Eat My Sports: Sean Taylor

This week is an abbreviated EMS, and I’ll make it short, but nothing about this situation is sweet. Sean Taylor, one of the premier safeties in the NFL, and the true anchor of the Washington Redskins’ defense, was shot in his Miami home on Monday morning, then later passed at an area hospital.
Taylor, the fifth overall pick by the Skins in the 2004 draft was entering his prime, and had reached a level of maturation that his coaches had come to admire, a far cry from his days as being labeled as one of the NFL’s bad boys.
No one played the game with more tenacity. He was fierce on the field and was the support structure for Washington’s defense. Anyone who has seen what his absence has meant this season knows that, but his permanent absence leaves a far greater hole.
Marking this as anything other than a tragedy would be labeling it wrong, you hate to see anyone go, but for someone to pass for nothing other than staying in his home adds a touch more of helplessness to the entire situation. We’ll leave the comment board open for your thoughts/memories of #21/#36. As for what annoys me most in sports this week, nothing gets at me more than this.

…or else it gets the crown again. Ingrid Marie Rivera survived a pepper spray attack—it was coated on her dress by rival contestants—and still managed to claim the Miss Puerto Rico crown. It’s a sad state of affairs when even the illustrious Miss Puerto Rico is besieged by malicious acts such as these. Nonetheless, there’s a very easy solution to these kinds of clothing-related assaults. All beauty pageants should be performed in the nude.
Except Miss Vermont. That’s right, I’m talking to you.

Why would a nurse, a profession that pornography has demonstrated is pro-spanking, recommend a law to outlaw spanking?
Who knows? But considering the law is proposed for Massachussetts, parents there might want to get their licks in while they still can.
This, of course, raises the question: what’s the point of guaranteeing insurance for your children if you can’t beat them or scourge their lungs with secondhand smoke?

Our troops serving overseas are horribly under-equipped. They need the best we can give them, since they are defending us and all. Luckily, civilians have been stepping up. Soon, our troops will receive tons and tons of harmonicas.
Why? Because they’ve got those extended tour of duty blues.

Local law enforcement in Kentucky was not prepared for such shocking crime. They could only respond the best way they knew how after a robbery was reported.
According to witnesses, a man wearing a ski mask whom we can only assume was not skiing, got away with $175 from an ice cream store after threatening employees with a stapler.
Key quote: “Ashland Police Capt. Don Petrella said he didn’t know if Rocchi planned to shoot staples at the shop’s employees or use it as a blunt instrument if he didn’t get the cash.”
