sean taylor shot

I don't follow the Skins, but this guy sounds like a real winner, not.

Taylor has been in trouble numerous times since he was drafted as the No. 5 overall pick in 2004. He has been fined at least seven times during his professional career for late hits and other infractions, including a $17,000 penalty for spitting in the face of Tampa Bay running back Michael Pittman during a playoff game in January 2006. He also was fined $25,000 for skipping a mandatory rookie symposium shortly after he was drafted.

Redskins coaches and players have defended Taylor, saying he was smart and misunderstood. Taylor has been slow let anyone into his inner circle. He has rarely spoken to reporters, saying he does not trust them. Teammates said he became more mature over the last year after he became a father for the first time.

In 2005, Taylor was accused of brandishing a gun at a man and repeatedly hitting him during a fight that broke out after Taylor and some friends went looking for the people who had allegedly stolen his all-terrain vehicles.

Taylor reached a deal with prosecutors last year after they agreed to drop felony charges against him. He pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors in the assault case and was sentenced to 18 months probation. The pleas prompted another fine from the NFL but kept his football career intact.

He also was ordered to talk about the importance of education at 10 Miami schools and had to contribute $1,000 for scholarships to each of those schools.

The man Taylor allegedly hit, Ryan Hill, sued, seeking at least $15,000 in damages. Hill sustained bruises to his body, incurred medical expenses and lost wages because of the fight, the lawsuit said.

to be fair, Pittman is a recidivist wife-beater … he once stalked down his wife and child in his landrover and slammed into their car to get them to stop … i actually thought it was a fun fight between the two of them, and one of the most ridiculous playoff games ever (redskins won with approximately 42 yards of total offense)
this guy does have a temper problem but when your at the level that he is at life you can't afford to be a pussy. And really this stuff happens all the time…Im actually a redskin fan and this guy is known to be very quiet and never talks to the media…none of this stuff makes him a bad person just problems he's had in his life.

On the field maybe, but when you're off the field you're expected to be civil just like the other citizens in your community.

Oh, and sptitting at someone is never acceptable.

No but think about this way: if you know how to spell, it might increase the validity of the point you're trying to make. Otherwise, people are going to dismiss you as being a fucking ignorant dumbass. Just sayin'.

Have they announced that Ricky Williams is starting tonight for the injured Jesse Chatman?
I'm really glad I'm at a level in life where I can afford to be a pussy.
As of now the Miami police have ruled out two potential suspects.

Kevin Dubrow and the guy from Hawthorne Heights.
Post of the week, fam.

a·pos·tro·phe (ə-pŏs'trə-fē)
n.
The direct address of an absent or imaginary person or of a personified abstraction, especially as a digression in the course of a speech or composition. In classical rhetoric, the term could also denote a speaker's turning to address a particular member or section of the audience.

I'm going with Classical Rhetoric on the part of Bearman in addressing Lambofgodfan. It was actually rather clever; sorry you missed it.
blast! i knew i should have paid more attention to my various rhetoric tutors during my tenure at middlesex!

what bearman said. write like an 8 year old, be taken as seriously as an 8 year old. it's not just your mistake with "your/you're", at times you're not making any sense:

and is this what prolonged exposure to lamb of god does to the listener?

<cue the reply with someone taking issue with my lack of capitalization>
According to various reports this is the third time in two weeks that someone has broken into (or attempted to break into) Taylor's house. Last weekend, somebody broke in, rifled through his belongings, stole nothing, but left a knife on his bed. Last night, somebody breaks in, goes straight to his bedroom and shoots him in the groin? This sounds like something other than a robbery.
If the movie Boyz In The Hood and Tupac and B.I.G. taught me anything its that you don't want to cross into a point of no return with the wrong dudes. When Taylor pulled a gun on those dudes in 2005, that was like a Doughboy/Ricky or 'Hit 'em Up' moment.

Also, when Tupac was originally shot in 1994 it was called a 'robbery' but who knows what the real motive was (then and here).
