I got the text on my blackberry..... "Fred Taylor Released" and I just froze..... This was surely some sick joke that was being played on me..

I know that the heart, soul and the face of my football team wasn't going anywhere. I expected this news next year after a good season and after he had broken John Riggins and Jim Brown's rushing records, but it couldn't be happening this year... Not yet...

Jerry Porter and Drayton Florence were released last week, but that should have happened...... but not this

Freddy T still had the moves... The stutter step to get into in the open field, then he ran past defenders like a crack head with a $20 bill in his hand.

After 11 seasons, 2,428 carries for 11,271 yards and 62 rushing touchdowns... I can't do anything but salute you Fred.

I just don't know how I can watch you in another uniform.....
