Latest news out of Miami says there's been two confessions in the Sean Taylor murder, and according to Miami police "they were certainly not looking to go there and kill anyone."
Pretty awful result....it would have been a lot easier to swallow if it was someone he screwed with or some payback for something dumb he did. By all the accounts the guy had turned his life around. Sure, his buddies are going to say that and stick up for him, but I thought it was pretty revealing over the past week how many good things "random" people had to say about him. He never talked to the press, so we never really knew anything about him. Ross Tucker, a practice squad lineman wrote short piece about him on Fox Sports. Pete Kendall, who just came to DC in August, talked about how Taylor would talk to his kids after practice, and how hard his kids were taking it. John Hall and Cory Raymer, guys who haven't even been on the team for a year or so coming back and bringing their kids to talk the team and coaches.
Guys like that who I figured he didnt associate with, or the same reporters who he refused to talk to when he was here, were barely able to keep it together.
I don't think you'd see any of this type of response if (when) it was Pacman Jones. Maybe I'm wrong. But I dont think you'd see Jason Witten saying what a good person he was. He had some legal troubles when he first came into the league, but I think its pretty safe to say he didnt have anything like this coming.
Say what you want about the U, but its been a pretty rough stretch for them....Pata, Everett, Taylor.
