Some of you may not be football fans.. or watch the news. The 21 on my page is my own little way of paying tribute to Sean Taylor, Safety for the Washington Redskin, slain in his home Monday night.
Sean has been one of, if not my favorite players on the Skins. He's gotten a bad reputation for being your trypical NFL thug.. but he was anything but that. His talent was off the charts and he had yet to reach his peak. I live and breath Redskins football, which is not always a good thing given the way they seem to find a way to lose with so much talent. Many times my only salvation during a game they were clearly destined to lose would was the opportunity to see Sean absolutely POP a wide reciever or running back in the secondary... sometimes it was as if his hits were an extension of my anger at the score.. in that way I felt a connection. I dont think the Skins will EVER have a player like him again in my lifetime and that saddens me beyond words..
What truly matters though is the Fiance and 18 Mo. old daughter he was taken from. My thoughts have been with them.
Sean will be buried sometime early next week at which time his number will come down off my main pic. Till then it will stay there as my own personal tribute to him.
