The Excellent WKYS Sean Taylor Tribute

This is the 93.9 WKYS tribute to Sean Taylor. After all the 21 tributes that I saw and linked to last week, I really have no idea how I missed this one (hat tip to Mr. Irrelevant for bringing it to my attention), but better late than never. From the WKYS description of the tribute: [...]

Wednesday, December 3: The Sean Taylor Tribute Auction

I was going to write that last night — a tribute event concluding of the auction of Sean Taylor‘s vehicles — wrapped up the first year of mourning for the late Redskins safety. I was going to reference the tributes from last week and Sunday’s game, talk about closure, and allude to Judaic traditions regarding [...]

Redskins v. Giants – A Few More Sean Taylor Tributes

So there was the ceremony. There was the tribute edition of Gameday, the repainted midfield logo, and the locker, of course. And there was one other official tribute — the patches on the players’ jerseys. Coach Gibbs returned for the ceremony, and also took a few moments to share his thoughts on Taylor.

Redskins v. Giants – The Sean Taylor Ring of Fame Ceremony

Prior to today’s game, the Redskins inducted Sean Taylor to the team’s Ring of Fame at FedExField. The ceremony was a moving — if unusual — start to gameday. Taylor’s family, including his father Pete, mother Donna and his daughter Jackie, were brought to midfield and presented with plaques commemorating the occasion.

Redskins v. Giants – Remembering Sean Taylor

The ceremony inducting Sean Taylor into the Ring of Honor won’t start for a bit yet, but that’s far from the only memorial at today’s game. The midfield logo has been replaced with a 21. Today’s Gameday program is a “Special Tribute to Sean Taylor” edition, pictured after the jump.

Two Reminders For Sunday’s Game

Two things to remember if you’re going to Sunday’s game. First, on Sunday the U.S. Marine Corps will be collecting toys for the 2008 Toys For Tots campaign, so bring a new and unwrapped toy with you. Collection starts at 11:00 a.m. at all stadium gates. Second, of course, is that the Sean Taylor memorial [...]

Coach Zorn on Sean Taylor

Many of the players have been asked for their thoughts on the loss of Sean Taylor — Mike Wise has an excellent interview with Clinton Portis about it — but I hadn’t heard much from Coach Zorn on the subject. Last year, Joe Gibbs and Gregg Williams were so much a part of helping the [...]

Sean Taylor Memorial Details

Tomorrow marks the one-year anniversary of the tragic death of Sean Taylor, and, as you’d expect, many people have been asking about ways to properly memorialize him. Personal memorials are already out there — Eric Espada, who photographed Taylor throughout his career, has put together an excellent montage, and Chris Louis wrote (and performed, and [...]

Sean Taylor’s Vehicles Up For Memorial Auction

We’re approaching the one-year anniversary of Sean Taylor’s tragic passing. The ESPN stories that were posted on the dot-com last week make up the cover of the print version of The Magazine this week. Many of the media members here at Redskins Park have been building their memorial stories over the last few weeks, presumably [...]
