praise_gibbs Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 As I understand it, Seans family will be in attendance for the pregame ceremony of Sean's induction into the Redskin Ring of Fame. As hard as it is to deal with the loss of our favorite safety, it is even more difficult for Sean's family. We lost a tremendous football player. They lost a tremendous son, brother, grandson, husband, and father. Those are just a small amount of titles that Sean possessed. His presence was felt all around and will be missed by all. I just feel for his family. I hereby request that Taylor's family receive a standing ovation the size of Art's in Canton. Let's show his family that we are behind them as they continue to try and find a way to cope with this loss. Pedro, Jackie, Jackie, Donna, amongst a few others I am sure, deserve nothing less, IMO.

Capt. Kaos Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 :applause::applause::applause::applause::applause: I can guarantee that there will be 3 standing in 423! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMeast Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I don't think there is any doubt this will happen. :gaintsuck HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorresA Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 wish i could be there in person... so much i checked train tickets to DC today, but $200 each way was little too rich for my blood (plane was twice that). Be loud and long... The standing Ovation for Monk was incredible thing to witness and be a part of. I would love to see it topped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackest Eyes Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I will be pretty disappointed if they do not get an enormous ovation. They absolutely deserve to know how highly we though and still think of Sean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy&Gold4Ever Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Good post! I'm sure that the fans at the game will give Sean's family tremendous love and support. You're right that the ovation should be at least as long and loud as the one that Art got. PG, since it didn't work out for me to attend the game with you, will you please give a few cheers on my behalf? I'll probably be applauding them and cheering at my computer screen while watching the live stream, but the family obviously won't feel that support.

SonOfWashington Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 While I don't think we'll ever see a Monk-sized ovation again (I was in it ), i have no doubt that they will get the warmest welcome imaginable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reic Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 If I don't make it to the game, you can be sure I will be giving a standing ovation from my living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Well, I might have sometimes been disappointed with our fans and their actions before and during some of the nationally televised games, I have no doubt that everyone will come through and represent our fanbase's love of ST this Sunday. I will be watching the ceremony from home and can only hope our fanbase can live up to their billing as some of the best fans in football and show ST's family how much we love and miss ST and will do what we can to ensure that his daughter will be taken care of.

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 EXCELLENT call PG. :applause::applause::applause::applause::applause: It may well not be as long as Arts, that was just a phenomenal show of respect that would take some matching, but I'm sure it will be equally as heartfelt and appreciated by everyone in the Taylor family. Again, EXCELLENT call PG. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praise_gibbs Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 PG, since it didn't work out for me to attend the game with you, will you please give a few cheers on my behalf? I was priviledge enough to attend Canton and was in the crowd during Art's 4 minute ovation. I will sure be loud and proud in section 450 showing the respect that Taylors family deserves! I'll certainly give tons of cheers for the folks who can not attend this game. Much like I did at the HOF ceremony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jofizz Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Well, a large number Redskins fans will be too busy seeing how many beers they can shotgun before entering the stadium, missing half of the first quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praise_gibbs Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Well, a large number Redskins fans will be too busy seeing how many beers they can shotgun before entering the stadium, missing half of the first quarter. While I do think this is the case during most games. It wasn't an issue for the Bills game last year. And I don't forsee this being an issue this Sunday. Some things are much bigger than football. This Sunday is one of them. I fully expect Redskin nation to be in their seats in time for the ceremony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

professor21 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I won't be at the game, but i'll cheer so loud that my neighbors will wonder what is wrong with that kid in Apartment 1! even after a year has passed reading all these threads gets me a little choked up and red-eyed, feels like (God-forbid) i lost my blood-related brother. Let's rip these Giants apart, here's to a good game to honor our dear departed friend and his family, win or lose (hopefully the former) :gaintsuck:gaintsuck:gaintsuck:gaintsuck:gaintsuck:gaintsuck:gaintsuck:gaintsuck:gaintsuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

estrella117 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 you will have 6 of us if not more standing in 408 believe that! I stand almost all game long anyway. This is going to be an emotional rolercoaster ride like it was last year this time I think the skins are ready to get a win for him this time.

D'KanSkinFan Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I have no doubt that there won't be a standing ovation~ especially from the faithful Redskin Nation~ You will hear us from the "unofficial Wichita, Kansas Washington Redskin Headquarters" throughout the whole event and game Team: It is UP to us to Cheer, it's up to you to WIN :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spear Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 It's appropriate to give Sean a standing ovation, not his still-grieving family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy&Gold4Ever Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 It's appropriate to give Sean a standing ovation, not his still-grieving family. Why do you think the grieving family shouldn't get a standing ovation? It's a way to say that we admire and respect your father/brother/son immensely and that means we support you (the family). Most of Redskins Nation would love to scoop little Jackie in their arms and give her a huge hug (if she would want that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
