Talk like that will get you killed around here homie. Your cracker ass isnt even worthy to speak the name of the Great Sean Taylor. The hardest and most feared tackler in the history of the NFL. Str8 cut your throat homo.

Uh....yeah...Mr. (I hope) Anonymous...first, how do get off getting all upset when you are first commenting on a post that was up for almost a year? Second, are you on the LGPA because English clearly isn’t working for you. Now if I could just figure out what league mandates Ebonics (and poorly spoken at that) I might know who you are.

Wait...I have a better idea...good old Google Analytics tells me where the people who have visited this site are located, geographically speaking. You commented on Sunday, August 24^th. The weekends are usually a slow day here at Nobody Likes a Jerk so only 5 people visited on that day 1 in the UK and 4 in the US (1 each in Arizona, Georgia, New York, and Virginia). Since you commented you must have been on the site for at least a minute or two so let me look at the usage times....well what do you know...only the visitor from Fairfax, Virginia was on for more then a few seconds. So that must be where you came in from. Now I know based on your typing that you’re not smart enough to hold a job that will allow you to afford a home in Fairfax so you must either work there (maybe as a disgruntled lettuce washer at the McDonald’s on Route 7 over by the mall) or you are just passing through (are you the guy who was getting his pimped-out Geo Metro hosed down at the carwash?).

Furthermore, you said “Talk like that will get you killed around here...” Is there that much “straight up” violence in Fairfax? At last I heard they had some problems with a shoplifter or some rowdy teen hooligans riding their skateboards in a “no loitering” area. I didn’t realize that there were killa, gangasta, hard-core G’s there. Cool! Can I rent you out for kids’ birthday parties?

Secondly, you refer to Mr. Taylor as, The hardest and most feared tackler in the history of the NFL.”. Um again, he played only 4 seasons, and to be more accurate 3 seasons and part of the 4^th before he was murdered. How can he be the most ferocious hitter in all of the NFL (100+ years) if he barely played? He WAS a hard hitter but not the hardest ever and even he would tell you that. We don’t call Bo Jackson the best running back ever because ....he wasn’t! He was probably the best of his playing time but not the best ever....come on!

I will find out who you are but in the meantime I want the rest of my readers to see just how strong your masterment of the English language is.

Number 21 Forever?

Sad news out of Miami today as Washington Redskin Defensive Back, Sean Taylor has died as a result of a gunshot wound suffered Monday during an apparent break in at his Florida home.

I like many football fans, and others, are saddened and shocked by this news and while I'm not a fan of the Washington Redskins I do sympathize with their employees (including his teammates) and his family.

This is where my sympathy stops. It is also where your's should stop too. I'm talking to you REDSKIN FAN! Oh Yes, you yet again show just how much of a dope you are. Why are you going to the Redskin's practice facility and leaving flowers by the tree? Did you know Sean personally? Did you guys hang out or talk on the phone after games? Maybe you grabbed some beers after a tough day on the practice field? NO! No you didn't and you didn't know him other then the guy who wore #21 (for 3 seasons....we're not talking about Darrell Green here). You can be sad and then shake your head with the "that's a tragedy" look on your face when your co-workers bring it up.

First read this article from the Washington Post from today about "fan's utter despair at this shocking news".

Now let me ask you this. If you are shot dead tomorrow in your home (or even at a Redskin game), do you think that Coach Joe Gibbs and the offensive linemen are going to come by your home and leave flowers and a teddy bear by your trees? The answer is NO. They don't know you and will only have that same "tragedy" look and then move on with life. You should try that some time.

I don't know Sean Taylor personally either, I freely admit. What I do know about him is reports from the newspaper that he was indicted last year on a charge that he waved a hand gun at a man who he was in an argument with. He later plead guilty to a lesser charge but he still had the gun. Then 8 days ago his house was broken into and a knife was left on his bed. If my house got broken into I'd have a security company there the next morning setting up as much of a system as I could afford. If I had NFL player money, I'd not only have a state of the art system, but dogs, electric fence, and armed security guards patrolling my property 24-7. No expense would be too great to protect my 1 year old daughter.

Sadly, none of these precautions were taken. Clearly this is a sad case but I'm not sure I don't understand why the cops weren't called as soon as he was awoken by the noise, especially in light of what had happened a week earlier. No, he went down with his "machete" which he kept for "self defense." (makes my pocket knife look puny.)

Soldiers and policemen and firemen and rescue workers die everyday protecting our freedom and making this world a safer place for us. They are not mourned by the public like this. Taylor was a football player. That's it. He got paid way too much money (they all do) to play a children's game to entertain you. This is a really bad thing....I'm scared to see what happens when Britney finally kicks the bucket!

Bottom line is that his family and friends and coworkers/teammates should morn him, you REDSKIN FAN can be sad but then figure out who's going to take his place in the line-up because ultimately that's all you care about in the long run anyway.
