Sean Taylor news tragic
News of Sean Taylor's death hit this morning and I must say, it's very tragic.
Having covered him for two years in Washington (I covered the Redskins before coming here), I was especially shocked. To me, Taylor was a very sensitive, yet misunderstood guy. I remember a few of our interactions and for the most part, he was accomodating, contrary to what some media reports have said.
What do you guys think about his death? Homicide is the leading cause of death for black men 15 to 24 and Taylor was 24. My friend and colleague, Jemele Hill of ESPN.com wrote a pretty spot-on column about Taylor's death: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=hill/071127
I must say that other than former Dallas safety Darren Woodson, Taylor was the most talented safety I've ever covered. Physically, the guy was a beast. Tell me what you guys think.
