Bills can relate to Redskins' emotional situation

There are some events in life and in football that defy explanation.

Sure, we know how Sean Taylor (http://www.nfl.com/players/seantaylor/profile?id=TAY696860) was killed. The safety for the Washington Redskins (http://www.nfl.com/teams/washingtonredskins/profile?team=WAS) was shot during an invasion of his home.

Sure, we know how Kevin Everett (http://www.nfl.com/players/kevineverett/profile?id=EVE276484) suffered a spinal-cord injury that initially was thought to be life-threatening and left him temporarily paralyzed. The reserve tight end for the Buffalo Bills (http://www.nfl.com/teams/buffalobills/profile?team=BUF) was trying to make a tackle on a kickoff return.

But we'll never really know why different forms of tragedy struck these two young professional athletes and products of the University of Miami.

Taylor's family and friends, including many Redskins players, will try to make sense of his death. That is part of the grieving process, part of how people cope. However, like so many of us, they will struggle to arrive at any satisfactory answers, because what happened to Taylor should never happen to anyone.

Everett, who was injured during the Bills' Sept. 9 season opener against Denver, is recuperating in his hometown of Houston. He has made significant progress, regaining limited use of his legs, but still has a long way to go.................
