Sticksboi05 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Excuse me? Talk about classless.He doesn't deserve to wear the number. Nobody should be wearing the number. Remember when Portis wanted to wear it? Didn't he choose NOT to do so? How is Williams in any way more deserving than Portis to wear it? Answer that, please, instead of saying that I'm acting like a punk just because my opinion differs from yours. It's the Pro Bowl not the regular season. They were buddies and he is repping Sean Taylor as if to say "#21 should be here". He's not saying he is better than Taylor or anything. It's not a matter of "deserving" to, it is showing respect to a fallen friend whom he deeply respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Totally agree. I hate the patriots even more after they decided not to wear 21 on their helmets For the love of God...they did wear the sticker for a week. Then, they took it off. Who? Who did not wear the ribbon? This Taylor thing is slowly turning Redskins fans into my elderly Italian aunts who liked to act like they were going to crawl into the coffin at funerals.

It's not a matter of "deserving" to, it is showing respect to a fallen friend whom he deeply respects. Nobody should be wearing his jersey. Nobody takes someone's place like that. I appreciate the gesture and the thought, and I do believe that they're sincere, but I don't think that it's right for him to wear the number for the same reason that it's not right for Portis to do it like he wanted to. Do you think the league should retire 21? Is Sean Taylor the new Jackie Robinson? Idiotic argument. I'm saying that at the [edit: 2008] Pro Bowl, Taylor's number should not be worn in the free safety position for the NFC. Why is this so difficult for you to grasp?

First of all, you are not a shareholder. Secondly, he is honoring his friend - someone he knew and I may point out that you did not know. Finally, everyone realizes that he is not going to be wearing an actual Redskins' jersey, right? It's the NFC jersey...which is red...or blue...or something. I never pay attention to the Pro Bowl.

Would it be okay if 21 was used by a Cornerback? What about Tomlinson? Is it okay for him to wear it? I want to know where this bright line is drawn. And why do you get to use it in your user name?

MDRedskinsFan Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Sorry but this is disrespectful, Number 1 he is a Dallas Cowboy, Number 2 he isn't and never will be as good as ST and thirdly he is way too fat and slow to even think about it. All he can do is horsecollar because he is always getting burned! I would think we need to send emails out saying this won't be tolerated.To me, this response illustrates how hypocritical our fanbase is. One week we are all up in arms about a report that said we need to let the Taylor talk rest in peace because it was trashy and we didn't want to do that. But then the next week, a friend of Sean Taylor's and the person selected to replace him in the Pro Bowl wants to honor him and we're ready to cut his head off.If you agree with the quoted statement, then I hope you also agreed with that classless article, or it would be hypocritical do otherwise. I hate Dallas as much as anybody, but this is a subject that I am willing to overlook team affiliation to analyze. If Ed Reed wanted to honor Taylor by wearing #21, I guarantee that this would have received a different response. We disagreed with that article because it attempted to tell the Redskins how to mourn and honor Sean Taylor. Let's not do the same thing as that writer when we hear about how these players wish to honor him. Every person has their own way of mourning, and let's leave it up to the individuals.

honeydont Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Wow that is a beautiful gesture on his part. I hope he levels the punt return man as a tribute to Sean. Really, a fine fine thing to do in honor of the late great one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 As I stated, I think this is a sincere effort to honor Sean's memory. And a good one.I guess what's really important, is how Sean's family, his teammates, and friends feels about it. If they don't have a problem with it, no reason for fans to have one with it.

I don't doubt the sincerity. In fact, I appreciate it. I just don't like the idea at all. I didn't like when Portis was going to do it. Let's MISS Sean. Let's remember that he's NOT out there. I don't ever want to see a 21 in our colors again. It just doesn't feel right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Rich Fla Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Wow, a lot of you need to chill the heck out. Roy and Sean were buddies from last pro bowl. Roy was the first guy campaigning for the cowpukes to wear something in honor of Taylor. Seriously, just relax. It's getting ridicolous with you guys. Either someone doesn't honor taylor enough or someone is going too far in honoring Taylor. They were friends, let him do as he likes. Did you personally know Taylor? Probably not. Roy Williams did and Portis did and it was portis' decision to not wear it but since Williams is going as Taylors replacement and because he was Taylor's friend, you aren't in any position to say whether or not he should do it or be allowed to do it.He is honoring Taylor in his own way. Give it a ****ing rest some of you. I'm with you bud! That's friggin cool. A cowbay paying the biggest honor . If you guys aren't careful, your ganna have some people on here liking............ahhhh nevermind. Good job anyway!:applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 LoL people dissing Roy Williams like him and Sean Taylor were blood and crips. Man I have no problem with this. Just because everybody thinks Roy is a dirty football player and he plays for a Cowboys doesn't mean he is a bad person. Actually he is pretty nice.

SKINS FAN #56 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I think it's really nice and for those of you comparing him to #21 (as much as I hate Roy), he's doing it in his memory...not so he can go out there and play like him... It's just a kind way to honor him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's MISS Sean. Let's remember that he's NOT out there. I don't ever want to see a 21 in our colors again. It just doesn't feel right to me. He wont be in our colors, he will be in the probowl colors, with his name on the back, just wearing number 21. This game isn't about the Redskins/Cowboy rivalry. This is about the best players in the NFL putting on an exhibition. Do people get mad during the pro bowl when Redskins players and Cowboys players are on the field at the same time? I am not saying you, but if people cannot understand "why" he is doing this, then I really cannot believe you have feelings inside your body, because this isn't about a rivalry to Williams, its about a lost friend.

He will be wearing the uniform that Taylor should be wearing while playing the position that Taylor should be playing, and that is what I disagree with. Put the sticker on your helmet, drop your ring finger, and that's it. Don't try and let the spirit of Sean Taylor lead you through the game, because it's insulting. I don't care that he happens to be a horrible safety who plays for the Cowboys. Nobody should be doing it. Again, I appreciate the gesture, but it's just not the right thing to do.
