Re: Not good Taylor news
 

The most depressing part of this story is my total lack of surprise when I heard about it, there was an inevitability about something like this happening ever since the end of last season.

Re: Not good Taylor news
 

Is it true that guys from Miami refer to it as the U because none of them can actually spell university?

I'm not suprised either davy.

He's not a Redskin and it remains to be seen if he ever will be a true Redskin.

Ooh, your powers of deduction are exceptional. I can't allow you to waste them here when there are so many crimes going unsolved at this very moment. Go, go, for the good of the city. ...Worst thread ever! (and yes, that's more classic comic book guy)

Re: Not good Taylor news
 

Of course Taylor is innocent until proven guilty, BUT the fact that his name is involved in this just isn't good. I hope and pray it's a mixup or he was an innocent party here, but as we've seen in the past with him, where there's smoke there's usually fire.

Re: Not good Taylor news
 

Exactly Matty. He needs to avoid putting himself in these situations. And one way to do that is to be with the team.

I never thought I'd ever say but he should heed the words of a Raven-who knows a thing or two about wrong place at the wrong [URL=http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2075502]time[/URL]

My thought is if he is innocent then why is he hiding? Nobody know's where this kid is, can't blame Gibbs for not being able to get a hold of him when the cop's can't find him either.

At this point I just have a picture in my head that at some point he's going to be put away for a long time, maybe not this time but it's coming, he's a very foolish individual who is going to winde up just like Carruth.

Re: Not good Taylor news
 

There usually is fire where there is smoke Matty, but he hasn't even been arrested or charged with a crime. The circumstances are so shady right now that I think it's premature to comment on the situation other than to say, "It's not good that his name is involved." I can agree with that, but I can't agree with notions that we should crucify him.

If the police had a lot of evidence (i.e. several eyewitness statements) that he had fired the weapon, there would be an arrest warrant. That a warrant hasn't been issued indicates that there isn't such evidence.

[QUOTE=NY_Skinsfan]Don't worry Matty, if anything happens I won't pull a CRT3 and demand an avator change.... :)

But seriously.....look at the avator. It's almost like he's saying, "What the f#ck am I doing here?"[/QUOTE]
I never demanded a change I just simply asked.

As far as assumming Taylor's innocence or guilt, he just basically has to grow up and be a man instead of a highly paid little kid. Someone will set him straight, could be his father, grandmother, Portis or maybe even Winslow. But this crap has got to end sooner or later. The crap that the Redskins did a extensive backround check is BS. The wrath of the fans on gameday will also take its toll on him, he just has no clue.

Re: Not good Taylor news
 

The bottom line is that this guy wasn't where he should have been.
His physical gifts don't make up for his bad attitude and lack of good judgement.

ummmmmmmmmmmm....Just read this thread, and the Robinson thread...it's a lesson in how talented atheletes get into trouble............

He's apparently been playing pick-up basketball with a fellow Warpath [URL=http://www.thewarpath.net/showpost.php?p=87091&postcount=1]member[/URL]

Heybigstar! Do your part for the team, bring Taylor to Redskins Park

You're almost certainly correct. However, there's a chance it was simply a "wrong place, wrong time" sort of incident. I'm sure just about everyone here have been in shady places with shady characters before. Moreover, many NFL football players come from poor neighborhoods where crime is rampant and "bad peeps" are everywhere; you don't find crime and criminals, they find you.

I don't know where exactly Taylor is from - perhaps he's from a very upscale, low-crime neighborhood. But, I can't say he exercised poor judgment. I don't know where he's from, who (if anyone) he was with, his relationship to the shooter, under what circumstances the shots were fired, or anything really.

All we know is the police want to question him about a shooting. It sounds bad and it could be very bad, but right now, we just don't know squat.

Good points Ramseyfan...thing is you'd think Taylor would know a bit better, what with his dad being a police sheriff
