My favorite player died four years ago today. It feels like it’s been much longer. I don’t have much to say beyond that. I never knew Sean Taylor, and it was rare that I even heard him speak. That said, I still get sad every year thinking about the loss. Seeing as how this is an open thread at a humor site, I’m not going to bum you out by dredging up old memories. However, if you are in the mood to read about Sean Taylor, I’d recommend checking out Matt Terl’s piece at WaPo.
The good news is that the late games look like they’ll be a bit better than the early ones. You know, except for the one involving the Redskins. Here they are, on our new and improved scale of stars ‘n’ crosses. Why crosses? Because assigning stars to game played by God-fearing mortals is sin, probably.

By all accounts, Sean Taylor shouldn't have survived as long as he did. The bullet that struck him during a botched robbery attempt at his Miami home on the night on Nov. 26, 2007 pierced his femoral artery, causing massive blood loss. He underwent seven hours of surgery and reportedly flatlined twice during the operation. Still, he held on.

Four years later, Redskins safety Sean Taylor remembered
Sean was one of the few that didn't let up, even at the Pro Bowl. Ask Brian Moorman.Last year I wrote a piece on Sean Taylor, his life, his career and interviewed several people for their opinions and where they were when they heard he had lost his life. This year, I would like to put his life into the personal perspective of a die-hard Redskins fan. That fan just happens to...
