I was born and raised in San Francisco, the most beautiful city in the world, and home to the San Francisco Giants and San Francisco 49ers.

This week has been one of saddest, and perhaps most sordid ever for sports fans in the Washington region due to the gruesome murder of Sean Taylor; however, it looks like there has been a huge break in the case. From the Washington Times: Four young men, including three teenagers, were arrested late yesterday in the fatal shooting this week of Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor, police said.Miami-Dade Police Department Director Robert Parker confirmed last night that the four had been taken into custody, adding that homicide detectives who tracked the men to their homes in Fort Myers, Fla. — about 160 miles from Taylor's home in Palmetto, Fla. — obtained at least one confession. He did not elaborate.Mr. Parker said information obtained by the detectives, assisted by agents from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, showed that the men broke into the Pro Bowl player's home but were not aware that he, his fiancee and their 18-month-old daughter were in the house."They wer
The Miami-Dade Police Department arrested four people Friday in connection with the shooting death of Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor.
Police spokeswoman Linda O’Brien identified the men as: Venjah K. Hunte, 20; Eric Rivera Jr., 17; Jason Scott Mitchell, 17; and Charles Kendrick Lee Wardlow, 18. O’Brien said the charges for each had not yet [...]
Eric Rosenstrom: Eric Rosenstrom likes to write murder mysteries, but police say the fatal shooting of a hotel owner on August 16, 2001 is no whodunit -- they believe Rosenstrom is the perp. But with his vast knowledge of law enforcement, he could be tough to catch.
Unknown Sean Taylor Killer: Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor, 24, was shot in the upper leg during a home invasion early
I'm Hip Hop has an upcoming interview with Rick Ross in which he addresses the murder of Sean Taylor, an all-pro Washington Redskins free safety. He was only 24. Shout out to 301 / P.G. County and all my fam and friends over there."Man that’s just such an unfortunate event, and it goes to show you that tomorrow is never promised. You have to keep that pistol under that bed man. You have to take that charge. That’s what I’m kind of mad myself about, about the whole situation. You know he had to take a little heat for the past situation and he felt like he couldn’t have that in his possession. I mean someone come into my house? Sh*t I would’ve been fired 100 .22 rounds through the walls and everything at you’re a**. You know what I mean? But you know it’s unfortunate, this dude laying here, his young child is there, his female is there and he’s trying to defend them you know? He lost his life behind that. It’s senseless violence, I’m pretty sure they are going to fin
Still in disbelief of his childhood friend’s shooting death, Arizona Cardinals cornerback Antrel Rolle vowed Wednesday to make sure Sean Taylor is remembered.He added he did not believe the killing was part of a burglary gone sour, and that Taylor had many enemies on the streets of Miami.”This was not the first incident,” Rolle said.

There's a reason I call them the Black KKK. The pain, the fear and the destruction are all the same. Someone who loved Sean Taylor is crying right now. The life they knew has been destroyed, an 18-month-old baby lost her father, and, if you're a black man living in America, you've been reminded once again that your life is in constant jeopardy...
The world of the National Football League has reacted with grief and shock at the news that Redskins player Sean Taylor died yesterday after he was shot during an apparent burglary at his home in Miami. Daniel Snyder, the Washington Redskins owner, said that was the worst imaginable tragedy. The Washington Redskins fans staged a candlelight vigil in front of the team’s training complex on Monday evening. A bullet was fired into the player’s groin, severing the femoral artery. Taylor died of apparent blood loss.
In a day when athletes typically made headlines for all the wrong reasons it was refreshing to see one of the "bad boys" begin to redeem themselves.Sean Taylor was one of those men.Sparked by the birth of his daughter Taylor began to change from the rebellious young man he was when he entered the league to a mature man and began to emerge as one of the best safeties in the NFL.In Taylor's rookie season of 2004 and sophomore campaign of 2005 he was accused of spitting on players on two separate occasions. Taylor skipped a a mandatory rookie symposium and held out of training camp the following season.The bad attitude followed Taylor off the field; during the same two year span he was arrested for a DUI and then armed assault.In the year since his daughter was born Taylor's life began to change according to his teammates. The results were clearly displayed on the field. No more broken tackles, no more spitting, and no more cheap shots. Taylor was starting to display the ability that ma
As some of you may know, I live in the Washington-Baltimore area, am a Redskins' fan, and I whipped up a post about on the death of Sean Taylor this morning. I have also have been covering the tragic news of Mr. Taylor online and in my car on sports talk radio.Well, in the hours since his death, I have seen the best and worst of the media in the coverage of this event. It seems within the last 12 or so hours I have heard every opinion, thought, speech said and read just about every word.I'm not shocked by much in life anymore, and I'd like to think I'd not get too emotional about someone I didn't know.In this instance, I have.Seriously, how does one judge a person's life?Do we just honor and pontificate the good guys, or do we just attack, nibble and go through everything with a fine tooth comb of people who may be so-called less than honorable.Today, I never thought I'd be disgusted with an columnist who I respect no matter he what says, but I am.

Today was going to be a "Happy Youtube Tuesday", however given the circumstances I feel it only right that I pay tribute to Sean Taylor.Pro Bowl safety Sean Taylor died Tuesday after he was shot in his home by an apparent intruder, leaving everybody, including myself in shock. The 24-year-old player died at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he had been airlifted after the shooting early Monday. Taylor, the fifth overall pick in the 2004 NFL draft following an All-American season at the University of Miami, was shot early Monday in the upper leg, damaging the key femoral artery and causing significant blood loss.I would first like to send out my deepest condolences to the Taylor family, the Washington Redskins, and the Miami Hurricanes. Most people know Sean as the flamboyant, hard-hitting, fine-gathering player he was in his first 3 or 4 years in the league. What many people don't realize is that he is also a father of a 1 year old baby girl named Jackie, and a maturing man and emergin
Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor died early Tuesday, a day after the Pro Bowl player was shot at home allegedly by an intruder.
Taylor died at Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he had been airlifted after the shooting on Monday.
Taylor, the fifth overall pick in the 2004 NFL draft following an All-American season at the University of Miami, was shot in the upper leg, damaging the key femoral artery and causing significant blood loss.
“According to a preliminary investigation, it appears that the victim was shot inside the home by an intruder,” Miami-Dade County police said in a statement. “We do not have a subject description at this time.”
Taylor’s girlfriend told Police the couple was awakened by loud noises, and Taylor grabbed a machete he keeps in the bedroom for protection.
Someone then broke through the bedroom door and fired two shots, one missing and one hitting Taylor, Sharpstein said. Taylor’s 1-year-old daughter, Jackie, was also in
Yesterday we were all hit by the news of NFL safety Sean Taylor being shot at his home. After many hours of complicated emergency surgery and all of us being in shock by the situation, Tuesday morning comes with the confirmation that Sean Taylor just passed away.
The situation turned into a real tragedy when one of the bullets shot by the intruder reached Taylor’s femoral artery, causing him to lose too much blood. Surgery could not repair the entire damage, but there were some hope of him giving good signs of surviving. However, it was confirmed that Sean Taylor died around 5 in the morning at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Of course this was a major shock at the NFL. All players (especially the Washington Redskins team) are filled with grief. Even people like RB Clinton Portis feel sorry because Sean Taylor was at home on Monday because of a knee injury that kept him out of the field. If he hadn’t been injured, he would’ve probably been playing with the Redskins. But we ha

I really hoped last night that I wasn't going to have to post something like this today - but one day after an apparently botched home invasion Sean Taylor has died at the age of 24. Since I don't know much about Taylor instead of writing anything here I'll use this post as a jumping point where I'll link to every story that I see about this horrible situation if you want to keep track of it. I am only one person but I want to send my prayers to the Taylor family, the Redskins and the University of Miami families as well - Rest In Peace Sean Taylor.

Today, I woke up and read the unfortunate news that Star NFL safety, Sean Taylor, passed away in a Miami area hopsital before dawn after being shot during a home invasion in his native Florida.As a Redskins' fan, I was shocked and utterly devastated that not only a star of the team died, but more importantly a 24-year old man who had a family, fiancee and a whole life ahead of him had it snuffed in an instant.From the reports, it looked like he was trying to defend his family from intruders, but in the end, became a victim. Whether it was a vendetta, robbery, or there's something else to the story, I'm not sure of; however, we know that a young man lost his life.It's too bad that most of the stories will have some sort of mention of his past incidents and transgressions; alas, it seems that he had made a concerted effort to turn his life around from what has been reported.An incident like this in America happens each day when someone who is murdered for some reason, especially a bl

Sad stuff right here. Thoughts go out to his family and friends. Sometimes the world just sucks. From The Washington Post:
“He did not make it through the night,” said Taylor’s attorney, Richard Sharpstein, who called the incident “a ridiculous, unnecessary tragedy.”
Taylor died “a couple of hours ago” surrounded by some family members, family friend Donald Walker said shortly after 6 a.m. “Things turned for the worse,” Walker said by phone from Taylor’s mother’s house. There “seemed like a lot of hope after he responded to the doctor’s command. But he lost of a lot of blood.”

I just don't have any words. Sean Taylor has died this morning from the gunshot wound he got to the leg yesterday.Being 24 years old myself, it hits pretty hard to think how this young man lost his life.

Richard Sharpstein, who has represented Sean Taylor in legal matters in the past and is a friend of the family, said moments ago that the player’s life is hanging in the balance in the hospital. Sharpstein, speaking from the hospital, said Taylor is “nonresponsive and unconscious” and the doctors are “worried about a possible brain injury or death.” Sharpstein, who has been with Taylor’s family at the hospital much of the day, said that there are major worries that Taylor may have lost oxygen to the brain, and that no other procedures are planned for right now. “They’re waiting to see if he comes to,” Sharpstein said. He was shot in the groin/thigh area near the femoral artery and lost copious amounts of blood. The intruders then retreated and Sean was airlifted to the trauma center and endured several hours of surgery, Sharpstein said. Reported by Jason La Confora, Washington Post

Even if you are not a Washington Redskins fan, these news are probably going to shock you: Redskins Safety Sean Taylor has been found at home (in Miami) shot by some intruder and now his future lies between life and death.
Authorities say the tragic situation seems to be caused by a robbery attempt. Taylor was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he fights for his life. We are all hoping he gets better, because it would be a great loss to the NFL.
Don’t know who Sean Taylor is?
For those who have been living under a rock lately and have no idea of who Taylor is, there is a couple of highlights of his NFL career and, of course, his controversy (he wouldn’t belong to the NFL if he didn’t have something to do with cops at least once):
- Sean Taylor was born in 1983 in Miami, FL (the same city of his College team). He was picked 5th by the Washington Redskins, where he plays since 2004. He has been a really successful player most Seasons.
- He has usually been referred t

There's that rule that players shouldn't play any real defense during the Pro-Bowl, but Sean Taylor would like for you to take that rule and shove it.The AFC tried to get cheeky and called a fake punt for Buffalo punter Brian Moorman and Taylor decided to play Australian style rugby with his ribcage. That's probably the last time that Moorman will ever run in his life. Ever.Moorman didn't go back to congratulate Taylor after the hit, he was just politely asking for his testicles back.
