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

I just learned the tragic news now. Truly the saddest day of my life as a Redskins fan. Somehow, I have lost all interest in most other NFL issues. Everything seems irrelevant now.

I wish Sean's family strength and my deepest condolences. We share your pain even if it cannot compare for a second with what you are going through at this moment.

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 scumbag that did this. RIP SEAN TAYLOR #21, AND #36. Folks I know this is not important but I wanted to know what you thought. I have a Sean Taylor Jersey #36. I did not have alot of money but I wanted to buy a Redskins jersey and this was when Sean Taylor had announced that he was changing his jersey number. Do you guys think that I should have this jersey framed and never wear again? Thank you for your imput.

no, wear it. i am wearing mine right now. when the redskins blow another 2nd half lead, you can look down at your jersey and realize there are more important things in life.

I possess no words to adequately describe this senseless event. I can't even begin to fathom the pain this young man's family is enduring. I found the words below somewhat comforting, hopefully some of you will as well....

From "To An Athlete Dying Young", A.E. Housman:

Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay,
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.

Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears:

Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.

From "Parabola", Maynard James Keenan:

Remember. We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion.



Godspeed, Sean Taylor

Sorry to hear about this horrible news. May he Rest in Peace. My condolences to the Redskins nation.

Guest Book for Sean Taylor at Legacy.com

Thanks for sharing that. I encourage others to sign.

I too am deeply sadend by this news. Awful, just awful. Words can't begine to describe my frustration when a person loses their life because of something so stupid or unecessary. Terrible day for the entire NFL.

My condolences to the Taylor family and you Skins fans. I've slowly grown a liking to the Skins after they beat us on opening day and I've been rooting for them to beat the Cowgirls, the Iggles and the Eli INT's.

Sorry, guys.

One of the most popular Skins, he gave us hope for the future and a reason to tune in on Sundays. He was going to be the greatest safety in Redskins history. God bless you and your family Sean Taylor, and thank you for the memories.

.:Tears:.

I'll tell you what pisses me off...

The media and DC LOCAL MEDIA AT THAT, saying that they've gotten to know Sean within the past 48 hours.

Thats really all that can be said in this PG forum...

fags.

did anyone hear james brown (from cbs) on comcast earlier? he ripped the national media a new one. he personally said he didn't know taylor, but the reports that were coming out at this point seemed biased, and personal agendas were in play. he said it was his job, AND the rest of the media to report FACTS, not opinion.

i already liked JB, now i like him even more.

I wish that I could have seen this!

he wasn't live, just on the phone, but probably the best interview on the show, considering that POS sharpio or whatever the hell his name is was sitting there.

My condolences to his parents and his fiance. It's heartbreaking to think that his daughter will grow up now knowing her daddy.

As a long time Bronco fan I can sadly say that we have been where you are all at now. It's no place that anyone would wish another person to be. You have our deepest condolances. It should not be that way.

As a father that lost a son 2 months ago I can only say that my prayers are with Sean's family, especially his father. There are now words that can describe the feeling of losing a child.

May God bless and watch over all who cared for Sean Taylor. May he Rest In Peace.

Thanks Rod. Only people in your shoes know the full meaning and feeling of this tragedy. Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss too. Your message means a lot to us.

Amen.

Thank you so much for your support and God Bless your son.

Thank you for your kindness to my family. Times like these remind us that it is just a game.

Sean,

The family of Redskins fans appreciates every play you made, every pass you defended, and every reason you gave us to cheer and to be excited about bleeding burgundy and gold. Your passion will be sorely missed. You were taken away from us way before your time. Our deepest condolences go out to the Taylor family and personal friends of Sean during this most difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Skin Fan in Amarillo, TX

I'm not real good with words, but I just wanted to add something on here as to how I feel. I've been fighting tears all day because of how passionate I am about the team, and how bad I feel for ST's family. I have a one yr old daughter and can't imagine what they went through, or what's to come. I live out in Chicago, and so no one out here really knows how passionate skins fans are about the team, and can't relate to my grief. I'm married to a Steeler fan and so she understands.

I've never met ST in my life, just enjoyed what he brought to this team. He was the face of the defense...he was superman. I loved how his gloves were never velcro'ed shut, how he wore his socks up to his knee, how his shirt was always untucked, his huge hits, how he walked like a total bad a*^ with a little hunch in his back, but most importantly, I loved his passion for the game. He played the game as I remember the hogs used to play. They left it all on the field.

I'm flying in for the next two games (next week against Chicago), with no tickets and no plans. Just want to be with people who feel the same about what's going on. I'm first in line to get a replica Portis 21 jersey if they go on sale.

For those of you who were dogging Gibbs, I'd love to see your faces now. This is the ONLY coach I'd want in this situation.

Fight on

To all the Redskins family:

Mexico is full of cowboys fans, I'm one of the only few Redskins fans and couldn't be prouder. I've been very proud of this team in many many times, for 23 years I've been a huge redskins fan, every year I go to see the Redskins play. This year instead of having a bachelors party I chose to go to opening game which was a lot better that a bachelors party, especially how the game ended. From my office and home I log daily to every single web page that talks about the skins, I just love this team.

But I have never feel so proud about this team than in this very instant on how we are all together in this very sad day.
Sean, you were one of my favorite players, I am fortunate to say I had the chance to see you play live in four different games, and most important that you always will be a Redskin.

My condolenses to the Taylor family, friends and all the redskins organization.

RIP ST

Its so sad.I can't believe he is gone.
