"He really didn't say too much," Rolle said, "but I know he was pretty much scared every time he was down in Miami."
"There was so much surrounding him," Rolle said. "Everyone was talking about him bad, so he just had to distance himself from everyone and live a life of his own. ... Within the last year, I've never seen anyone make such a dramatic change,"
Just like everyone is saying, except for the mainstream media... very dissapointing most media are trying to paint him in a negative way still...
"They say it was a burglary. It absolutely was not a burglary," he said. "Down South, where we're from, there were many people talking to Sean, a lot of jealousy, a lot of angry people.
"Sean, he had a large group of friends, and he no longer hung out with those friends, so you never know where this came from."
This is a shame if this is true, that people would go to these extremes because of jealousy...
Rolle said he and Taylor became friends as 6-year-old teammates for the Homestead Hurricanes. Later, when they played against each other, Rolle was a running back and Taylor a linebacker.
"They'd call a sweep one way," Rolle said. "I would look at him on that side, and I would change the play myself and go the other way because I knew he would try to knock my head off."
I love this quote from Rolle, brings back a lot of memories of Taylor and his hits...
