I'm normally a lurker around here, but being it late at night/early morning because of my odd hours at work, I am probably one of the first to see the news, but this morning Sean Taylor died from his gunshot wound.

It's tragic really, it seems he was finally starting to get serious and clean up his act.   My thoughts go out to his family.
