Lawrence Taylor said WHAT?!


How can L.T. tell the kids not to use crack with a straight face? Didn't he use cocaine throughout most of his career?




"I am that damn good!"

he was using during the show. he said he was ok drugs while he called himself LT. he does not go by that name anymore

It's a comedic device called irony, moke.

Right on - total irony...intentional (those who know LT's history probably found that at least a little humorous). At least Taylor had a good sense of humor about it!

I think Lawrence Taylor used cocaine when he was player then graduated to crack after the retired.

This is a double joke, the in-joke with LT, plus after Bobby Boucher's ramblings to the kids about football like he had brain damage or something (which was hilarious, BTW!), then Lawrence Taylor deadpans the line, something like "Oh, yeah, kids, and don't do crack!" I think the latter interpretation is the funniest...lol.
