For those of you that don't live near or are familiar with the Washington Redskins, this guy Sean Taylors death is reminiscent (sp?) to a country losing their president. They absolutely adored this guy! Fans, coaches, and players alike. I would expect this to be the most emotionally amped game of the year at Fed Ex field. I am neither a fan of the Skins, or G-men but I would proceed with caution if you're touching this game.
================================================
The late Sean Taylor will be inducted into the Redskins’ Ring of Fame at FedExField in a ceremony prior to the Redskins-New York Giants game on Nov. 30.
Fans are encouraged to arrive early at FedExField for the pre-game ceremony starting at 12:30 p.m. ET. Kickoff is 1 p.m. ET.
The entire Ring of Fame ceremony honoring Taylor will be broadcast LIVE on Redskins.com. Fans unable to attend the proceedings should go to Redskins.com at 12:30 p.m. to watch the ceremony as it unfolds at FedExField.
It will be the Redskins’ first game following the anniversary of Taylor’s tragic death at the age of 24, which occurred on Nov. 27 of last year in Miami.
“It’s appropriate that Sean joins our Ring of Fame after a stellar career cut short far too soon,” Redskins owner Daniel M. Snyder said. “His life touched so many of us in such deep and lasting ways. His presence is all around us, in our organization and among our fans.”
Executive Vice President of Football Operations Vinny Cerrato added: “Sean was developing into one of the best to ever play the safety position, as well as becoming a role model to those who knew him. He still touches us every day in some way on and off the field.”
Taylor is the 43rd member admitted into the Ring of Fame, which honors those who have made distinguished contributions to the team.
The ceremony will feature a tribute and messages from former teammates, as well as comments from Taylor's family and the presentation of commemorative plaques to members of Taylor's family after his memorial is added to the stadium wall.
With his combination of size, speed, athleticism, ferocity and instincts, Taylor was one of the most unique and dynamic athletes the game has ever seen, despite playing less than four seasons.
He was a two-time Pro Bowl selection after the Redskins made him the fifth pick of the 2004 NFL draft following an All-American career at the University of Miami.
