Sporting News conversation: Lawrence Taylor

Posted Apr 16, 2009
Lawrence Taylor has come to trip the light fantastic. It only seems as though he is going to bash in your skull first. Many years removed from his cocaine-fueled fall from grace, the legendary Giants linebacker, considered far and wide the greatest defensive player in NFL history, still is enigmatic enough to consent to an interview, pick the spot -- a dance studio outside Miami -- then walk in 25 minutes late, look you dead in the eye and declare, "(Expletive) this. I'm not answering any (expletive) questions." (Sporting News)
