Sean Taylor, Free Safety, Redskins
April 1st, 1983 - November 27th, 2007
Halfway through writing a really asshole-ish piece about Sean Taylor getting shot and a fake interview with the gunman, I refreshed ESPN to see if any information was updated, and sure enough it was. Sean Taylor expired today at age 24, leaving behind his daughter. Sean was never going to win any citizenship awards, and his arrest record is your usual you’d expect from someone from the U, but out of respect for the deceased safety, I’ll save the jokes for another time.
Come on, you still have to run with the piece. You’ve already whet our appetite.
Ah man… How classic would it have been in if this years Madden Nation rep from the Redskins was Sean Taylor. You would cut to the scenes of the NFL players meeting the madden nerds who would be sporting their jerseys, then a scene of the Sean Taylor kid sitting at Burger King, eating a whopper and scowling.
