Deion Sanders on Sean Taylor

Not sure of what to think on Deion's view.

Uhhh... yeah, the situations in the Sean Taylor murder, Darrent Williams murder, and Mike Vick case were all so similar. Thanks for the thoughtful observations and analysis, guys.

every time he opens his mouth, i want to puke

[djnemo65]

What an incoherent weirdo

[Luxorreb]

Deion just pissed that his #21 doesn't matter...

[hagams]

I hate that guy.....Period.

[SmootSmack]

I think some people's previously formed opinions of Deion are clouding their judgement of what he said.

I thought he spoke very well on several matters in that video. And for the record it was Jamie Dukes that brought up Vick (twice)

I have been trying to put this post up for ten minutes, and I keep changing my mind. But after finally hearing Jamie Dukes say what his "main point" was, I am convinced, without a doubt, that he's an idiot. Maybe this segment is mistitled, or maybe Jamie missed that morning's pre-show meeting, or maybe he sweated all his common sense away, but he is, to quote Bugs Bunny, a "maroon."

Sean Taylor being murdered in his home while protecting his family is a different situation than Darrent Williams' unfortunate murder and Michael Vick's stupidity and callousness. To even bring up the other two at this time is asinine, they are unrelated, if anything bring up Tank Johnson and his home arsenal. We know nothing about Taylor's murder, and here Dukes is insinuating that Taylor's affiliations had something to do with his death? He is an idiot! It could have been anything, and this is what happens when you talk about something and don't know anything, you just start grasping at straws.

The NFL Network needs to rename the piece, Jamie Dukes Being An Ass on PUYD. I'm glad I only watch it to see the guy sweat, kinda like I watch NFC Playbook to see Brian Baldinger's pinky and Sterling Sharpe not move his neck for an hour. The moral, I'm an ass too.

Dukes is a clown, to be sure. But when Deion started with this whole "we marched on the Jena 6, are we gonna march on THIS?" tone, I'm sorry, but that's just grandstanding and doesn't solve anything.

Further, I think he really shot himself in the foot by even dignifying Dukes' mention of Vick -- he should have just categorically stated that the Mike Vick has no relevance to Sean's or Darrent Williams' murder. Instead he goes on this looney-eyed rant about being a dog owner himself and not valuing the life of a dog more than that of a human being.

Regardless of whether I agree with that sentiment (I do), or whether the sentiment is actually correct, it was wholly irrelevant to the discussion of Sean Taylor and the time he spent blathering about that could have been better used discussing so many other lines of conversation. But, as usual, Deion was more interested in being flashy than in being substantive.

I never liked Deion..
he is so arrogant

[SkinsLove24/7]

Ridiculous, That was 8 minutes I will not get back.

[skins268]

it was only a matter of time before someone in the media compared the Williams and Taylor murder,because they all see Taylor as a Thug or criminal so its like bound to happen sooner or later.Misperception is the word I think.

Three comments:

1. Deion Sanders may have been a very good football player but he is not someone I would go to for lessons in logical thinking. That was a tenuous argument he made - and that's being very polite.

2. People who make links between the Darrent Williams murder and the killing of Sean Taylor [we know it was a homicide but do not yet know if it was a murder] are not stretching all that far. Both were young NFL players who seemed to have long and bright futures in the league and both were gunned down while in their early 20s. The cases are not identical by any means, but there is sufficient similarity to point out the similarity of these two tragedies. I don't recall any huge outcry that Darrent Williams was some kind of thug so I don't think a reference to him demeans Sean Taylor in any significant way - - except for the fact that Taylor was a far superior player to Williams.

3. The Michael Vick situation is irrelevant to Sean Taylor's death. Period. Exclamation point.
