I have an LT story. In the 90s, I met LT in a halfway house in Trenton visiting someone who was rehabbing. I was 12 or 13 at the time. I'll never forget seeing LT walk in the door. He was the biggest human being I had ever seen. He eventually sat down and played spades with us and got mad when we won. Than he took everyone out to go bowling. I was so mad my mom made me go home . I have his autograph framed from that night. I'll never forgot it.
@@ChauncyCharm honestly dude is more than likely telling the truth. People forget that celebs are just people and you can potentially run into one in the most random of places. Hell even I ran into a celebrity not too long ago at the most random of places
Two other things about LT. 1. He was in the game Blitz the League where he played the main antagonist Quentin Sands. He also later appeared in the games sequel. 2. He competed in the main event of Wrestlemania 11 in 1995. Coincidentally, this is considered one of the worst Wrestlemanias ever.
Greatest football player I've ever seen. The stories from teammates and coaches are insane. Falling asleep in meetings and waking up to correct Belichick etc.
Great video. I felt bad for Lawrence Taylor when I spotted him at Universal Studios theme park ten or twelve years ago. He and his entourage were shuttled around and entered rides through side doors to avoid the wait. He was obviously unhealthy and overweight, needing a cane to walk. I hope he's cleaner, better now.
@@titaniumismagical8643 good, down to earth people don’t do the horrific shit he did. Don’t pretend like he’s not a bad guy just because he’s an athlete you like, that’s just wrong.
@@colin6603 I met him. He didn't act like he was better than anyone else. He got hooked on crack, resulting in a DWI and a couple of stupid things resulting from it....You make it sound like he stole and he beat people up, and was this terrible guy. He wasn't....LOL
LT was also in a WrestleMania match against Bam Bam Bigelow who was a really really large fellow, he actually held his own in the match and won, the crazy part? It was the Main Event of WrestleMania 11. Lawrence Taylor main evented a WrestleMania before Shawn Michaels, life is weird.
He was also a color commentator on the FX "Toughman" series, and got into a (maybe worked, maybe shoot) feud with one of the contestants, "Hardbody" Harrison. And when he crossed the picket line in 1987, he pulled double duty as a tight end for the Scab Giants. Regardless of all his extracurriculars, I will go to my grave believing LT was the greatest football player ever.
Oddly enough I’ve worked with LT’s company, Metro Solutions. I went to a meeting with them and it was like a 1986 Super Bowl reunion. Mark Bavaro, Otis Anderson were all there. LT seems to cleaned up and his business is doing well.
LT personally allowed me and my buddy to enter his nightclub LTs on RT 17 in East Rutherford. We were only 19. Unsurprisingly the nightclub shut down not long after that. Coca cazy nightclub. Delicious hamburgers though!
Dick butkus disagrees. That man is in the same air as LT. Entire offenses feared him. Butkus made defensive player of the year on the team that went 1-13. LT never did that. Quarterback sacks were not recorded in butkus era, but I think he would have ranked pretty well on the game per game basis with LT.
@@paysonfox88 he may be in the same ballpark but he’s not better. The entire league feared LT and his ability to do anything on the defensive side. Butkus is a legend, but LT is the greatest.
As a non-giants fan I’ve always said this dude’s the GOAT, period. You can argue a handful of others but it’s slim. Never knew Hollywood Henderson was LT’s hero, pretty crazy!
I’m an Eagles fan and have been watching football for over 45 years. I would pick Taylor #1 over everyone all time, with the exception of maybe Jim Brown; but I never saw brown play- only heard the stories and watched the highlights. To my dismay in the 80s- because I hated… and still do, the NY giants- Taylor was the greatest thing I had ever witnessed on a football field. Still is.
I’ve heard other people say the same thing about being wild out of sport leading to dominance in sport when speaking about Mike Tyson and Jon Jones. It honestly makes a good amount of sense
Damn right it makes sense..mfkas like that are gifted human beings, killing machines, and etc. Drugs are probably the only outlets for them to be at peace.
I remember going to the last game of the year against the Dolphins. Taylor got hurt on the last play of the game. We were in traffic leaving the stadium, and all the sports announcers were questioning if he would be able to play in the next playoff game. We stopped at his bar (The Bench) to have a few beers. He came in about a half hour later and bought everyone a drink, and he started dancing behind the bar with the go go girls...I knew he wasn't hurt, but all week long they were still questioning if he would play in the next playoff game...He did. I'm a trucker, and I worked out of Saddlebrook NJ. One day I left the terminal, and saw an abandoned expensive Lexus that was on Interstate 80. The state troopers were at the scene...The following day they wrote in the newspaper that LT got charged for leaving the scene. The car didn't look damaged, and I was wondering who would leave an expensive looking car like that on the side of highway.
LT was the greatest defensive player that I have ever seen in the NFL but he was so damn lucky that social media weren't out when he was playing in the NFL and this is coming from a Cowboys fan
I mean he did Play in the crack/Cocaine Era. Crack was looked at like how Weed is looked at now plus he Played in a State we’re crack and Cocaine was everywhere doing the time
Unfortunately, whatever it is within the personality and physical gifts of Lawrence Taylor that allowed for him to succeed on the football field has been his biggest self destructive force. Fans don’t really care about these players as people. Once LT stopped sacking quarterbacks, he quickly gets ignored by the fans with the occasional standing ovation for a reunion on the field before a game or when fans watch his hi-lights from years ago. He is not the only one, but is one of the most prolific players to struggle in life.
My only complain is that you didn't include "Smoke weed every day" as a sound bite. I mean, given LT's colorful lifestyle, who's to say he hasn't?! Nice video.
No mention of his incredible supporting role next to JCVD in 2003's "In Hell?" I guess coming in under 11:00 minutes was more important than LT's contribution to the arts.
I appreciate LT’s contributions to the Giants. We wouldn’t have won those Super Bowls without him. But his actions outside the game are the reasons I will never buy a 56 jersey or seek his autograph.
It's actually insane to think about how the unanimous best defensive player of all time could have easily been even better if he stayed clean. Like, imagine if it turned out this entire time that Tom Brady could actually run a 4.7 40, he was just really lazy and didn't want to.
Cmon man does the guy making this video know dope??? An ounce a day he said LT doing!!! Nobody can do an ounce a day! An 8ball ok…And fr I don’t blame him…I’d a been doing an 8ball daily too
I was not aware of any of the off the field stuff with Lawrence Taylor besides the cocaine one. I do remember hearing about him being an avid user of cocaine and actually being on the drug on the field. But that stuff after he retired damn that's crazy and well I think it is really disgusting that he paid a 16 year old prostitute not just because I mean prostitution is illegal anyways and frowned upon, but obviously the main reason because she's under age which I'm sure he was being truthful when he said that she told him that she was 19, but he just was clearly not thinking there. Typically you can tell an underage girl when you see one. It's pretty easy to tell one compared to someone who's over the age of 18 unless the underage girl is like 17 or something. Then again if there's any women younger than me that I'm into they're going to be in their twenties or their early thirties. My wife for example was just a year younger than me. But actually what was the biggest shocker was that Lawrence Taylor this badass powerhouse was the victim of domestic abuse? I mean considering what happened recently with the Johnny Depp trial that shouldn't surprise me since that was obvious proof that women can be abusers and men can be abused, and speaking of which that stock clip of that very friendly woman who could be portraying a prostitute for some reason looks like Amber Heard which just made me think wow that's something I guess she can do now since she's being blacklisted by Hollywood for being a horrible human being, but any man who realizes it's her is just going to be like oh hell no I'm not doing this, unless they just aren't thinking clearly or just don't care. Okay this went a lot longer than I meant to. But the reason why is just cuz your video gave me so much to say.

Well that obviously never happened.

He had talent for sure but how much of that came from ingesting all that cocaine. That shit can make anyone into a wild man.
He wasn’t a force for good or a force for evil; he was just a force.
I don’t know, being a pedophile sounds like a force for evil
@@TheToad075 Not really his fault though. girl lied about her age, how was he supposed to know?
@@harryasmith527 you making excuses for him is gross man. Anyone with eyes can tell that girl was way too young. What’s wrong with you?

I went to universal studios this past April
Last time I was this early Joe Thiesmann still had two working legs...

I learned a lot about LT after seeing him as Quentin Sands in the Blitz the League games. Legendary linebacker all around.
Legendary on the field but off the field is a terrible person, future resident of the the lake of fire.

It's probably good that he played at 75% or else half the NFL would be injured
I would venture to say he’d have a 25% increase in stats 🤷🏼♂️
LT was also in a WrestleMania match against Bam Bam Bigelow who was a really really large fellow, he actually held his own in the match and won, the crazy part? It was the Main Event of WrestleMania 11. Lawrence Taylor main evented a WrestleMania before Shawn Michaels, life is weird.
I remember Royal Rumble that year set up the event by having LT at ringside. I thought the fued was real 😂
LT was paid in nose candy!!
Thats true did movies and commercials as well
He was also a color commentator on the FX "Toughman" series, and got into a (maybe worked, maybe shoot) feud with one of the contestants, "Hardbody" Harrison.
And when he crossed the picket line in 1987, he pulled double duty as a tight end for the Scab Giants.

Yeah. On the worst wrestlemania of all time.

I was there too, he also owned The Bench. He was a down to earth type guy.
"Arguably the best defensive player of all-time?" No, no, no. THE best defensive player off all-time. Period. Sorry, I had to. Lol
I still think LTs the best, but Aaron Donald's starting to creep into that conversation now
I'd take Reggie white over Taylor. Harder to block and wasn't a headcase
Absolutely not. The crack smoking before games absolutely invalidates him from being the greatest.
@@SonOfSkyrim22 u know who didn't smoke crack before his games and still played better? Reggie white
@@SonOfSkyrim22 the crack made him play that way? Duh

Imagine trying to guard a coked up LT in his prime
That's like approaching a Tiger with meat tied around your chest
Right that’s not 75% LT cocaine will help u win
LT is a survivor. Respect for a fellow contrarian, and for FPV too, for making this! Great video!
He has made other people survivors of his terrible crimes. Absolute scumbag.

Been waiting for this video since I started watching you over a few years back
LTs wife broke down a door to try and get his ass straight. If that's not the definition of a real one wtf is
He was great in Any Given Sunday as well.
He was also in an episode in sopranoes in shaft waterboy in hell with vsn dame in other movies as well he was big in.Any given sunday.
If "I LOVE THE COKE!!! I LOVE COCAINE!!" was a person!! The 80's still have the best stories I missed it unfortunately
Cocaine was the gateway drug in the 80's even the 90's.
The myth and legend of LT was simply unreal, he may have been smoking that crack but it never affected the way he cracked heads
LT is the GOAT!! I don't wanna hear no arguments 😂😂😂😂

It's strange but the drugs and his game came hand in hand it wouldn't of worked any other way. Such a fine balance
LT didn't play organized football until he was 13 or 14 years old. That really tells you something
Imagine if he played his entire career without drugs?!
If that was just 75% I shudder think about how good 100% would have looked. Damn!
