Buchanon's brush with death

Following the shooting death of Redskins safety Sean Taylor, ESPN will take a look at the issue of athlete safety on Outside the Lines on Sunday morning.

I got a heads up that one of the athletes featured will be Bucs cornerback Phillip Buchanon. He once told me this story of being held at gunpoint in a home invasion a couple years ago before joining the Bucs, but he appears to go into more detail in this interview based on the clip you can view by clicking here (download the video and it should then automatically pop up in your media player of choice). The whole ordeal lasted more than an hour as seven men terrorized Buchanon and a friend and cleaned out his house of all his valuables. Pretty scary stuff.

Anyway, if you're interested, the show airs Sunday at 9:30 a.m.
