Sean Taylor Is In the Ground

End of line

Sean Taylor was honored at his funeral today, held in the 6000 seat arena at Florida International University. The entire Redskins team plus many other football players past and present were there along with family and friends. The event was open to the public.

Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post left the game yesterday and went straight to Miami. He and sports editor Cindy Boren were blogging about the event all day at Redskins Insider.

It was by all accounts a wonderful event honoring a talented and popular young man.
