Hello everyone long time no see. Been a long time since I created a new post. Been busy a lot for a while. I, however, decided to take time out in order to write this.
As everyone knows, Redskin Safety Sean Taylor died this morning at Jackson Memorial hospital in Miami. I can get into all the details about what happened but it would be useless since everyone knows what happened. I decided that I'll do a tribute of sorts. Even though I have lived in Virginia my whole, except if I was overseas, for some reason I never was a Redskin fan. I don't why but I guess it has to do with the first team I saw play in my life, the Atlanta Falcons. I never hated them, just didn't like them.
I remember the draft day in 2004 when Sean Taylor was picked fifth overall, I wasn't sure what to think of him. I remember one game against the Cowboys that year while the running back, I believe Julius Jones, was running and he came in front of him and he nailed him hard. All Redskin fans were going nuts was I was thinking ok he just hits hard that's it. The next couple of years showed me that I thought he was overrated at the time. Sure he hits hard like he is trying to kill somebody but he could cover. Last year I remember teams throwing the ball in his area while receivers were burning him. It made me think he didn't know how to play free safety. This year however I was impressed. He became a free safety and was covering well. Heck he was at one point the leader of interceptions. I was thinking you know what I was wrong. This guy could be good. I was researching one day before the game they play Dallas I was surprised to know that ever since he's come to the league every time Terrell Owens goes to play the Redskins since Taylor has been there, he has never had 100 yards in a game. I was surprised because everyone knows T.O. is good. After watching the Redskins lose 28-23 with TO having 4 TDs. Even though I never said it to Redskin fans to annoy them (hehe), I was wondering if Sean was playing how different would have been the outcome. I wanted to wait until they play Dallas again to see. The sad part we will never know that outcome. We will also never know how his career would have shaped up to be. All because someone had to kill him. I try to avoid emotions especially when I am in the outside world. But when I heard what happened yesterday and today I was sad. As a sports fan, I cannot see the player of what he could have become. As a human being, a person's life was taken away and it is sad. I especially feel sad for his daughter because I know how it is to lose a parent (Not in the same fashion) and never seeing them again. It is a horrible feeling especially when you are young while you think about it all the time.
I never really let people know much about me but I thought it would be appropriate to bring this up. I lost my mother due to stroke when I was 10. She was feeling ill was in the hospital for a few months. Just like Sean it seemed she would survive and be well but one day she passed away. It turned my life upside down. If it wasn't for certain events, I probably would turned out to be one messed up person. Up to this day, I think of her everyday. When that happens, I feel tears in my eyes. I try to hold on knowing that she wouldn't want me to give up on everything because of her. I hope no one gives up because he wouldn't want. If everyone wants to keep all of the memories of him alive, we have to never give up on life and do our best in everything. This especially goes to his family. That way Sean can truly rest in peace.
Thank you Sean for your career on the field. All NFL fans will miss you dearly. Redskin fans will always consider you one of them. Good luck in the after life.
I'm going to report Sport news for this post about real recent events but in a comical view. WARNING: MAY OFFEND PEOPLE. I may do this every once in a while but today I'll do about yesterday and today events.
This actually happen at Wednesday afternoon. It was reported that former NBA player Bryon Houston was arrested beating off in his car at an intersection in Oklahoma City. When asked why, he said "the girl who called the cops looked so fine. I haven't had sex in a while so I needed a release after seeing that fine ####." Um yeah, there is something called porn you can get and take it home, loser.
It was reported a couple hours ago on msnbc that the Washington Redskins LaRon Landry will miss today's minicamp due to an odd injury that happened on Wednesday. It seems after coach Joe Gibbs allowed the team to leave early from voluntary spring workout, he and many defensive player went to play paint ball. Apparently, he has learn the term "nutcracker" after he was knocked out cold after being shot in the nuts during the game. Gibbs has said he should be fine after a couple of days. The problem with this is that paintballs only leave bruise, why the #### did he go out cold? What is he a little ####?
It's reported that Randy Moss can still run the 40 in 4.3 secs. We asked him why and he said, "I guess running from the cops since childhood has helped man." Man what the hell were you doing?
It's been reported that the NBA finals have hit a record low on TV with 9.3 million watching this year. Wondering why? Hmm, maybe it's because of the beatdown that was given. Let the boys play it out next time ok Stern?
The Spurs will appear in a special edition of Wheaties in 3 to 4 weeks. It seems the cereal will let you have ability to like the Spurs. High possibility people will avoid but hell yeah I'm taking it.
Tony Parker won Finals MVP for performance. Now people can't complain that the French are cowards and sissies especially how TP got the rebound juked every Cav player on the court including Lebron and attacked the basket in Game 4. But we know that ain't his only prize, *wink, wink*
It was reported that the attorneys of "Pacman" Adam Jones told authorities to file or withdraw charges saying there is no evidence of him linking him to the strip club shooting and biting an employee's arm. I don't know about the shooting but the arm is believable. Probably thought the arm was probably Blinky, Pinky, Inky, or Clyde.
Seems Miami Dolphins quarterback or should I say former Daunte Culpepper injured his non-throwing hand in the car accident Wednesday night. Sheesh, I don't know if any team would want him especially after he did with his previous injury.
Looks like a federal judge rejected a plea deal of Troy Ellerman. He basically said #### you for saying screw you to the legal system. Reason: This was the #### who leaked the Grand jury testimony of the government's steroid investigation. I mean c'mon I know you don't like baseball especially Bonds but you didn't need to do this.
Well this is it for today. Watch out for the next issue. Peace out.
I am a 22 year old guy. The odd one of the family who loves sports even though I don't have the physical gifts compared to others. I'm such a sports geek that I do research on many sports histories from records, players, teams you name it. Favorite teams are Detroit Pistons(NBA), Atlanta Falcons (NFL), Pittsburgh Penguins (NHL), San Francisco Giants (MLB) and Italy (Soccer). Just because these are my teams does not mean I hate others. My favorite player of all time in sports is NBA Hall of Famer Jerry Lucas. I love sports statistics and love to predict many games by analyzing them being neutral at all costs.
