Andy Garcia says Taylor saved his niece's life ...

Actor Andy Garcia hailed his niece's slain boyfriend, NFL star Sean Taylor, as a ''free safety until the end'' who showed bravery in the last moments of his life to protect his family.

Garcia is the uncle of Jackie Garcia, Taylor's girlfriend, who was in the house when Taylor was shot Monday morning, and who hid under the sheets with the couple's 18-month old baby when Taylor confronted his killer. Garcia and her family have kept quiet, declining to speak to the media.

Their silence was broken by Andy, who spoke highly of Taylor.

''His heroic action on that tragic night saved their life and is a testament to his humanity and courage,'' Garcia said in his statement, which was provided to The Miami Herald through his manager, Joanne Colonna. ``His spirit will live forever, in our hearts and through the legacy of his achievements and the family he leaves behind.''

Garcia and Taylor met at Gulliver Prep School, an exclusive school in Miami-Dade county where Taylor shone on the field as a young man, leading the school to a state championship. Garcia was a successful soccer player.

The couple attended the University of Miami together and had their first child last year, also named Jackie.

''Sean was known to many as an extraordinary athlete and unquestionable teammate,'' Garcia said. ``To those of us who had the good fortune to count him as a member of our extended family, we will always remember him as a caring and loving individual especially to his new family, his precious daughter Jackie and to the love of his life and mother to his child my niece Jacqueline.''

 

Now that I think about it, you're right. I'm here to offer help, but I'll be damned if I'm going to inconvenience myself in the process. That 10-year-old kid is just going to have to start punching his dad back. It's not my problem.

 

Responding to child abuse is one thing.

Pulling people up the ladder of success is . . . not even remotely in the same ballpark.

Stick to apples vs. apples. Not apples vs. lugnuts.

 

Whitlock sure took Jemele Hill's advice:

The Black KKK... Holy Shit!


I look forward to Fenian telling Whitlock what he doesn't understand about black men.

 

Holy shit is right. Whitlock unleashed the fastball there.

 

His empty SUV was shot up. And the story that he threatened a person with a gun is bogus, if you listen to his lawyer. He pleaded no contest to misdemeanor assault and battery charges but never was convicted of pointing a gun at anyone.

So that's Taylor's supposed big history with gun violence. The guy wasn't exactly Omar Little. And sadly, he didn't even have one on the night he was killed.

By the way, Miami police are saying there is no evidence yet that Taylor was specifically targeted.

i've been out all day. my take on sean taylor is this: if you need to sleep with a machete by your bed and have the bucks to do so, you need to change where you live.

case effin' closed.

relocation, relocation, relocation.

p.s. -- so many questions: this home didn't have an alarm in direct contact with the police? if you have no gun, why don't you just hide under the bed? shit, a gun beats a knife, no matter how big, every time, no? don't give me that crap about a gun jamming. you don't go into an armed robbery with a gun that doesn't work.

i don't give a man what the cops are saying until they arrest someone. i don't buy for a second that this was "random."

 

There are 7 billion people in the world.

I would trust what the other 6,999,999,999 had to say before I would "listen to his lawyer."

 

Exactly, BTE.
