Live Feed For Sean's Funeral

[12thMan]

Boy, were him and Buck Ortega close or what? I knew they played ball in high school and at the U, but they were literally tied at the hip.

He said he really regretted that they grew apart when Sean came to the NFL. He basically said Sean was responsible for him coming to Washington, D.C. He said Tayor taught him so much about the business side of the NFL and how your image is so important.

Buck told two funny stories about Taylor: He said he remembered missing his first football curfew because he was with Sean Taylor that night. The crowd laughed. Then he told another (opposite order) about a time they went spear fishing and how Taylor dove in the water and swam near the bottom and came right back up. Ortega said, Sean you know need time to equalize. You just can't dive that deep, come right back to the surface and start doing stuff (paraphrasd). Taylor said, he was okay. Ortega said that was the first time he knew Sean Taylor wasn't all human.
