Redskins mourn death of Taylor.

Sean Taylor, Washington Redskins All-Pro Safety died of blood loss after he was shot in the thigh during an invasion of his home in Miami, FL. I don't really have anything to say right now.

It's been a day-and-a-half. We're all stunned.

i was sorry to hear it. We talked about him in class today. I had mentioned in the lectures for tomorrow's test about how dangerous injuries like his could be and how hollywood always made it look like getting shot in the leg is nothing and I'm not sure they believed me until now

Yeah. And it's strange. When they said 'femoral artery' yesterday, I assumed he was a goner. But then, when it had gotten to late at night, and he was still alive, I thought he'd eventually recover because I just assumed these days that you can survive anything if you make it past the first twelve hours or so...

Just goes to show you that nobody's invincible.

you and i made the same assumptions. I'll be interested in seeing what comes of this. (mostly because I'm apparently very morbidly curious)
