Four Months On, No Closure In Sean Taylor Case

Frustrations are coming to a boil in the investigation of the Nov. 27 slaying of Sean Taylor, which in its immediate wake seemed, and was presented by authorities, to be an open-and-shut case. Now, as Fanhouse notes, a judge has threatened jail time to one of the case's lead detectives if the report is not presented to defense attorneys by April 28. More »

Braylon Edwards Honors Sean Taylor His Own Way

Today the NFL season officially ends with the annual Pro Bowl game in Honolulu. Its a day filled with Gonzo Friday-esque wardrobes, leis, coconuts, and, in this year's, hearfelt Sean Taylor tributes. Redskins reps Chris Cooley, Ethan Albright, and Chris Samuels will all be wearing Taylor's number 21 during today's game. Replacing Taylor at safety is the Dallas Cowboys Ken Hamlin, who when asked if he would also pay tribute to Taylor, told the Honolulu Advertiser, "We'll see." More »

The Final Word On Sean Taylor (For Now)

We've always enjoyed David Aldridge; he seems like one of those guys who found his true self once he left ESPN. We appreciate that he keeps the sports for what they are, and knows who he is: He's an information guy, and he's one of the best. But he knows when to step out and make his voice heard when the time comes, and the time has come. More »

Antrel Rolle Thinks He Knows What Happened To Sean Taylor

We still don't think Michael Wilbon's chat comments were in particularly good taste — and who's more experts on good taste than us? — but he's not the only one questioning whether the death of Sean Taylor was just some random break-in. Cardinals cornerback Antrel Rolle, who also went to the U and knew Taylor, is mincing no words. More »

Sean Taylor Free To Visit All Kinds Of DJs Now

One of our favorite, quietly sublime stories of the last couple months involved Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor and his battle with a prosecutor who worked as a DJ in his spare time. (His MySpace page included the immortal self-description as a bulging-biceps, headphones-wearing prosecutor looking for "brains and an ass" from a potential mate; he eventually resigned from the case.) Anyway, it appears Taylor is off the hook, pleading out to two misdemeanor charges that will require no jail time. More »

You Be The DJ, He'll Be The Prosecutor

We don't have a MySpace page, mainly because we think we have enough of an Internet presence, thank you very much. We sometimes think it's a shame, though, because it seems like everytime we see a MySpace page, the person with the page appears to be having more sex than we are.

Sean Taylor Needs To Practice His Spitting

If you watched last weekend's Redskins-Buccaneers game, you saw Washington safety Sean Taylor ejected for spitting on Tampa Bay running back Michael Pittman, and you know when you spit on a Marine who has been known to drive his Hummer into vehicles that contain his wife and child, there will be ramifications. Even if the ESPN Sunday Night crew portrayed Taylor as a victim in the whole matter. More »
