NFL ping.

The geography here is interesting. Sean Taylor was shot in Miami-Dade County, which is the southeastern-most tip of the Florida peninsula. Lee County is home to Fort Myers, which is about 160 mile drive from Miami, on the Gulf of Mexico side of the state.

Talk about trying to hide.

(Coincidentally, I’m in Fort Myers right now going to college. Huh.)

[subterfuge]

I figured they’d get them. It just makes sense that somebody knew who did it and talked due to their sympathy for the local guy who made good, but died. So somebody DID snitch. Good.

Investigators believe the young men learned of Taylor's house through someone who unwittingly set up the burglary by bragging about the football star's wealth.

I suppose if they thought he was playing football for the Redskins, he wouldn't be there during the season, and that might make it worth the long drive.

But I seriously doubt that they drove all that way just for a burglary. There will be more to the story, somehow.

[lapster]

As expected, we’re being told it was a random break-in by perps who didn’t realize Sean would be home on injury leave. As if anyone preparing to break into a pro football player’s home wouldn’t take a moment to check out his whereabouts. Yeah, sure. Can you say “Cover-up”?

There is still something about this that does not pass the smell test. Why would a bunch of burglars enter a home a week before and leave a weapon cueing off the resident (Taylor) to enhance securtiy etc in response and then return a week later to rob again knowing they have cued the resident (Who in my opinion should have seriously enhanced their own security at this point.) off to danger. Odd.

Hmmmm.

The distance tells me it wasn’t a ‘burglary’....it also tells me this is a stretch by the PD (no pun intended).

We’ll see.

[GOP Poet]

Hello? My sentiments exactly! Just too many details that don’t fit. Something else seems to be going on or the investigating detectives are the Keystone cops.

Thugs have been crossing the state for several years. I guess they figure they are less likely to get caught

I was just in Ft. Myers on a business trip Tuesday and Wednesday -- tried to watch the local news to get an inside/local perspective on the shootings, but instead found that the station I was watching preferred instead to lead the newscasts with another shooting angle -- someone is shooting iguanas with a crossbow. 5 + minutes of coverage and local reaction. Sadly, one iguana could not be saved.

i’ll bet these three are amish.

The perps haven’t been arrested yet, just detained for questioning. I think we have to wait and see how this develops.

Are you questioning the unquestionable heroism of the heroic Sean Taylor?

[lapster]

This whole thing stinks to the high heavens. I’m in the Washington area, and the media here are now savaging anyone who dares to say that Mr. Taylor might have had a shady past. Redskins are doing the same; to hear them talk, Sean should soon be up for sainthood. Methinks they protest too much. The cover-up is underway.

[Badeye]

I’m questioning everything about this incident.

[Pizonce11]

Hopefully people talked.

NFL PING

FReepmail scott says to be added to, or to be taken off the NFL Ping list...

This is a fairly high volume ping list

[khnyny]

It is odd, but crooks like this usually aren’t that bright (understatement).

Taylor apparently had a safe at the home which the perps were unable to access the first time around. Perhaps the safe and its contents were the draw for the second burglary.
