How will the team react?

I'm sure they will be live when they can get all of their people in studio, it's probably too early in the morning.. just my best guess.

It's before 6am in LA. I think NFLN only has a few production people there overnight. Besides, other than the tragic announcement, I don't think there is any other news to report or to go live with.

Still, you call them, you wake them up. You get their asses over to work. They should have prepared obit pieces on him yesterday. They should have Faulk and Woodson discussing it. Schefter ready to provide whatever info as it comes in.

But in the end it doesn't matter

Let them stay in bed those assholes just want to drag ST's name through the mud, like he was fucking Pacman Jones or some shit.

If this was Tom Brady oh lord they would be all over it.

NFL Network isn't alone. We're still watching the midnight Sportscenter. Comcast SportsNet is showing a college football replay. I've only scanned the "News" networks, but I've seen nothing.

As soon as the media heard this news, they should have started writing career retrospectives, in case Sean didn't make it. Casey Husband had a piece up at 7 am on Redskins.com - that's his job.

I wouldn't place high expectations on this upcoming game. I feel lost right now, and I didn't even know Taylor. I can't imagine his teammates being able to focus this week. The managing the aftermath of this tragedy will be the biggest challenge of Gibbs's NFL career.

It's hard to care about football right now. I can't imagine what the team will be going through this week leading up to the game. Sunday is going to be a very emotional day needless to say.

This comes back to Gibbs and Co bringing the team together as one strong family. We can curl up in a ball, or we can come out and honor him with our finest efforts. It's gonna take a lot of strength and maturity, but I think we all know Sean wants to look down on his teammates and see them knock heads, not pout. I believe Gibbs will help our players mourn him off the field, and honor him on it.
