There is just something so strange about the whole thing. They are reporting that someone broke into his home 8 days before this attack- Rummged through things and put a knife on his be.. Then 8 days later someone breaks in and goes right to his room and shoots him. It's just so strange. I pray that they find out who did this.. It's just so sad.. I feel for his wife and daughter.

Fuck that "so young" shit a life is a life 24 or 94, I love how dumb fuckin tweens are always ok when somebody old dies but shocked when a young one dies grow up fucktards!

46

What is with the MORONS playing the "first" game. Nothing better to do in life than trying to be the first to post on a message board. Hey Retards - have some respect for this posting at least, someone died, and quit your juvenile games. JOKE - Do you get a special prize from Perez when you post first???

God Bless the family.

Ohhh please…maybe before he got involved in drugs he should have thought of the consequences….you know he knew his shooter, this was drug related not some random shooting….you can't take the ghetto out of the boy….

Sean Taylor was a tremendous part of the Redskin family - he was the heart of the team and the whole Washington Redskins family is affected by this tragedy. Being a huge Redskin's fan from Washington D.C., I will never forget Sean Taylor and all the burgandy and gold hearts he has touched. We love you, will never forget you, you are in God's hands now.

Thoughts and prayers go out to the family, fans are hurt, but we can't even imagine the pain the family must be going through.

Re: lilo – You dont know anything at all about the situation. You do realize that NFL players are tested for drugs. If this was because of drugs he would have tested positive because god knows he didnt need to sell them for money seeing as how he had an 18 million dollar contract with the Skins. Have some respect and stop being so ignorant, a little girl lost her father today.
Agnacious says – reply to this

59

Well it is always sad when someone young dies.
.
But at least all he did was play a game for a living.
.
It's not like he was one of the great minds of the 21st century.
.
So sad, but no big loss. I sure someone else who wants to play for a living will fill his spot.
.
Can't say that about the loss of a doctor on the verge of curing cancer.

Re: lilo – unless you know him personally, as I did, don't talk shit. He was a VERY nice man. He did his dirt in his past but was a changed man ever since his daughter was born. Don't tarnish his name because you are jealous for some stupid reason or another.

Re: Agnacious – - you are ignorant. I guess we could say the same for you if you died today.

Really sad and tragic! Now that he is dead, you should apologize for the irrevelvant crap you first published about his past problems!!! #24 is right - Save your bullshit!!!!! It's funny how you 're-reported' the two rockers who died and did do an expose on their shortcomings!!! Again, save your bullshit!

#60 Please keep your insensitive comments to yourself. Ask yourself if other people besides your family will value your life based upon your accomplishments in this world.

This is a man who was a father, a son to a family that is hurting right now. I pray that God gives them comfort and peace. Such a senseless treagedy.

hmmmm micheal vick had all the money in the world and was still involved in dogfighting and drugs….give this a few weeks , the truth will come out about what was really happening at that house and it won't be pretty….NFL players are only tested when someone wants them to be tested….and you can still be dealing without using…check his criminal record if you think this ghetto boy is such an innocent angel…

What a waste. I don't know who this guy is, but it is a shame. He's young and successful and some assholes had to break into his home and shoot him. If they were there to rob him…fine, take whatever you want, but to shoot the guy is ridiculous. I hope they find the shooter soon and hang him by the ballsack.
alison says – reply to this

71

Awful, awful, awful. Rest in peace. This is so tragic. Someone who had worked so hard to turn his life into something good. Tried so hard to get away from the losers he once associated with. My prayers are with his family. I think I'll go by the house and leave flowers or something.

All these stupid comments and "firsts" need to stop.

This is nothing but a tragedy. So young, so talented, and so much joy brought to others. God bless Sean Taylor and his family.

vanessa says – reply to this

74

boy perez….do you feel guilty now about the bullshit you said earlier about his past crimes?? Who gives a fuck, he was young and immature, we all make mistakes…he really turned his life around after having a baby, and now she doesn't have a father. I hope they catch that son of a bitch soon.

RIP Sean Taylor, we will miss you. My thoughts go out to his family and all the Redskins family.
RIPST says – reply to this

Re: lilo – Michael Vick is not comparable to Sean Taylor - people who knew Michael Vick didn't even like him, people who knew Sean Taylor had nothing but great things to say about him - he was in his fourth year with the Washington Redskins and he had teammates voting for him to be on the players board b/c he was that much of a leader. You obviously don't know much about your football, maybe you should read up before you make yourself look stupid on a wall post.

I don't like Michael Vick and I would never defend him b/c he is a thug, Sean Taylor was not a thug… those who watch football know that.

FUCK YOU HATERS

Ignorance is Bliss says – reply to this

79

I agree with Lilo. No one is saying he DESERVED to die. No one is saying he was a drug USER. No one is even saying that he is a drug DEALER. But I bet this was, indeed, drug related. At least that's the word around here in Miami. If people help you when you have nothing, you can't just forget your debt, money, promise, whatever, once you make it big. The "bad guys" don't, and many times they will come to collect. And yeah, I know exactly what I'm talking about.

Re: lilo – Don't say things you can't back up with fact. Sean Taylor wasn't on drugs. He was an elite level professional athlete. they get random tested all the time. He was shot in his own home in the middle of the night and is dead at only 24 years of age.
As a Miami resident and proud Canes fan I'd like to say Rest In Peace Meast. The 305 will miss you.

Re: lilo –

just because someone is a celebrity doesn't mean that you, all unemployed and sitting on your couch, can make assumptions about their life and death. this isn't tabloid news, someone well respected and liked died and now his family is without him. just because people had a few adolescent messups in their past doesn't mean that they can't grow up and change. someone a few decades ago killed a man in a car accident while drunk driving and another sold cocaine, yet they somehow manage to be the president and first lady. all this you can look up in the records, just like you supposedly did for sean. learn the ultimate motto: if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

sean, you will be missed, not only by those that personally knew you but also by your millions of fans. R.I.P.

Re: Ignorance is Bliss –

a black man dies and some of you instantly yell out drugs. wow, you may not think you're racist, but if you find it so easy to come to such a conclusion, i think you may have to re-evaluate what you are. the past is the past, and if he did things in the past, doesn't mean he can't overcome those things. "word around miami" and "years of knowing him personally" aren't the same thing, asshole!
Tracy says – reply to this

92

And to all the people that compare him to Michael Vick get your facts straight. He Sean Taylor may have had a few problems but for those that live in the DC area know that he turned his life completely around with the birth of his baby girl. He loved life itself and nobody deserves to die regardless in a senseless tragedy.

Re: lilo – Sean Taylor was not a ghetto boy, you twerp. His dad was the chief of police and he went to prep schools his entire life. He actually lived in a REALLY NICE neighborhood down here even before he got drafted…which is probably a lot nicer than the trailer park you hail from. People need to learn to be more sensitive. Sean T was NOT into drugs. He just happened to injured, perhaps the burgular thought he would be traveling with the team, but since he was injured–he was at home! LILO YOU ARE SUCH A FREAKING MORON!

Sean Taylor will be missed-he was a great football player and a very decent person. I had the opportunity to meet him and take pics with him a Canesfest a few years back-very cool guy. Our thoughts and prayer go out to your family and may justice be served upon your killer. R.I.P. Meast!
