Why would they get one?

Carrying a machete is pretty gangster though.

I wish he was alive so I could axe him why he had a machete and not an ask.

George Carlin strikes again

F-D, you would probably know this...will the skins get a compensatory pick?

Nope. I doubt they'll even get a salary cap exemption for him (though the exemption is more likely).

The NFL has decided against awarding compensatory picks for murdered players because the homicide rate in Philadelphia is already too high.

NEAG- that was effin funny, pay no mind to Rerun.

If Taylor survived, do you think Goddell would fine him, suspend him, or both?

he's on a roll today, folks...

NTF x 2 for EAG.

The guy wielded a machete while on probation...tough call.

OK, now I know this is going to sound odd but there is one angle that hasn;t been discussed at least not that I know of, so here goes.

What if Mr. Taylor was cheating on girlfriend with another woman and the baby momma found out and used this as an excuse to "get back at the cheatin man". OK sounds way out there, BUT the fact that they are now sayingthe lines were EITHER cut or malfuntioned made me curious... On top of that IF he did cheat and she confronted him and then said I'm leaving and taking your little girl too then ran to the bedroom and locked the door... He starts freakin out at the thought of losing his baby and getting takin to the cleaners he kicks in the door to his own bedroom. Then she grabs the gun (the one he bought illegally to protect his family but since he's got a bad history he went the illegal way to get the gun) She threatens to shoot him he calls her bluff, she fires at the wall, he still comes now pissed so to get him back for cheatin on her she shoots him in the man jewels as revenge(come on what guy would shoot another guy in the package?!?) then as he lays there bleeding she takes off gets rid of the gun then goes back to the house and calls 911 on her call telling them an intruder shot her man and they messed with the phone lines...

I know it's a little far fetched but also seems just as likely as an intruder to me...

tat...you need to write for CSI!

tatoo + Horatio Caine.

I was wondering how she saw his eyes roll back in his head if she was hiding under the sheets?

I know it's a little far fetched

There's only one problem, Tat.

She murdered him BEFORE they were married and she was entitled to half his shit. Women don't make mistakes like that.

His child may get it in a trust fund.

EDC, I actually am writing now, and for what it's worth I actually have an idea that FOX/FX is considering. It's actually myself and two friends... Like Mark Twain said write of what you know, and that's prett much what it is, not giving details just in case someone has a closer in than I do but when/if they buy it I'll still be here and you can all say I knew him when he was the biggest homer on the level... actually that(a homer) may not be a good thing to be known as in the hollywood industry...

FB, it's all about justice, and like SJOE23
stated everything he's got will go to his daughter, and she is the mother so she will have control of it for at least 17 years...

In that case, I fear for the child's life and they should take the child away from this cold-blooded vigilante.

I don't fear for the child at all, but I do feel bad that she'll have to grow up without her father, I wouldn't be the person I am today without both my parents, not saying you won't grow up to be a good person but I've learned so much from them and I feel bad for the little girl... the only good thing that I can see is that Taylors father is going to be there and she will be raised well, he came across as if he was sad at losing his son (obviously) but he didn't seem to be filled with hate or rage at the person that killed him... I don't think I would be able to keep my faith the way he seems to have. I hope I'm wrong because it would be even worse on the baby if her mother killed her father that would screw anyone up...

Tat- if you get a pilot, well, I guess i'll be among other things- extremely happy for you.

Tat...didn't you know there's a writer's strike? please refrain from anymore writing, I wouldn't want you to have to cross a picket line.

tat, can i play you in the show?

Tat, I've done summer stock. I'm ret to go

I know seth shocked, but believe it or not one of the things I've always been an excellant writer(horrible speller and grammer but that's what editors are for)

and funk, unfortunately there will be no call for the overweight drunk sitting at the end of the bar(in other words I'm not in it but a few of my wilder night are)

This is just absolutely hilarious. The first little bit is from the Miami AP:

MIAMI (AP) - Sean Taylor's father urged the Washington Redskins to make a playoff push, while Miami police asked for the public's help to solve the safety's death in what they suspect was a random burglary.

Miami-Dade police director Robert Parker said Wednesday there were no indications the slain 24-year-old was targeted or knew his assailant.

"There's nothing that indicates thus far that there's some kind of involvement on the victim's part," said Parker, adding it was "more like a random event."

Police have no suspects in the fatal shooting.

"We have no reason to think this was anything other than a burglary or a robbery involving an intruder," Parker said.


Okay...now we've got Antrelle Rolle, Taylor's former teamate and friend at the U:

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - Still in disbelief of his childhood friend's shooting death, Arizona Cardinals cornerback Antrel Rolle vowed Wednesday to make sure Sean Taylor is remembered.

He added he did not believe the killing was part of a burglary gone sour, and that Taylor had many enemies on the streets of Miami.

"This was not the first incident," Rolle said. "They've been targeting him for three years now."

Rolle said many former "friends" had it in for Taylor, who was trying to build a more stable life.

"He really didn't say too much," Rolle said, "but I know he lived his life pretty much scared every day of his life when he was down in Miami because those people were targeting him. At least, he's got peace now."

Withdrawing from a bad crowd isn't easy, though, Rolle said.

"They say it was a burglary. It absolutely was not a burglary," he said. "Down South, where we're from, there were many people targeting Sean, a lot of jealousy, a lot of angry people.

"Sean, he had a large group of friends, and he no longer hung out with those friends, so you never know where this came from."

So, if the cut phone lines, 2 robberies in 8 days, death threat, car shooting, and the fact that neither of the two successful break-in robberies actually yielded any stolen goods didn't tip you off, Rolle is telling you flat out.

Crack squad of sleuths they have down there in Miami...

And of course, in a move no one saw coming, resident Leveler Jason Whitlock has prepared this feast for the eyes:

There's a reason I call them the Black KKK. The pain, the fear and the destruction are all the same.

Someone who loved Sean Taylor is crying right now. The life they knew has been destroyed, an 18-month-old baby lost her father, and, if you're a black man living in America, you've been reminded once again that your life is in constant jeopardy of violent death.

The Black KKK claimed another victim, a high-profile professional football player with a checkered past this time.

No, we don't know for certain the circumstances surrounding Taylor's death. I could very well be proven wrong for engaging in this sort of aggressive speculation. But it's no different than if you saw a fat man fall to the ground clutching his chest. You'd assume a heart attack, and you'd know, no matter the cause, the man needed to lose weight.

Well, when shots are fired and a black man hits the pavement, there's every statistical reason to believe another black man pulled the trigger. That's not some negative, unfair stereotype. It's a reality we've been living with, tolerating and rationalizing for far too long.

When the traditional, white KKK lynched, terrorized and intimidated black folks at a slower rate than its modern-day dark-skinned replacement, at least we had the good sense to be outraged and in no mood to contemplate rationalizations or be fooled by distractions.

Our new millennium strategy is to pray the Black KKK goes away or ignores us. How's that working?

About as well as the attempt to shift attention away from this uniquely African-American crisis by focusing on an "injustice" the white media allegedly perpetrated against Sean Taylor.

Within hours of his death, there was a story circulating that members of the black press were complaining that news outlets were disrespecting Taylor's victimhood by reporting on his troubled past

No disrespect to Taylor, but he controlled the way he would be remembered by the way he lived. His immature, undisciplined behavior with his employer, his run-ins with law enforcement, which included allegedly threatening a man with a loaded gun, and the fact a vehicle he owned was once sprayed with bullets are all pertinent details when you've been murdered.

Marcellus Wiley, a former NFL player, made the radio circuit Wednesday, singing the tune that athletes are targets. That was his explanation for the murders of Taylor and Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams and the armed robberies of NBA players Antoine Walker and Eddy Curry.

Really?

Let's cut through the bull(manure) and deal with reality. Black men are targets of black men. Period. Go check the coroner's office and talk with a police detective. These bullets aren't checking W-2s.

Rather than whine about white folks' insensitivity or reserve a special place of sorrow for rich athletes, we'd be better served mustering the kind of outrage and courage it took in the 1950s and 1960s to stop the white KKK from hanging black men from trees.

But we don't want to deal with ourselves. We take great joy in prescribing medicine to cure the hate in other people's hearts. Meanwhile, our self-hatred, on full display for the world to see, remains untreated, undiagnosed and unrepentant.

Our self-hatred has been set to music and reinforced by a pervasive culture that promotes a crab-in-barrel mentality.

You're damn straight I blame hip hop for playing a role in the genocide of American black men. When your leading causes of death and dysfunction are murder, ignorance and incarceration, there's no reason to give a free pass to a culture that celebrates murder, ignorance and incarceration.

Of course there are other catalysts, but until we recapture the minds of black youth, convince them that it's not OK to "super man dat ho" and end any and every dispute by "cocking on your bitch," nothing will change.

Does a Soulja Boy want an education?

HBO did a fascinating documentary on Little Rock Central High School, the Arkansas school that required the National Guard so that nine black kids could attend in the 1950s. Fifty years later, the school is one of the nation's best in terms of funding and educational opportunities. It's 60 percent black and located in a poor black community.

Watch the documentary and ask yourself why nine poor kids in the '50s risked their lives to get a good education and a thousand poor black kids today ignore the opportunity that is served to them on a platter.

Blame drugs, blame Ronald Reagan, blame George Bush, blame it on the rain or whatever. There's only one group of people who can change the rotten, anti-education, pro-violence culture our kids have adopted. We have to do it.

According to reports, Sean Taylor had difficulty breaking free from the unsavory characters he associated with during his youth.

The "keepin' it real" mantra of hip hop is in direct defiance to evolution. There's always someone ready to tell you you're selling out if you move away from the immature and dangerous activities you used to do, you're selling out if you speak proper English, embrace education, dress like a grown man, do anything mainstream.

The Black KKK is enforcing the same crippling standards as its parent organization. It wants to keep black men in their place — uneducated, outside the mainstream and six feet deep.

In all likelihood, the Black Klan and its mentality buried Sean Taylor, and any black man or boy reading this could be next.
