Yardbarker: Sean Taylor

The Redskins' defense with Sean Taylor

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 18:12:44 -0500

This is a question I agonize over constantly, and I’m sure many of you do, too: How good would the Redskins’ defense be today with all-world safety Sean Taylor manning the backfield? It’s so maddening just to think about what could have been, and how the Redskins and their fans got such a raw deal...

Slow and steady not the game

The comparisons were inevitable after LaRon Landry succeeded Sean Taylor as the Washington Redskins' free safety two seasons ago. Taylor, the fifth pick in the 2004 draft, was in the midst of a second straight Pro Bowl season when he was shot and killed at his Florida home in November 2007. Landry, drafted sixth overall in 2007 to play strong safety alongside Taylor, took over Taylor's spot. He was a Pro Bowl alternate last year despite missing most of training camp with a pulled ha...

Taylor slaying suspect won't withdraw guilty plea

A suspect in the slaying of Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor is expected to be in a Miami courtroom to ask to have his guilty plea withdrawn. A hearing was scheduled Friday on the request by 21-year-old Venjah Hunte. He pleaded guilty last year and agreed to testify against four co-defendants in exchange for a 29-year sentence. The 24-year-old player died after being shot in an attempted robbery at his home in November 2007.

Athletes under the gun

While I was in the gym yesterday, I was interrupted by an ESPN story on ballers being targets of crime. In my opinion, I believe this is something that the world needs to know, but I also feel that airing a story like that does nothing but give the so-called thugs a new idea. It seems as if everything is a big copycat. For example, the whole Columbine thing. Next thing you know stories like that and false alarms were popping up everywhere. It seems like whenever people get an idea off TV they try and take it and run with it. I can be completely wrong, but this is how I feel. I'm not comparing Columbine with pro players being jacked, I'm just saying I feel that this is something the leagues should bring to the attention of their teams. I personally was close to being a victim a few weeks ago, but fortunately for me, I usually go out with security or a big group of friends, and they took care of the situation for me. This is the real deal. Guys target ballers because we seem like easy targets, but what are we to do? Hide in our house and never come out? I believe that we just have to walk by faith and try as hard as possible to not put ourselves in vulnerable situations. For example, always travel in packs or with security. Try and live in a gated community. If it's possible, definitely have a security alarm on your house, and finally, pray everyday. This will definitely not stop a jacker from getting you, but it's a step in the right direction to protect yourself. It just sucks that the world comes to this. People are robbing people that they watch on TV with their mom, dad, kids and friends (and brag about what they did). If you were to go to the swap meet in LA, you can see several celebrities' chains, rings, watches, etc. This just baffles me that people are that ignorant. I come from nothing and did my share of dirt in my life to eat. But I never in my life harmed another hard-working honest man with a family because you not only fuck up your life and his life, you fuck up your family, his family and all the people around you. I just hope that people put down the guns and try and do better for themselves than to be out robbing and killing for a couple hundred bucks. If you feel that you need to eat and you wanna kill for your meals, then go to the Army and do you, your family, my family, and your country, some justice. Spizzel Shaunphillips.net

Idiot Seattle Columnist Provides Instant Redskins Motivation

Fri, 04 Jan 2008 22:15:05 -0500

Hmm... an article by a Seattle-area columnist dishonoring Sean Taylor and calling the 'Skins out for doing too much to honor him. This might be in every Redskins' locker tomorrow.

There Is No 'Black KKK', Blood Diamonds are Forever

This is in response to the Professional that moved too soon writing an article about a man that is gone too soon, all because of the goods he possessed, and not for the goodness in his heart. Note: This is not a fluff piece.

what must Al Qaeda be thinking when they come across this scene?

One word: unacceptable

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 22:02:02 -0500

There are varying opinions on this whole Sean Taylor thing, but I think all of can agree that no matter how you look at it, it's sad. It's not something you make tasteless jokes about. With Leather and others have all put joking aside when it comes to a young father's death. But these guys haven't. I'm not saying to do it, but if anyone knows how to make this site crash and never come back again or something, I wouldn't complain if you did.

What Sean Taylor Means to Black America

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 15:09:08 -0500

But the death of Sean Taylor is a story that plays out in black communities all too often, without cameras, analysis, or widespread mourning. A black male with all the potential in the world to succeed, cut short because of past transgressions.
