He was gritty, he hit harder than anyone on both sides of the ball and was prone to entertaining melt-downs on the field (spitting in people's faces was a favourite past-time of his). He leaves behind a potentially brilliant career and will be tough for the Redskins to replace.

"It's hard to expect a man to grow up overnight," Portis said. "But ever since he had his child, it was like a new Sean, and everybody around here knew it. He was always smiling, always happy, always talking about his child."
There are also those who say one's life-style will determine their 'death-style'. It's just sad that a young life is gone now due to violence. I'd feel the same way about a stranger who did not play NFL or was not a celebrity. Needless death sucks.

Sean was an excellent Safety. When he hit someone you could really hear the pop. He missed a lot of tackles but knew how to go after the ball. Being that he was in the NFC East division I watched him often and knew he had fire on the field. I know he wasn't perfect but as a sports fan I just hate to see things like this happen. I know it happens all over the World too but I wish it wouldn't.
Is there a monster living under your bed?

Originally posted by darvlayI know about the artery, what I meant was, there were only two bullets fired from what I had read. Normally if someone is trying to kill you and have a few more bullets they might not be satisfied with just a bullet in the leg. They might go for a head shot of a few in the upper body. That was the only point. Sorry I didn't make it clear.
The Femoral Artery.
Look it up.
Lots of blood.

Originally posted by PhlabibitIt does sound like a thief, I was just wondering if the two events were tied together and if it was a warning of intent to do physical harm.

The Monster thing was me just thinking I don't ever want to sleep again wandering what kind of monster might attack in the night. 😲
