Redskins Player Shot And In Critical Condition!
Filed under: Zportz
Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor was shot in his Miami home at approximately 1:45 A.M. Monday morning.
He is in critical condition.
Taylor's girlfriend and other relatives were in his house at the time of the shooting. Investigators are trying to determine what exactly happened.
Taylor has been in trouble numerous times since he was drafted as the No. 5 overall pick in 2004.
He has been fined at least seven times, for such things as spitting in the face of Tampa Bay running back Michael Pittman during a playoff game in January 2006 and skipping a mandatory rookie symposium shortly after he was drafted.
In 2005, Taylor was accused of brandishing a gun at a man and repeatedly hitting him during a fight that broke out after Taylor and some friends went looking for the people who had allegedly stolen his all-terrain vehicles.
We're surprised he wasn't fired after that little incident!
Taylor reached a deal with prosecutors last year after they agreed to drop felony charges against him. He pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors in the assault case and was sentenced to 18 months probation. The pleas prompted another fine from the NFL but kept his football career intact.
Taylor's family has asked Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he was airlifted, not to reveal any details on his condition.
no good.

Good thats what he gets. I hate it when people get all rich and famous and thinks there better then everyone else!!
That sucks but really who cares? There is a war going on in Iraq you know. Report on that not this mess!
Wow. The racists haven't been flaming this board yet? Is there a Klan rally this afternoon?
Perez if you're going to report this story, why focus on and emphasize the negative things he's been involved with.? You're just asking for people like T.A. #34 to sling mindless racial ramblings on your message board.
take the monkey outta the jungle but cant take the jungle outta the monkey
First of all, Infantry Marine's Wife, if you want to hear the news on Iraq there are PLENTY of places to find it. Perez Hilton is not it and it shouldn't be… he doesn't cover anything but celebutrash!
Second of all, as a DC resident man are the media running wild with this one. We don't even have the facts yet and they're all "he was in trouble when… and then he, also brandished this" While I agree many athletes seem to find trouble, we don't even know if Taylor was part of any wrongdoing. Also, he could die… he was shot in a major artery!
Eh who cares? He seemed like a real asshole anyway and finalyl pushed someone over the edge enough to where they shot him. It doesn't pay to treat people like and think they're going to let you walk all over them….cause they may just shoot back.
he probably deserved it
he probably deserved it

Hes hott, I bet hes hung too. *feels guilty* LOL
Hey Kate, finally he pushed someone over the edge? THEY WERE ROBBING HIS HOUSE IDIOT. Wow, the level of ignorance is amazing.
No one deserves to be shot. He is an incredible athlete, and even though he has a shady past it was a widely known fact that he had cleaned up his act in the past year since becoming a father. Not to mention that he probably did nothing to provoke this shooting seeing as how police suspect he walked in on someone trying to rob his house. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
for the person who made that little comment about blacks not finishing school. you are very wrong about that. i'm a young adult in my early 20's. i'm in school and i work for the federal govt. so i believe i'm pretty smart. oh and i did it all for myself. no help from mommy and daddy that's probably who you run to when things hard.
Re: T.A –
I wish this comment were not anonymous! I wish you and your entire clan could come out and say this…I KNEW you thought it and it irks me, watching you watch African American athletes hitting each other like barbarians… You get so excited and red in the face and love up on them so much…it's quite a perverted thing, white people and black athletes. I can't stand it.
Let a young thug die, who needs him. I hope he suffers.
Sean Taylor is the core of the Washington Redskins Defense. It is very unfortunate that people keep fucking with his shit.
As for the ass that said serves him right they played horribly in Tampa…
He wasn't playing due to a leg injury. So why don't you get your facts straight before you open your giganto mouth.
and to this comment:
Eh who cares? He seemed like a real asshole anyway and finalyl pushed someone over the edge enough to where they shot him. It doesn’t pay to treat people like and think they’re going to let you walk all over them….cause they may just shoot back.
He SEEMED like a real asshole. Wow. You just really know what the fuck you are talking about. Maybe if you have met him, your comment could have a wee bit of truth, but since he SEEMED like an asshole, that shows you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Someone was in his home, apparently trying to steal his shit.
For all you assholes that say that we need to take the THUGS out of the NFL.
Everyone who is in the NFL is in there because of their skill. Regardless of color.
Education wise, black and white, there are plenty of players in the NFL who can barely read or write and depend on sports.
It is obvious that 95% of the people who commented on this post are just stupid peckerfucks that don't know a damn thing and commented just to comment on perezhilton.com like the little pixels on the screen with their anonymous comments makes them feel all badass.
Wow. I hope you feel all badass today talking shit about someone in critical condition.
Wow another "brother" shot how unexpected is that??
Re: mark – I usually wish death on no one. You are sick. I hope you have a painful death or you live to be so old that all you ask for is death and it doesn't come. You suffer bitch!!!!!!!!!
Perez, thank you for posting this. My thoughts and prayers are with his family
Damn! Forget football, get into the junk buisness. No shootings there. Can't we all just get along? I guess not….
It's become Ghetto Ball now. What happened to the old school players that weren't into drive bys and dog fighting? Sheeesh can't we go back to players that did their hookers and coke?
Re: The Warden – He's a safety moron.
I know Sean, I went to school with him in Miami. He is a great guy and I am horrified to hear about this. I am praying for him deeply as everyone should be. Yes, he has been in trouble in his life but he does not deserve this - no one does. He comes from a great family and I know they are devastated right now. Please try to keep the snarky comments to a minimum, this isn't a post about Britney Spears running stop signs, this is someone's life that we're talking about. He could die. Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
Karma is a bitch isn't it. Hope he made some good investments (haha) cuz the only football he'll be playing is on his xbox.
But he looks like such a nice young man…
Re: meghan – it was a joke you tard. put your helmet back on before you cave your skull in.
Re: Redskins fan – you're obviously not a fan, he didn't even play..stupid fucking idot
Re: The Warden – i don't think women get football jokes..i thought it was pretty funny
If you go around putting guns in people's faces, one of these days you're gonna get shot. Sorry, it's the truth.
Re: disconnexions.com – Just sit back and let them junglebunnies finish each other off, we ain't got to do nuthin. Long live white power, KKK forever.
Re: smartafricanqueen – Live like a thug, die like a thug. That's the way it should be. It's nice to see the thug become the victim.
Re: p – well he shoulda that lazy negro
what an IDIOT! I don't understand why God wastes talent on stupid, ungrateful people. For those defending him, a BIG whatever…If you are lucky enough to be born with a big talent, why, why would you piss it away? It sounds as if he surrounded himself with low lifes and thugs…it sounds like he has quite a few "warnings" that should have inspired him to get his act together…but the stupid asshole kept living a risky lifestyle and it caught up to him. No sympathy here, sorry. I would give anything to have been born with a talent, and I for damn sure would not waste it…tsk, tsk…
Susan, you are a dumb ignorant bitch, you know nothing about Sean Taylor and you obviously know nothing about football. Fuck all you ignorant ass people who think it is OK for someone to be shot in their OWN HOME. He is a person who is incredibly talented… so if you know nothing about him I suggest you shut the FUCK up.
Re: p is gay – you're an idiot
Awesome athlete, he gives 110% on the field, hes amazing to watch. Hes been in the middle of a whole lotta trouble in the past but has been trouble free for awhile now as far as I know. Rumor is he has been revived twice already and in a coma, does not sound good.
FEMALE HERE.
I GOT IT AND IT WAS A HOOT!
Hey Asshole, live by the gun, die by the gun. I have no sympathy for people who live like thugs, famous or not. Just how "gansta" is it to have to shit into a colostomy bag or to not be able to talk because of the tube down your throat or to have a male nurse give you a sponge bath? Such badasses, all of them. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
soooooooooooo typical. you can take the guy out of the hood but you cant take the hood out of the guy.
anyone that is coming to this website for news on Iraq is a retard.
A big fucking retard.
Go to cnn or fox for that kind of news.
Come here for bullshit.
THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT!! A Black athlete gets shot during and ARMED ROBBERY at his home and the entire post is about his criminal background. GTFOHWTBS!!!! He had drastically changed his life, moved neighborhoods and was starting a family. Just goes to prove America still wishes the worst for black athletes. DO BETTER! Why don't you just hope that he get's better and move on with your post.
Fucking gangbangers. You can take the jerk out of the gang, but you cant' take the gang out of the jerk. What an idiot.
ok you forgot the most important slash funniest part perez - he got shot in the (groin) nuts!! hahahahha
He is kind of cute. I'd make him my bitch.
Never heard of him, but it doesn't surprise me. You mess around with guns and mess around with people who carry guns and you're gonna get shot. The thug life is a glamorous one, isn't it? Grow up.
this is bull perez i cant believe u let people talk like this on your post i for one will not be looking at the sight anymore and i hope others do the same FUCK ALL YOU RACIST IGNORANT STUPID ASSHOLE BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
some of you people comments are sick. Either you dont have a heart or your just that stupid. Im a skins fan and this breaks my heart. Get well soon Meast. HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!
What the hell does anyone expect when you give these ghetto dwellers a free pass in school, millions of dollars and no accountability!
a fuck you perez, saying he should be fired. If you would have done your research instead of posting like a fucktard, you would have notice that he did this protecting his family and that he has turned his life around in recent years!
hell yes - HAIL TO THE REDSKINS
Sean Taylor you and your family are in my prayers - You are an amazing athlete and you can pull through buddy!
We love you in Washington D.C.!
HAIL TO THE REDSKINS HAIL VICTORY! oh taylor we need you back and you are a tremendous athlete fuck what the haters say, you are talented and no one deserves to be in this type of situation, not even a "hood dweller", i promise you, where these boys are living around dc are not hoods and they are actually quite respectable running around trick or treating with their kids in pink bunny ears. seriously. (got 8 in my "hood")
Re: p – actually you're an idiot because he did play, a lot, but hes been injured
I love how theres so many disrespectful bitches on here that don't know shit about him. I don't know him but respected him as an athlete and he was a badass player.. the best the redskins have! No one ever should wish anyone to get shot. Thats just unhuman.
I bet if Tony Homo or Terrell Owens was shot and fighting for their lives everyone would cry about it. Bullshit. No one should wish this on anyone.
hey all you ignorant retards- why is it you say "serves him right" when it could have just been a robbery, and it could have been any rich guy in Florida?? I bet if it wasn't a celeb, you wouldn't be saying "serves him right". Sean has completely turned his life around in the last few months, focusing on the birth of his daughter and football. You are all idiots. No matter what someone does, people on this site find a way to make it their fault. Well, I bet some of you drink, smoke, do drugs, fight, yell, cuss, pee outside, etc etc so when you guys get shot I will laugh and say "well serves 'em right!"
He has a little baby, you all have a lot of nerve.
Hopefully, your parents die next so we can all say "serves them right for raising such a dumbass"
Bye!
Wow, Shocked this even made it on Perez! However, I hate how this turned into a fight about races. Sean Taylor had his criminal issues, shit happens.. Lindsey Lohan has too, but yet you all flock to read about what she's doing.. and you probably wouldn't wish death upon her either. So why wish it upon him?
Also, for the dumbasses that think he's some kind of uneducated "thug".. he went to the University of Miami, granted it was on football scholarship, it was college none the less. If you don't like football, the redskins, or sean taylor.. then why even bother commenting? Heartless assholes, I hope that if someone robbed your house, and you got shot.. people would say the same about you. Bet your family and friends wouldn't appreciate it either.
Born and raised a Redskin's fan.. I've grown to love watching him hit the shit out other players. He and his family are in my prayers.
According to the news he's still unconscious. He lost a lot of blood. I hope he makes it. He's got a little baby.
His girlfriend says that an intruder kicked in the door and shot him. I live about 8 blocks from this guy, and this is NOT a home invasion kind of neighborhood. And he lives on a busy street in a big house with an electronic gate. This was not at all random. Whoever shot him knew exactly whose door they kicked in. This was personal. The cops and the news have been camped out there all day. I hope they find out what really happened.
#21 is the man and anyone who knows football knows it… he's the toughest guy in football and he'll pull through, gotta have faith. Lot of love from DC for ST tonight.
wow its sad to see how much ignorance exists in our world and how many of you bitches are more concerned about britney spears' antics then the life of a human being. SEAN TAYLOR FOR LIFE
Though its been said, I'll reiterate that Sean Taylor has completely turned his life around in the last year and a half. This shooting was a result of a home invasion–not some sort of comeuppance for some previous wrongdoing. For those of you who have posted that he had this coming, or worse, the ridiculous, ignorant racist bullshit–Fuck You. Fuck you and your cowardly, backwards ideas. DC loves you, #21, and we're all praying for you!
Re: natalie – I've just realized that I have to stop looking at this site. You get kind of addicted to this crap but looking at these posts makes me realize just what I'm becoming. I'm sick with myself for looking at this site when it's actually all of you, and myself, that is ruining this country. It's funny to have a man shot and in critical condition just like it's funny to see kids lives ruined by press hungry stars. All of you who think it's funny can go to hell. Look at history, we're becoming the Romans.
YET ANOTHER ATHLETE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PITBULL TREADMILL WEARING DRUG SMUGGLING PROSTITUTE I DONT WANT MY SOON WIFE TO BE FIND OUT DRAMA>>>>>>>>>>YET THEY STILL GET PRESS
That's what happens when "keepin' it real" goes wrong. The guy makes millions and is too retarded to stop hanging around his piece of shit thug friends and want to pretend to be a gangsta between games. Hope he heals and wises up after this incident. The man is ridiculously talented and I would hate to see him wind up like Vick.
stop your whining shoot my leg then for 50 mil……….a year
Kurtis - might as well shoot yourself in the head while you're at it, because obviously you have nothing to offer this earth, judging by your stupidity. Don't be mad that someone like Sean Taylor has accomplished at 24 years old more than you can accomplish in a lifetime. Get an education, asshole.
who did you steal this information from? you never cite any of your sources and I know you didn't just pick these stats up about football yourself.
