I guess somebody got into his house for a robbery or something and tried to take the guy out. Shot him in his leg and it severed a femural artery. He lost a lot of blood and is in critical condition after surgery.
He's a helluva football player and a pretty good guy from what I understand. I hope he pulls through. Getting shot in your own house is no way to go out.

I just read that he passed away at 5:30 est this morning. I guess he had lost too much blood for his body to keep fighting.

He wasn't without the normal legal troubles of a athlete these days:
After Taylor was drafted, problems soon began. Taylor fired his agent, then skipped part of the NFL's mandatory rookie symposium, drawing a $25,000 fine. Driving home late from a party during the season, he was pulled over and charged with drunken driving. The case was dismissed in court, but by then it had become a months-long distraction for the Redskins.
Taylor also was fined at least seven times for late hits, uniform violations and other infractions over his first three seasons, including a $17,000 penalty for spitting in the face of Tampa Bay running back Michael Pittman during a 2006 playoff game.
Meanwhile, Taylor endured a yearlong legal battle after he was accused in 2005 of brandishing a gun at a man during a fight over allegedly stolen all-terrain vehicles near Taylor's home. He eventually pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to 18 months' probation.
What a waste...

Not intending to be racist, I read that the leading cause of young Black men is other young black men. What a shame.

I wouldn't doubt with all the gang violence and drug dealing in inner cities. |

Choke up moment... first play from scrimmage today the Redskins defense took the field with only 10 players including just 1 safety.

It wasn't a mistake, Vin. They did it on purpose to honor Taylor, kinda like planes flying in the "missing man formation".

Hey...it's a business that is driven by millions of dollars and wins. If that game comes down to 1 play that makes a difference between a win or a loss and a team making the playoffs or not, I'm going deep. Does the old saying "Your loss is my gain" come to mind?
