Lawrence Taylor arrested in South Florida

I've asked this a hundred times: when are pro athletes and former pro athletes going to learn to stay out of South 1108_taylor_mediumFlorida? Nothing good ever happens to pro athletes down here, this place is the vortex of pro athlete hell.

Add my favorite all-time Giant to the list of people who don't listen to me:

From the NY Post: (click link for full story)

Former Giants great Lawrence Taylor was busted last night in Florida for taking off after he was involved in a car accident, authorities said.

The 50-year-old NFL Hall of Famer was arrested in Dade County for "leaving the scene of accident/property damage," shortly before 10 p.m., Florida officials told The Post.

Taylor, who played his entire career with Big Blue and won two Super Bowls, was quickly released on $500 bond.

I sincerely hope this is all a big misunderstanding, because like I said, he's my favorite, and always will be, and blindly or otherwise, I'll always give him the benefit of the doubt.

Lastly, thanks to mrs. jrs1940 for texting this to me on my way to work this morning. (mugshot courtesy of TMZ.com)

Oh no

I hope your right Jim … hopefully he just hit someone’s bumper, thought it was no big deal, and moved on. Man, when it rains it pours.

Yeah, hope this is something minor

A fender-bender, a mailbox or a ding in someones door. LT being released on just $500 could indicate it was minor?!

Perhaps LT was out drowning his sorrows because he can no longer help the Giants in the area where they need it most?

If these guys had LT and Strahan?

even now? …damn.

I mean Tuck has the talent, but he just doesn’t seem to have the injury luck (or also the strength to pick up and throw Jon Runyan to the ground….damn Strah was a beast….)

DO WHAT JERRY HAIRSTON DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gosh I hate to hear this kind of news about LT..

I certainly hope he didn’t do anything stupid…again..My all-time favorite defensive monster..He seemed to have gotten over the public dumbness in recent years..Maybe Parcells needs to reel him in again, like he has before…and feed him beans..Parcells loves that guy.

I wonder if he was

hiding a softball sized ball of crack behind his back at the time.

Seriously though, not good for LT.

by brisulph on Nov 9, 2009 9:23 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

I hope

he wasn’t drunk and had just killed someone before he fled the scene. If that was the case, he could be looking at like a 26-day sentence.

You play to win the game!

by Simms-McConkey on Nov 9, 2009 11:21 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

You are too lenient

He deserves about a 32 day sentence if that is the case.

by brisulph on Nov 9, 2009 11:51 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

The sad part is, he would probably get something around that.

LT

I hope it’s nothing major, atleast he stayed out of the negative headlines for quite sometime but you can’t help but show love for a man who played every game like it was his last game.

check out his bloodshot eyes

classic LT! And he’s smiling. haha.

LT

Come back and help our Giants, We are in desperate need of your style of play.
Dam, Time flies, those were the good old days. LT, Harry Carson Etc.

Be good and stay out of trouble, Guy

Last time he got arrested

it was here where I live (Myrtle Beach, SC). I found that special. I was a kid when he was tearing apart offenses, and wearing 56 during my Pop Warner days was the biggest thrill. LT, c’mon man. I thought we were passed this nonsense.

Yea florida,

I live in Tampa, a kernel of sanity surrounded by paint huffing, banjo picking, amateur herpetologists, up the road they fired a teacher for “wizardry”
http://www.wtsp.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=79533

down the road, a marine attacks a Greek priest because he’s a “terrorist”
http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/tampa-police-marine-reservist-attacked-greek-priest-he-mistook-for/1050707

It’s all good down here.

Conan!, What is good in Football?!

Daa.... to run between the tackles,
To drive the linebackers before you,
And to hear the lamentations of the cheerleaders.
