Tomorrow is the 2010 NFL Pro Bowl or what most people like to call, "a bonafide snooze-fest featuring Chad OchoCinco".
However, there is still one singular moment from Pro Bowl History and that is former Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor provided the hit that shook Hawaii.
Way back in 2007, Taylor was selected as an alternate for the NFC safety slot and got the start when then Eagles safety Brian Dawkins chose not to play due to injury.
Early on in the game, Colts receiver Reggie Wayne decided to duck out of Sean Taylor's way when trying to go after a pass. I think that ended up being a good decision on his part.
Later in the 3rd quarter, Buffalo Bills punter Brian Moorman decided to try and get the first down on a fake punt run.
Then this happened......
Man, that was nasty. The added benefit was hearing the NHK commentators from Japan call of the play and the collective groan of pain from the CBS announcing team of Greg Gumbel, Dan Dierdorf and Phil Simms when the hit happened. It's rare to hear a collective groan and "ohhh!" from a crowd and Sean Taylor got that. Gumble's line going to break was a classic line, "Whether it was decision or not, guess what, it was a bad choice."
When most players treated the Pro Bowl like a day to soak in the sun, Sean Taylor didn't stop playing his hardest. That was honestly the last moment that most of us remember Sean Taylor for. Taylor was killed in November 2007 when he shot as his home.
R.I.P Sean, we still can't forget this hit.
