My father is a diehard cowboys fan. LT still lives rent free in his head. He still talks about him like he's suiting up Sunday 😂

Taylor used to come in where my dad worked and played golf seen him a bunch of times always a nice guy..I will never forget when Taylor was taking a shower in the locker room and a guy that worked there stole his Super Bowl ring…he was very upset I will never forget that day I thought he was gonna hurt the guy he was actually working there on work release..

As a Raider fan growing up in New Jersey, I watched every game he played. Now I never watched Jim Brown in real time, but I watched Lawrence Taylor and in my 56 years on this earth I have never seen a better football player.

The Saints made the worst mistake the worst decision ever passing up on LT.

Man as a Saints fan we missed out on Lawrence Taylor.

[redmustangredmustang]

That 1986 season, he just tore up defenses. The game that won him the NFL MVP was that second Redskins game at RFK. Go watch it, how he ended up in the backfield with all those sacks and a forced fumble. The Giants put everything together that season.
