I get a teenager not thinking of Taylor at all. If you're 27 you were only about 10 by the time he retired, although you were a teenager when he was very much in the news. But the others who have mentioned it, plus many people I know, are much older than that.

 

You're right. I should totally think of Taylor when I hear LT. The reason I don't, I would imagine, is because Taylor has been retired for a significant amount of time now and just doesn't get talked about in my neck of the woods, meanwhile everyone within a 100 mile radius from me has at least 1 LaDanian Tomlinson jersey hanging in their closet. So it seams.

 

I'm hoping that gets me a pass.

Hist second time caught with coke he was court ordered to go to schools and tell the kids the evil of drugs and the violent behavior it could lead to. I guess he was just reading off a script and didn't listen to his own words

Exactly. Not the Tomlinson jersey part, but he's constantly getting called LT. I never call him LT. I'm old enough to remember Lawrence Taylor as a player and I think he is the greatest defensive player that has ever played the game (Butkus close 2nd). Tomlinson should be called LDT. But I know so many people call him LT that I always assume he is the one being talked about because he is the one typically in the news in recent years.

BBB gets an obvious pass, raw does not.

Whenever I hear of LT I ALWAYS think of Lawrence Taylor first, then Tomlinson. I pretty much refer to Tomlinson as LT2K. (Yes I know it's a lame nickname.)

LOL. Was it because my improper use of the word "seams"?

You're surrounded by southern california douchebags who must have been worshipping at the LT idol for the past decade. Raw's in Pittsburgh, which is a city that has not quite escaped the 80's.

This is true. I am hanging my head in shame.

According to FBI documents obtained by TMZ, the 16-year-old girl that allegedly had sex with Lawrence Taylor was instructed to tell Taylor she was 19 years old.

 

Apparently that doesn't matter for statutory rape though....it matter what age she is...not what she said she is.

It matters in beating the case. Sure the law is put into place so they can be charged but if Taylor legitimately did not know she was underage its not his fault.

I think LT only gets off w/ a solicitation charge. Sounds like he didn't beat her. Doesn't sound like he forced her to do anything. I think because he did hire a hooker, he should reasonably expect that the girl was over 18. I think it all falls back onto the pimp for putting a girl under 18 in that situation.

 

Kind of like if you have sex w/ a girl you meet at a 21-and over nightclub. If she is really 16, then I don't think the guy is responsible because he had reason to believe she was over 21. If not, that is on the club for letting her in without proper ID.

Are you really 19?

Yeah, yeah I'm really 19.

Yeah....the solicitation charge is obvious, and I doubt he'd even fight that.

Looks like the defense they're gonna try to go with was that they didn't have "sex"....just "Clinton sex"...

I actually had a friend who served jury duty for a statutory rape case. The prosecution couldn't prove that the guy knew the girl was underage, so he got a not-guilty verdict.

 

Apparently, if she says she's of age and it's reasonable to assume that she's of age, then it's not statutory.

 

All of this, of course, assumes consent was given.
