Only the good die young

Sean Taylor died this morning. He was 24.

I will remember Sean Taylor as a man who liked to hit people. Hard. He was good at it. He is also responsible for the Only Highlight From Any Pro Bowl That Is Actually Worth Watching.



(After this happened, I was seriously screaming at my TV, "IT'S AN EXHIBITION!!!" like Duke in Rocky IV.)

R.I.P. Boom King.

Oh, and to whoever is responsible for this, you better hope the cops find you before Lamar Thomas does.

Week 8 LOLpicks: Boom Kings assemble!

Redskins -17 AT Patriots:Between Sean Taylor, Laron Landry, Andre Carter and Cornelius Griffin, at least one Redskin defender should become acquainted with Tom Brady's ACL. Hell, if the game gets out of hand early, put in Mike Sellers on defense and let him blitz every play.

Seriously, enough of these "Eff You TDs." Time for a "Eff Me? NO, EFF YOU! Crippling."

Giants -10 AT Dolphins: As you probably know, this game will be played in London, England. Even though I don't know the conversion rate to European spreads, I will still give the points no matter what.

Browns -3 AT Rams: How in God's name has all this time passed, and Chris Berman has never used the nickname "Joe Jurevicius Case of Herpes?" I've been calling him this for more than a decade, and it NEVER gets old.

Steelers -4 AT Bengals: This Chad Johnson interview by Keyshawn Johnson drives me up a goddamn wall. Can someone tell Keyshawn and the NFL Countdown crew that it's their job, not Chad's, to throw the Cincinnati defense under the bus? Hey Key, do you think maybe that all those Bengals that love crime may be a "disruption?" I think so, and I don't need a receiver on pace for 1,800 receiving yards to confirm it for me.

Last Week: 2-2
Season: 13-14-2

Sean Taylor takes requests

From my previous Flight of the Conchords-NFL post:

I wanted Sean Taylor to be the Boom King, but dammit if I can't find a good picture of him knocking the shit out of someone.

So what does Sean Taylor do? Knock the living shit out of someone whilst being photographed. Naitch.
