Hilarious, true or not.

He retired in 2007, the same year his star defensive back Sean Taylor was murdered. It’s something he has never forgotten and weighed heavily on him for years.

“Sean Taylor was 24 years old when he went downstairs of his house to defend his family and lost his life,” Gibbs says. “Think about it. How long do we have? Do I luck out and get 74 years? Do I get 78?

“One thing for sure is that there is a clock ticking on you and me in the game of life and before that last tick we want to make sure we won the game.”

Taylor’s death made Gibbs realize how fragile life can be and motivated him to impact the lives of others, which spawned the idea for his book and projects that will follow.



So true.
