This being Dan Snyder, I'm surprised they don't have an inkjet-printed picture of Taylor scotch-taped to the glass.

What the f*ck? That pile of garbage is their "memorial" to Sean Taylor? That's the best they could do? It makes the terrible busts and statues seem respectable.

"Weren't we supposed to take care of something by the end of the week? I remember an email of something from a few months ago... oh crap! The Taylor display! Quick! Get with the equipment guys and work something up! Now!"

they got it exactly right according to his daughter

At least one aspect of the criticism was unfair. It was assumed that the Commanders had soccer cleats on the mannequin out of carelessness, but Taylor's daughter said the footwear is her favorite part of the memorial. She told reporters that wearing soccer cleats is "something that was super special to (Taylor) and something that he chose to do."

That comment was about the jersey. The NFL used exclusively Reebok Jerseys during Taylor's entire career (prior to 2002 each team had their own providers, from 2002 through 2011 the NFL used Reebok, and since 2012 they have used Nike.

Cleats are a different story since players can select their brand.

It's kind of a moot point, since men can never find it anyhow.
