JUST A WASTE
I don't want to hear the question, why was Sean Taylor in Miami? He wasn't in the club, he wasn't hanging out in the streets, he was at home.. sleeping. It was late at night and he was with his family. You can't fault anybody for being in their own home.
Also, I am a little bit upset at some of the writers who said, they knew something like this would happen because they knew guys like Taylor. This is tragic, but the one thing that has been popping up with those working the story is, no one knew him. Sean didn't talk to many people and he surely didn't make many media members his friends.
Sean's teammates were the one's who knew him best and that is something that can't be argued. They call him the genuine article. He loved football and he loved his family. Sean loved to practice and play and afterwards, he loved to come home and be around his daughter and his girlfriend. His teammates have told us that and they knew him.
The one thing I have learned when you cover a story like this, is to just wait and see. Everybody, in the first 24 hours, comes out with their own theories why. No one let's the stories play out anymore.
We will all miss Sean Taylor because he was the enforcer. Some teammates called him their little brother and others said, he watched their back. They all said he was the best player on the team. Sean had the potential to be a hall of famer, he was that good. A stupid sitaution cut him down before his prime. We will never get a chance to see what could have been. All we do know is that Sean played his postion of safety, better than anybody in the league. Maybe, if he was allowed to stick around, we would have also gotten a chance to know him....
