I could understand getting upset as your typical road rage, but stabbing someone? That's crazy.

on the other hand, maybe it was an UDFA just trying to show that he would be an addition who could have chemistry with the 2006 Dolphins team.

Knife or no knife, there's no way I would consider physically assaulting Jason Taylor. I wouldn't use anything less than a howitzer.

Re: In Rival news: Jason Taylor stabbed.

Yeah seems like it was a hate crime because he's a black guy married to a white woman according to the article. Not that it matters, but isn't taylor mixed?

Yes. Here are some more details about the incident:

Taylor was then driving behind the truck, which was traveling at 10 miles per hour, when he tried to pass on the left. As Taylor passed, the truck intentionally swerved toward him, causing his car to run off the road.

The truck and Taylor's car stopped at Southwest 130th Avenue and Eighth Street. The report states an unidentified passenger in the truck then got out and banged on Taylor's car trunk.

Burns, who was driving the truck, also emerged and used racial obscenities and threatened to kill Taylor. The 5-11, 168-pound Burns then retrieved an unknown metal object from his truck and tried to stab the 6-6, 255-pound Taylor, the report said.

As he backed away from Burns, Taylor was cut on his left forearm.

Taylor drove after the truck, calling 911 in the process, after it fled but lost site of the vehicle inside a trailer park. Taylor later identified Burns from a photo lineup, leading to his apprehension at a trailer in the 13200 block of SW 7th Place.

During the arrest, Burns kicked and punched an officer and later kicked at a window in a police car until being pepper-sprayed by officers, the report said.

Besides the battery charge, the 24-year-old Burns also was arrested for resisting with and without violence. The truck passenger was not charged.

Taylor declined further comment on the incident.

In December 2003, Taylor was identified by the FBI as being one of six active or retired professional athletes to receive a hate letter threatening him with physical harm for being married to a white woman. An FBI spokesman said similar letters were sent to prominent black politicians, entertainers and business leaders in a two-year span.

Too bad there wasn't a COPS camera crew around, it had the makings of a classic episode. 5'8 168 pound threatening to kill someone who is 6'6" 235, lol. Really glad that him and his wife were okay.
