When will the killing stop? My guess....never. Another young life was lost this past Tuesday morning....Sean Taylor, the safety for the Washington Redskins. Although many are mourning over the loss of this amazing athlete and teammate, to me the death seems a little screwy.
Dr. Edge brought to my attention how odd it is where the wound was located and how the intruder went directly to his bedroom. Also, Taylor's girlfriend and mother of their child, and the child itself were there, and they came out unharmed.
The entire football club is deeply saddened and are still trying to cope with the loss. The coach of the Redskins said, " "We're going to miss him, I'm not talking about as a player. I'm talking about as a person." Although, through this sadness detectives are apprehensive about the cause of this horrible crime and WHY it happened. Miami Dade Police spokesman Alvaro Zabaleta said...
Police had no description of a possible suspect and were investigating whether the shooting was connected to a break-in at Taylor's home eight days earlier, in which police said someone pried open a front window, rifled through drawers and left a kitchen knife on a bed.
Not only has this affected the team, but his family as well is taking this hard not only from the loss but the questions and mystery of it all. Taylor and his father were extremely close; they are helping police in finding more information in this tragic loss.
Taylor was having the best season of his career on the field and had stayed out of trouble off the field since the birth of his daughter, Jackie, in May 2006. He was becoming a leader, and his teammates had elected him to the players' committee that meets regularly with Gibbs.
Through all of this I hope that the athletes in the professional world, and the world in general can see that life is precious and that your never promised tomorrow. Live everyday to the fullest and never regret anything.

I haven't a clue about sports, but this looks like a murder mystery to me. Remember when Tonya Harding plotted against Nancy Kerrigan during the 1994 Olympics? This could be something similar. Maybe a jealous teammate?
This was definitely a hard loss for the 'Skins. Taylor had finally cleaned up his act and was "a new man" according to teammates. It is terrible that he was only 24 and had a two-year old daughter to take care of also. And it is a wonder if this happened out of jealousy, or if something from his past caught up with him.
I can't belive this, this is just so sad that something like this had to happen. It is especially looked at more when someone like this, a pro athlete dies so unexpectantly. I just pray for his family and friends and hope that they figure this case out soon.
