If Jack Kent Cooke comes back to reclaim the Redskins, he'll need to have Shirley MacLaine channeling for him. Much as some of us old-timers would like to see that happen, it ain't gonna happen.


I have said all along that Taylor would be in camp - even before the "unfortunate gun incident"; I wasn't sure he'd be there on the first day of camp, but he'd be there. Now I think he'll be there bright and early on the first morning that camp begins.

I've said all along that he will not spend any time in jail - even before the other gentlemen involved here refused to turn state's evidence against Taylor.

I can't give you any quotes recently from Sean Taylor about anything because Taylor hasn't talked to the media very much - even less to them than to Joe Gibbs it seems.

But if you think Taylor's happy with his contract you forget how he reacted to KW II's comments that he got screwed in signing that deal about 48 hours after the ink was dry. And you forget how he's been hearing from the NFLPA and the media and probably from his new agent that this was not the best deal he could have signed. His contract is for a lot more money than I will make in my lifetime, but he stood to make less than some people drafted after him and that is an ego-bruise. Most pro athletes can't take ego-bruises very well; I suspect that Sean Taylor is very similar to his compatriots in that dimension.
