@LostinTheOffice: Right. So it's okay to make whatever jokes you want about people who've been murdered, just as long as you're somewhat confident their mourning families won't read it. Got it.

@Glossina Glossinidae:

So what? my grandfather died 2 years ago, and it's a distant memory. memories fade, that's what they do. it's a good thing, it means we aren't stuck wallowing in the sorrows of the past.

Given that Deadspin thrives on being generally being assholey in everything they write and then encourages in from commenters, this righteous indignation about people who dare to judge Sean Taylor absolutely cracks me up.

@Unamerican:
Are you under the impression that his wife and child read deadspin? While I appreciate intelligent discussion about how proud his family should be of him (and I completely agree with the post as an angle I had not thought of) a good tranny joke never hurt anybody either.

"We have buried 200 Sean Taylors in this city this year. We don't know what would have come of their dreams and hopes. They deserve our tears, too, for they may have been anonymous to you, but they weren't to their mothers and fathers, their best friends and lovers, their teachers and mentors."

Aldridge hit the nail on the head. People are dying at an alarming rate in Philly, and there's relatively little outrage. My brother turns 24 next year, and I'm fucking scared for him-- he walks those streets with the freshly spilled blood on the pavement.

Aldridge used to have the Redskins beat for the Washington Post, and I always enjoyed his work. Back in the 90's, the Post was my Deadspin, with Wilbon, Kornheiser, & Boswell (along with Tom Shales, Norman Chad and others) consistently doing a great job. Now, not so much.

I hate to say it but we all know in about 6 months Sean Taylor will be a distant memory on here, in the media, at ESPN. His family and friends will be the only ones that will really feel this forever. Even Redskin fans will be wondering how they can bolster their secondary and seek that Championship.

Apparently it was a burglary attempt gone awry after all.

The Meast died a heroic death, protecting his family. Maybe just once somebody in the media can bring this up? Sean, even if he was flawed, is an example.

Not of the "Spoiled Athlete" or the "Hip-Hop Thug", but of a young dude who matured into a man and a great father.

His parents, coaches, teammates, teachers, friends and family ought to be very proud of the man Sean became.
