I have a few friends in the Miami area and yesterday I was told by one of them, who has ties to the authorities, that Sean Taylor’s death was from a robbery gone bad.
Word was the someone related to Taylor had told some people that he kept large sums of money — in the tens of thousands — in shoe boxes in his bed room.
I’ve heard a lot about retribution and old “gang” wars as a possible motives, but this one sounds interesting.
It is very, very sad. This was one of the top 10 players in the NFL. He was second only to another ex-U of Miami player, Ed Reed, as a safety.
This was a Hall of Famer in diapers. Whatever happened, let’s hope justice prevails.
