Man, that's rough. I hope he makes it. Terrible, awful news. Sounds like he was more of a target ala Antoine Walker, Eddy Curry, Dunta Robinson than a case of him getting into trouble.

SEAN TAYLOR "FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE"

Redskins safety Sean Taylor has been shot in Florida, a source with knowledge of the situation tells us. He is in critical condition at a Miami-area hospital and, per the source, is "fighting for his life".

Taylor spent Sunday night in his Florida home with his girlfriend and infant daughter. A robbery occurred, and Taylor was shot in the leg by one of the invaders.

The bullet severed his femoral artery. He currently is in surgery.

Taylor, the fifth overall pick in the 2005 draft, was in Florida to get a second opinion on an injured knee.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Taylor, his family, and the Redskins organization, and we hope that Taylor will make a full recovery.

Dallas Cowboys, Keith Davis is still one up on him

[TheTruth]

Wow, that really sucks. Hope he pulls through.

[Thunder Dan]

how is it that 99% of America never gets shot and 70% (I'm guessing) don't get arrested, but he seems to have one or the other occur each year while you would think he would be busy playing football and partaking in the other activities that go along with playing in the NFL. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that Tom Brady will never be shot while he is at home, and he won't have guys try to beat him up for prior fights.

It's sad that it happened, but I'm not suprised. Hope he recovers and changes the people he hangs around and the situations he gets himself into

It's sad that it happened, but I'm not suprised. Just a bonehead getting into bonehead situations.

Or like Antoine Walker, Eddy Curry and Dunta Robinson, he probably should've invested in better home security.

WHAT THE HECK IS THAT IN YOUR AVATAR?

Washington Post is reporting "lower extremities", which agrees with severed femoral artery.

I SECOND THAT

I THOUGHT "SHOT IN THE LEG" WOULDN'T BE THAT BAD BUT IT STUCK AN ARTERY

[Thunder Dan]

I would just start hanging out with a different crowd if possible

[Obstructed_View]

Maybe you shouldn't be a rich athlete and live in Miami or Chicago.

[MoSpur]

Wow. I read that on ESPN and was shocked. Poor guy. I pray he makes it.

[703 Spurz]

Will he return this season?

Sean Taylor 'Clinging To Life'

[Kriz-Maxima]

I would just start hanging out with a different crowd if possible

I dont know the guy's activities but he was shot while at home in an robbery attemp. How from that can you make an assumption that would make you write such comment.


Until further info its released i think it would be nice to avoid making assumptions.

Source: Taylor in coma after surgery

Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor has fallen into a coma following surgery for a life-threatening gunshot wound suffered early Monday morning at his South Miami home, FOXSports.com has learned.

Redskins officials are en route to South Florida to visit Taylor.
One source said there is a concern Taylor suffered brain damage from the loss of blood and may not survive.

"It doesn't look good," the source said. "But he's young, strong and extra healthy. That's what he's got going for him."

Sad situation. I'll have to admit I entered with a "Thunder Dan" type of at ude this morning. However, the facts don't dictate anything could have been done on Taylor's part to avoid this, other than be poor.

Best wishes go out to he and his family. Hope he can make it through.

yeah I somewhat come off my stance because I was just assuming (can't do that). I mean I can see how when your raised with nothing then given millions how your life can be rough because of the people you know from back when you had nothing. I mean money doesn't change everything, and in certain cases (Vick and now this) money can create a giant problem when rotten people around you know that you have it. SI has an article in about this in this weeks edition.
