NBC chose a registered sex offender to star in their Thanksgiving NFL promo

I don't know anything about this Lawrence Taylor guy, but here we have one liberal outfit (MSN) smacking another liberal outfit (NBC). So I figured it was worth a post.

The Age of Trump sure is interesting.

[Professional]

Well, sounds like a perfect fit!

F the NFL

[Chgogal]

Brilliant on the NFL’s part to have such a loser represent them on such a day.

[Alberta's Child]

LT is such a loser that he probably took the job for lunch money.

[Popman]

Lawrence Talyor did more to change the game of football than any modern player...

When he broke Joe Theisman leg like toothpick it forever changed
the way the game was played...

He’s still a dirtbag...

[Alberta's Child]

I’m not sure about that. The Theismann injury was more of a freak injury than anything else. LT’s dominance as an outside linebacker had changed the way the game was played long before that.

[blackdog]

Work has been hard to come by since his Waterboy cameo days. Teen prostitutes don’t come cheap. Especially the teens under forty with teeth. Btw anyone remember the Eddie Murphy days getting serviced by transvestites? No big deal right?

[discostu]

It’s a funny commercial. Actually kind of made me feel bad for Theismann though, a whole day of filming jokes about his career ending injury was probably not a lot of fun.

[Lopeover]

Why is the NFL honoring a pedophile in a Thanksgiving parade? Me. Taylor is proven in a court to have raped an underage minor in a hotel room?

[GAgal]

"Taylor, 58, was arrested in Palm Beach County, Florida, on Sept. 2 after crashing into a stopped police car on the Florida Turnpike. Taylor took two breathalyzer tests five hours after the crash that measured his blood-alcohol level at .082 and .084, above the Florida legal limit of .08." And his license was revoked for only 9 mos? The judge needs to be investigated imo.

[Alberta's Child]

Wasn’t Theismann already a fading 35+ year old QB by that time?

[ratzoe]

Actually kind of made me feel bad for Theismann though, a whole day of filming jokes about his career ending injury was probably not a lot of fun.

IMO, Joey T loves attention, doubt he had a problem at all with the filming.

[heterosupremacist]

LT was a force of nature when he played for the Giants, mainly because he played alongside Carl Banks, Gary Reasons, Pepper Johnson, and Harry Carson!

Most overrated dirtbag ever...

[treetopsandroofs]

Betting he voted at least once for BJ’s wife, even if his voting rights haven’t already been restored.

[Jane Austen]

NFL is making a statement as to what they approve of. Now, if Taylor had been against a unisex bathroom, he would never have been chosen.

[discostu]

He was probably past his prime, hitting 36, but he could still play. Probably had a couple more seasons in him. Prior to that hit he’d been pretty durable, not a lot of injuries, then he came back with one leg shorter than the other... And I don’t even like the guy actually, he’s always kind of irritated me. But filming day probably really sucked for him.

[discostu]

There’s like 3 leg breaking jokes in the 30 second spot that’s airing. Probably dozens more during filming. Even a lover of attention has his limits.

[pinkandgreenmom]

My friend went to college at Fairleigh Dickinson when the Giants used to do their training camp there. The girls were all warned about LT. He harassed my friend quite a bit trying to get her to hook up with him and he didn’t like being told to get lost.

[CaptainMorgantown]

Great player.

Terrible human being.

He has had many second chances, but continues to harm himself and others.

[Alberta's Child]

He always looked weird because he played with only one face bar on his helmet -- long after everyone else except punters had upgraded their helmets to a full face mask.

I didn't see him early in his career but I just checked out his numbers. I never knew he started his Redskins career as their punt returner ... after he started his pro career as a top CFL quarterback!
