Lawrence Taylor reactions

Please is this guy the second coming of Christ. Everybody makes mistakes. LT has made his fairshare. The only thing that disturbs me about this is why not just get a highend babe. LT has got pleanty of scratch should have called a high end escort service no fuss no muss.Maybe he did and this is what he got.IMO the only thing LT is guilty of is being cheap.In my eyes LT is the greatest defensive player the NFL has ever seen and im proud that he was a NY Giant. Good luck beating the rap LT.

I started supporting the Giants in 1982 and the reason for that was LT.

We turn our favourite players into gods but in reality they are only human.

We all are saying he is married, she was a pro and finally she was only 15.

Well LT is a human and we all know married man who have had affairs, go to strip clubs and have sex with a pro. We also know that older men like to date younger women (although not underage).

We all are aware that LT was a troubled man who lived on the edge both on and off the field. We are therefore both shocked because she was 16 but not surprised that he was with a Pro.

He is and always will be on a pedestal for his playing career, but I am not aware that he was ever held out to be the role model to follow – in fact the opposite!

So whatever happens to him over this incident and anything in the future will not take away my memory of LT the player.

LT stays in. I’m sorry, but sex with a 16 year old isn’t even in the same stratosphere – it’s not even in the same universe – as brutally murdering two people. I know, I know – “not guilty” – of course, there’s this

but that’s it. I never knew the man, only through the media and how he is portrayed there. Even if I did meet the man. 1 time is not like being his friend. He’s no hero, by any means – a human being; Yes. He is an amazing athlete and an incredible football legend. That’s all he is to me. The rest of this stuff on him, well, it’s just plain unfortunate for him. For me, I’ll go on hoping things work out for him – if it doesn’t go well, then he’ll get what he deserves (hopefully no more or no less…but that’s in an ideal world). So, suffice to say, he’ll prob. get more so, just b/c of his stature.

I came of age as a Giants fan during the LT/Parcells/Simms era. Was there as a huge fan for both SB’s. And like many of you (I would guess), LT was my absolute favorite player – both at the time and looking back and reminiscing.

Clearly the most exciting athlete I’ve ever seen play live, on Tv, anywhere. Ferocious. And I was willing to look the other way or even romanticize as badass that some of his ferocity came from drug use – after all it was coke and maybe amphetemine/uppers – not steroids (do we know?). And I’ve been disappointed in his troubles of the past, but I’ve always found them just below the threshold of going beyond what I’d somewhat defend by justifying, “It’s a shame. He’s troubled. He has addiction issues (disease).”

But this crosses the line. I withhold final judgment in case some kind of explanation comes out that this was a set-up, or that LT had all assurances that this girl was of age, willing and enthusiastic. Even then, this is sordid. (I haven’t seen a picture of what this girl looks like but if she looks like a young 16 this is truly sordid). But this looks like something even worse. The girl had a fresh black eye. LT was so concerned about stating that he didn’t hit her. As if it’s totally ok that the pimp beat her into this and not LT. This appears to have been an UNWILLING, UNDERAGE 16 yo girl forced into this. How can anyone defend this as even anything close to OK?

Sadly I can’t wear the 56 again.

Its funny how every one has written LT off. These allegations against LT are filled with questions and inconsistencies of fact that can’t be explained away with simple logic. The fact that Marvell Scott is dealing with a situation that is strikingly similar to LT’s is also reason enough to take LT’s situation with a grain of salt. Whether you like the man or not is not evidence that he committed this “crime.”

This entire occurrence has killed LT’s character. He will lose thousands (perhaps millions) of dollars as a result; even if he is found innocent. His character has been assassinated as well as his livelihood b/c a bunch of ill-informed have taken a shoty story and ran with it. Our judicial system takes a serious hit when this happens. It is not our place to judge LT in this matter. only the all powerful can do that and believe me, through our judicial system, he will.

Hey says he goes to strip clubs pretty much every day, unfortunately if true it doesnt surprise me. I have a feeling this is going to be in the news for a long time and it should be too long before this story gets scrutinized by everybody to the point where its beating a dead horse. I hope some other REAL giants new happens soon so I dont have to read about this for the next couple months.

is reading posts from this on the raido right now.

LT’s lawyer will be in studio with Mike Francesa at 1:05 PM. THAT will be an interesting listen.

But it appears that even countless golf rounds can’t tame the crazed dog…

was really an ex-Cowboy or Redskin, getting payback at LT for all the times he sent hookers to their rooms the night before a game…

I’m old enough but no light bulb is going off….

not for nothing, but i can’t blame LT on that one…..who did this guy think he was? “F U” to LT because he didn’t want to talk to the media??…chasing him down and heckling him? getting in his face and point your finger at him???

not for nothing but he’s lucky LT didn’t break his face w/ one punch…b/c that’s what he deserved

I like Ernie P and all but man that’s an epic FAIL and the fact that he wants to use that story to throw dirt on the man seems sophomoric…he’s already been accused of rape for goodness sake…..

I find it funny that he said he was gonna punch LT….he would have only made things worse….

the fact that LT apologized to him and gave him a jacket seemed pretty stand up….oh well, clearly seems that Ernie P got it out for LT….

From a legal stand point, but LT’s accuser reportedly claimed she was 19.

I am disgusted with LT, no matter HOW this shakes down, unless it was an unimaginable frame-up.
I’m one of those guys that thinks that Bonds, Clemens, A-Rod, Manny, McGwire should all be taken out of the Hall of Fame and record books.
They cheated the game.
LT didn’t really cheat the game. What he just did has no bearing. He was voted in after the coke suspensions, etc., and should remain in the Hall.
What he’s lost is that he can now never be honored, celebrated, respected by most Giants fans, or at the stadium. Hall, yes. Love, no.

This is the player I wanted to be. He’s why I wore 56 on my jersey. He was a hero to me, right or wrong. I looked past all the drug issues. I was even willing to dismiss that whole hit and run incident. But this is truly the straw that breaks the camel’s back. I truly can’t express how disheartened I am.

 The Luis Polonia case back in 1989? It sounds similar. The girl lied about her age, she was 15 and said she was 18. He pleaded no contest and served half of a 60 day sentence. I don’t think she was a prostitute though. And Polonia likely had no prior convictions, which will work against LT big time here. I’ll bet he’d take 30 days in a heartbeat if that was offered.
 Ernie P. sounds like was was a real tool that day. But maybe LT treated him like crap for years and he got fed up. Ernie was lucky LT didn’t really snap after being challenged like that though. LT can do a lot of damage pretty quickly. Right Joe Theisman?

I don’t know about all the particulars of the case and the intricacies of the New York legal system to say whether or not L T is guilty. I can say however, that he is clearly guilty of using bad judgment ( obvious statement of the year I know ). At 51 years old it shouldn’t be about whether or not she is 16 or 18 or in New Jersey or wherever. During his NFL days and the ten or so years after he retired it was about booze, drugs, hookers and having fun, right? He did all that because he was Lawrence Taylor. Now, because he’s Lawrence Taylor, should be the same reason why he shouldn’t be doing any of that.

Question is when I go watch the Giants play the Seahawks this year in Seattle should I wear the 86 Spider Taylor jersey or my new Tuck jersey…

after reading the referenced article about Ernie Palladino’s confrontation with a retired LT, where he proudly describes aggressively provoking, harassing, verbally abusing LT with no provocation, I will never read another word that he writes. He is totally classless thinking that it makes a good story telling us all how he totally disrespected and provoked a private individual who asked to be left alone.
His story should have been an extremely apologetic story describing the unwarranted behavior that he subjected LT to, and a recognition that if he had been bitch slapped it could have been an appropriate response from LT. Instead LT had a patient reaction that very few men would be able to control.
Instead of being ashamed and apologetic, Mr Palladino tries to make himself look like a brave man and he believes himself someone to be admired.
I will from now on boycott Ernie Palladino and any publication that he writes for as I have absolutely no respect for such behaviour and unapologetic attitude. And his extremely unfair second unprovoked attack by posting this now, when LT is facing so much public scrutiny.

Shame shame shame on you Ernie Palladino.
