saying goodbye...
...any given Sunday....
RIP #21 Sean Taylor. You will be loved and adored by Redskins fans forever!!!!!

The National Anthem sucks.
What a useless piece of propagandist rhetoric that is.

Yeah it is a whole different story when a player just isn't on a team anymore and when a person was shot down in his own home. That was a real messed up thing to say.
I will never forget Taylor. He would have made this defense 21x as good with him at FS and Landry at SS. It's such a sad story. But I'm glad to see his high school is honoring him this way. RIP Mr Taylor.
