And then the same story and a blurb about Fred Taylor being arrested. Sorry it's TMZ, I know I know.

Thought and prayers for Collier and his family.

Mods, Merge this if it's already been posted.

Thoughts and prayers for sure.

That said, will they ever learn? I know it's a free country and the bill of rights guarantees the persuit of happiness. But the average NFL career pays millions and is generally over before your're 30 something. Why risk it for any reason?

Goodell would be better served to institute a league wide curfew. That wouldn't have saved Jason Taylor though, so perhaps in addition, rather than focusing on expanding his product world wide, Roger should consider increasing the size of practice squads to 53, quadrupling their pay and arming them and assigning them to guard the 53 on the active rosters 24/7. His approach to cleaning up the league ignores the fact that we live in an increasingly ramdomly violent society.

Nothing good ever happens after midnight. It's certainly not Collier's fault that he was shot...just sounds like the wrong place at the wrong time. I hope he makes it.

You mean Sean Taylor, yes?
