Waaa waaa waaaa!
Shouldn't Jason Taylor be more worried about the Dolphins next game against the Colts instead of another defensive players accomplishments?
Oh wait, the Dolphins are in LAST PLACE and are not going to the playoffs! All Taylor has to look forward to is the defensive player of the year award while Shawne Merriman is getting ready for a Super Bowl run.
I like what Merriman wrote in his journal on his website (which by the way is waaaay cooler then Jason Taylor's website):
Keeping My Focus On Field, Not Feud
Obviously, I'm having a little war of words with Jason Taylor of the Dolphins, and all I want to say here is basically what has already been said in the newspapers. My play on the field speaks for itself. If I were in Jason's position and I saw that somebody tested positive -- whether the test was right or not -- and was playing well, I would probably not say anything at all.Whether I felt that person was right or not, I probably wouldn't involve myself in that situation.
Here is my thing: I don't think people have enough information on the subject, on what happened to me. They don't know what I tested positive for, how many tests I had -- they obviously have bad information. My situation is something that has to remain private under the rules, so I just have to live with what is being said and focus on my play.
As for Jason, hey, I've sent him a "Lights Out" hat and t-shirt, and a bag of popcorn so that he can enjoy the show. No hard feelings.
You don't hear Merriman talking about Taylor's divorce in the offseason (BTW, Taylor was married to Zach Thomas' sister).
What Taylor did was dirty politics. Taylor knows Merriman has had a better season then him. Merriman has more sacks (most in the NFL) then Taylor and did it in three less games.
Merriman is a rising star on a rising team while Taylor is getting old and his team... well.. sucks!
I mean what does Taylor have to look forward next year? The return of Ricky Williams?
I don't know. Does the NFL really want to give the Defensive MVP to a guy that was the first MALE spokesperson for Neutrogena joining the likes of Angie Harmon, Mandy Moore, and Mischa Barton?
I mean come on, I bet Jason Seahorn turned that gig down.
