for another year of tributes by the NFL and the drunk white fans to the late Sean Taylor, who spit in an opponent's face on the field and shot bullets at people off it, but who has been virtually canonized since his death.


Sean Taylor on Washington Redskins' minds as training camp opens


There are tangible reminders of Sean Taylor at Redskins Park.


The wooden plaque near new head coach Jim Zorn's office, for example. Or the Pro Bowl safety's locker room stall, still arranged precisely as it was the day he died.


And then there are the reminders no one can touch or see, the vivid memories of Taylor that allowed him to make his way into his former teammates' thoughts Sunday, when the Washington Redskins opened their first training camp without him.


"You know how it is when you lose somebody - it's just personal experiences," said safety Reed Doughty, who moved into Taylor's spot in the starting lineup last season. "It might be a drill that we're doing that Sean used to do so perfectly and I can't quite get right. Or . . . he might get that extra rep in when everybody's tired."

Another new low for the NFL -- a thug who only played a few years gets inducted into the team's equivalent of the Hall of Fame because he died young.
<H1 ="storyTitle">Taylor to be inducted posthumously by Redskins</H1>
Safety Sean Taylor will take his place among Washington Redskins greats when he is inducted posthumously into the franchise's Ring of Fame on Nov. 30 game against the New York Giants.


The ceremony will precede the Redskins' 1 p.m. ET kickoff against the New York Giants, the first game following the one-year anniversary of Taylor's slaying at age 24.


"It's appropriate that Sean joins our Ring of Fame after a stellar career cut short far too soon," owner Dan Snyder said in a statement. "His life touched so many of us in such deep and lasting ways. His presence is all around us, in our organization and among our fans."


A two-time Pro Bowl safety, Taylor played four seasons with the Redskins after Washington selected him with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2004 draft.


Taylor will become the 43rd name on the Ring of Fame, which honors those who have made distinguished contributions to the Redskins. The ceremony will feature a tribute to Taylor, messages from former teammates and a presentation of a plaque to members of Taylor's family.

Ahh, just when you thought Dan Syder and his group of twits couldnt sink any lower into their wimpy, white/jewish guilt-holes.

Pat Tillman, a real man and real football player, was killed serving his country.....Taylor was killed while bickering with local Florida blacks over ATVs (God only knows what the real story was). Now he's in the Redskins HOF? This story just furthers the NFL's fall into mediocredy.

I must give credit to the media, I havent heard them mention Taylor in a while. Perhaps one day he'll have his own national holiday.Edited by: Thrashen
