NFL Star Taylor Dies After Gunshot

46. Some of you people make me completely sick. Stereotypical, ignorant aholes. The man gets shot in his own home with his family and is now dead. Show some respect for christ sakes. It's funny how the people use the Internet to be annonmous as some sort of security blanket. Chris - Fine example of ignorance, way to bring race into the issue you bigot. I really wonder if you would choose your words more carefully if this wasn't the Internet, I bet you would. People like you are scum, and I would love to take a piss on you.

47. i agree with #34. While I think it is tragic that this happened, we cannot close our eyes to the facts in the case and in this man's life. Just because he died in a tragic way does not change the way he lived his life. I am an African American woman and my heart goes out to his family because of another death of a black man who had the chance to do so much good in his life. But you dont have to be a rocket scientist to know that the way it went down says so much. The police are spinning it as a robery attempt... but come on, who ever did this specifically came there to kill him. They cut the phone lines and only shot him..what does that tell you? I feel bad, but so many of our athletes go down this road and it is so uncalled for. Its not a black/white thing, but it is indicative of living a certain way and having it catch up to you one day. No he did not deserve it, and I would not wish it on anybody. But you know the saying, live by the sword..... I sincerly hope they catch whoever did it. God bless his family.

50. Detrissa---Moderate your message board? So only your thoughts count? It's idiots like you that want to control, and censor freedom of speech. Why is your opinion the only one that matters? I have no use for an idiots intolerance of others right to speak, you piece of crap.

52. New reports say that days before someone left an unusually large knife out on his bed. A threat maybe? This would be akin to the old fish in a newspaper bit that the mob used to intimidate victims before a hit.

53. This is so sad! I am a Dallas fan, but live in the DC area. What a shame for such a talented player to be gone so young. It is a loss for all football fans no matter who your favorite team is.

54. I FEEL FOR HIS FAMILY. TO BE SHOT IN THE LEG........ AND DIE...... I BET HE THOUGHT THAT HE WAS COMING HOME IN A FEW DAYS. GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY AND HIS CHILD. WHATEVER TYPE OF LIFESTYLE HE HAD..... AT THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING HE WAS AT HOME. SO I DON'T WANT TO READ ANYMORE ABOUT HIM BEING A THUG ANDTHE FACT THAT HE IS BLACK WAS THE CAUSE OF HIS UNTIMLY DEATH BECAUSE THAT IS TOOOOO SILLY. THIS MAN HAD PROBLEMS JUST LIKE ANYONE...... BUT TO SHOOT THIS MAN IN HIS HOME!!!!!! WHOEVER DID I PRAY THAT HE LOSE HIS MIND OVER THIS ANDCOME OUT TO THE POLICE.

55. It's a tragedy but for someone to break into your house two times & then shoot you in the groin there is more to the story.

This guy has had numerous issues with the law & just a couple of years ago almost went to prison for a violent crime of some sort.

I think he messed with the wrong guys woman.

59. Football is a high impact, violent sport. For those that say Sean got what he deserved because he spat at another play, you're sick. SPITTING DOES NOT EQUAL DEATH

RIP Sean Taylor...
