Here's more from Wilbon....I don't like this one bit. To say he wasn't surprised that ST died? What the hell?
He sure didnt sound like that on PTI.

Initial reports indicated that the phone lines to the house had been cut. Police say that was not true, but the phone service to the house was not working. They were able to recover finger prints and other evidence from the break in and will compare it with evidence collected from a second break in 8 days earlier.

you dont understand his context... on PTI he said "i was shocked, but not surprised". he means that obviously the sudden death came as a shock tohim, but Taylor wasnt exactly the last guy he would think could ever get gunned down. you seriously dont think ST was involved in something unfavorableat some point that could have led to this?
most people aren't calling him a "black thug" or anything, just a good kid who couldnt turn his life around completely before his past caught upto him.
Also, i wonder why he did not have a gun under his bed, but a machete? Is there something from preventing him from owning a gun? Or did he just not have one?
Because of his prior run in 's w/ the law, he can't have a gun...

he was on probation at one point, not sure if that was over or he was still under that.
[h6]Posted at 4:10 PM ET, 11/28/2007[/h6] [h3]Funeral Monday in Miami[/h3]
Some players and Coach Gibbs just spoke coming off the field. I'll post things as I can.
Coach Joe Gibbs said the funeral will take place on Monday.
The meeting this morning lasted about 2 hours in the auditorium, players said, with players reporting at 8. Coach Joe Gibbs and owner Daniel Snyder spoke, and the players had no idea Sean's family would be there. But Pedro Taylor and Sean's family arrived, including his girlfriend Jackie, his mom and an uncle. Jackie Garcia and Pedro Taylor both addressed the team, in what players said were highly emotional moments. Players said they took courage and inspiration from the words of Jackie and Pedro, both of whom urged them that the best way to honor Sean was to play as hard as they can in the passionate fashion he played.
Tailback Clinton Portis also spoke, and he too broke down a bit recalling his experiences with Sean. Team chaplain Brett Fuller also addressed the team. Safety Pierson Prioleau and others said they had the chance to hug Sean's family and voice their support at the end of the meeting. Sean's family has since flown back to Miami.
After the meeting players said they tried to regain composure, then the team went through a truncated remainder of the day, shuffling off to position meetings and getting ready for practice, which lasted from about 2-3:30.
Coach Gibbs also said that he took solace in the words of San Francisco Coach Mike Nolan, one of many NFL coaches to phone him. Nolan lost a player a few years back. Denver Coach Mike Shanahan, who lost a player to a shooting last season, also called.
Miami police: Taylor burglary 'random'
******** safety Sean Taylor appears to have been the victim of a random burglary attempt, authorities in Miami said today.
VIDEO: Police: Taylor burglary 'random'
"There's nothing that indicates that this is something that involved Sean," Robert Parker, the director of the Miami-Dade police department, said during a press briefing. "We're more along the lines of the thought process that this is a random occurence."
Washington ******** safety Sean Taylor died early yesterday morning of a gunshot wound, and Florida law-enforcement authorities said they are investigating whether he was targeted or the victim of an armed burglar.
Taylor died about 5:30 a.m. in a Miami hospital, 28 hours after he was shot by an intruder in his home in Palmetto Bay, Fla.
Miami-Dade police spokesman Robert Williams said only that the investigation was in its early stages. But authorities close to the probe and others familiar with Taylor said police have focused on a connection between the shooting and a burglary attempt earlier this month at Taylor's home, during which someone left a kitchen knife on a bed.
"This kid was assassinated; it was a hit," said one longtime Taylor friend with ties to the National Football League. "With the knife beside the bedside, it was obvious they came looking for him."
No arrests were made in the first break-in, which, according to police records, occurred between 7 p.m. Nov. 17 and midnight Nov. 18. That intruder entered the house after prying open a front window, went into several rooms and rifled through drawers and a safe in the bedroom.
"They're really sifting through that incident to see if there's any correlation," Miami-Dade detective Mario Rachid said.
Taylor's former lawyer, Richard Sharpstein, who has served as the family's spokesman since the shooting, told The Washington Times that he thinks the two break-ins at the Taylor home are "definitely related."
"I will continue to raise the suspicion that they are connected," Mr. Sharpstein said. "In my opinion, they were either sending a message by leaving the knife on the bed or flaunting the fact that they knew where he lived."
Mr. Sharpstein, a veteran defense attorney and former prosecutor, said he did not think the intruder intended to kill Taylor, thinking instead that he would be traveling with the ******** to Tampa for their game against the Buccaneers on Sunday.
He said it was a "fluke" that Taylor was at home, saying he had returned to Miami with the permission of the ******** to get a second opinion on his injured knee.
"It was only by chance that he was home, a very bad chance," said Mr. Sharpstein, a longtime friend of Taylor and his family.
