I watched his career and i think this captured LT perfectly. An imperfect, perfect human being. Nobody was ever more exciting to watch and talk about than him.
I've watched football for 47years now. If I start a team and I can pick any player ever im taking Lawrence Taylor 1 overall. I dont care about stats, qb's, Running backs, that's the best football player ever. Imagine the best guy on the field giving 2 times the effort of everyone on the field on every play. And demanding the rest of team do the same
Based on his impact on the game LT is the greatest defensive player of all time. I might add lovely to see mum and dad still there as his true leveller.
@edwardporter9033 : Lawrence Taylor is the best defensive player of all time and in the 80s. Reggie White is the best defensive player of the 90s. Derrick Thomas is a "GREAT" pass rusher. A liability in pass coverage. Solid against the run.
LT is the man and as far as I am concerned the best linebacker that ever played the game. This katt was dangerous on the field. I don’t know anyone that played like he did on crack. I don’t know how he played at all. He looks good today we all fuck up it’s how we learn.
35:33 that's exactly the facial expression I'd expect from someone being thanked for their loyalty in front of tens of thousands of people who has a flight out of town the next morning. Wow, that's tough.
LT is still a bad mo fo! The man has done some questionable off the field things. In my opinion that’s is the part of him that show that he’s human. I say that bc on the field Lawrence Taylor was a Superman, I watched LT closely from 1979 till 1981 at UNC and then 1981 thru 1994 as #56 New York Giants. In ‘81 LT came in the NFL and changed the way the game is played. Man he was entertaining!
Everybody in New York was misbehaving and doing recreational stuff back in the 80’s. Darryl Strawberry, Keith Hernandez, Doc Gooden, and Mike Tyson. I think Mark Gastineau and and Ken O’Brien caused a riot at Studio 54.
This wasn't a doc I was impressed with. I wished they went more into his life after football. Not just the bad but the good such as what he's up too nowadays. Has him and his family made peace especially.
This isn't a football life this is the life & times of LT but I still like the doc tho. Why is it so hard to find his "A Football Life" episode? You know any good sites?
@@BigBlue4L56 they took his episode and put in other parts of his documentary to create it? I seen these exact same scenes with the life & times of LT.
Thank you 0:31 Self-portrait The little smile after... America is best for denigrating people. He got caught and all the jealous people can now just label and judge. America.
There was a story about Reggie and Lawrence in '85 Parcells wanted to take him in the Supplemental Draft imagine if they were teammates it would have been the equivalent of seeing LUCIFER&JESUS together on the field.
@julianvaughnmusic Can't go wrong with either one of them imagine if they were teammates which is what Parcells tried to accomplish in the '85 Supplemental Draft it would have been the equivalent of seeing LUCIFER and JESUS together on the field if one didn't get the QB the other would have.
I believe that Mr. Taylor had issues like possibly mania or adhd; I myself have been diagnosed with mania it causes lots of issues..And as to the gentleman who described him as a despicable person; as far as I know he never killed, robbed, raped or stole from or to people; which is more than I can say for various athletes(See Brett Favre)..At least LT had an excuse:Drugs..Whats Brett's and countess other shady athletes excuse..None of us are perfect so get off soapbox..LT will forever be the GOAT and his flaws are what makes him great..
Would he have been as good, without the drugs? Saw him play in 89. My team was winning for three quarters. Then Lawrence woke up. Two sacks, a forced fumble, three tackles for losses and a batted down pass on third down. Game over! TV does not due his play justice.
To answer your question, LT didn't use drugs during his career after receiving his second strike before the start of the '88 season. Go see what he did between '88-90, and stop this false narrative.
Do you know Lawrence Taylor and Jerome Bennett are both born on the same day in February which makes them in Aquarius and they went through the same bullshit growing up until a coach nudge them Aquarius you White boy, Rick Rick Ross, the real one from Los Angeles yeah they like to party. They’re all alike

No doubt a change agent in the annuls of football. It’s hard to think of any other person. Having more of N influence on the game. However, as great as he was on the field, he was morally bankrupt of the field, a man without forethought or a nano spec of discretion. Love the football but despise the man
I watched his career and i think this captured LT perfectly.
An imperfect, perfect human being.
Nobody was ever more exciting to watch and talk about than him.
"This is not a game for the most well-adjusted people."
--Bill Parcells
He was a badass defensive football player
The best at his position ive ever seen
Nobody has come close to him
LT was and always will be the GOAT on defense. No man has ever struck fear into other grown men like LT.
Lyle Alzado ring a bell?
@@nathanjarboe4927Lyle alzado? The steroid user? Doesn’t count lmao when Lawrence Taylor was all natural
@@Kdsburner6996 I'm guessing LT used anabolic steroids. Why wouldn't he? He used all kinds of drugs. Of course I always heard he didn't like to lift.
@ there was no proof of Lawrence ever using steroids like Lyle did
@ lots of athletes don’t like lifting however their obvious practices of pushing 300 pound men gets them stronger
You don't judge a man by his failures only by his rise to overcome them🎉
😢

This was my favorite episode LT my favorite football player and my favorite team
The Greatest Football Player to ever put on cleats. Period.........
gives me chills and tears....LT~!
This is why Joe Jacoby isn't in the Hall of Fame: the only time we see him on UA-cam is in Lawrence Taylor highlights.
Joe Jacoby!
He should be..
@@hammertime9132 I thought he was in the class of '18
I hope so he's one of the best to ever play .
@@hammertime9132 Yes he was
Hands down Lawrence Taylor was the best linebacker ever.,....,...
That is not true Derek Thomas best defensive player in that era bar none LT was great he's no DT for sure
Based on his impact on the game LT is the greatest defensive player of all time. I might add lovely to see mum and dad still there as his true leveller.
@@neilquinn9850 so Derek Thomas gets dismissed like that to me he's the best

@phillipwalker4237 that's your opinion respect to me DT was the man on Def
Thank you for sharing this
No problem man👍🏾
Yes thank you man been looking for this for 2 years @dnordee
LT is the man and as far as I am concerned the best linebacker that ever played the game. This katt was dangerous on the field. I don’t know anyone that played like he did on crack. I don’t know how he played at all. He looks good today we all fuck up it’s how we learn.
I was fortunate to be old enough to watch him play, he was something else, but drugs ruined him and his future. Drugs really suck!
Could you image how much better he could have been if he didn't party ! Another level !
Think about what this man accomplished playing against the Bears, 49ers and Washington during the 80's....some of the best offenses of all time.
While high af and drunk as a skunk
Lawrence Taylor is the Man when football was football as a kid I loved watching him on the field he adored the game
LT is the destroyer of worlds.
Reggie White. Bruce Smith. Michael Strahan. Lawrence Taylor. The Mount Rushmore of Sack Leaders all time.
As patriots fan
BB talked about LT
All the time. He always
Says he's the best defensive player
Of all time, and no one was in
His league.
35:33 that's exactly the facial expression I'd expect from someone being thanked for their loyalty in front of tens of thousands of people who has a flight out of town the next morning. Wow, that's tough.
My cousin had a chance to hang out with LT when she was in Miami, and she said he is mad cool.
LT is still a bad mo fo! The man has done some questionable off the field things. In my opinion that’s is the part of him that show that he’s human.

The ultimate defensive weapon.
What about Reggie White!!!!!!
This wasn't a doc I was impressed with. I wished they went more into his life after football. Not just the bad but the good such as what he's up too nowadays. Has him and his family made peace especially.
If you wanna know more about his life after football, go check out LT: Life and Times
@BigBlue4L56 u missed my point
What a dick head
He was giving you direction as to finding info you seemed to be interested in.
He's now a sex offender and former drug addict.
This isn't a football life this is the life & times of LT but I still like the doc tho. Why is it so hard to find his "A Football Life" episode? You know any good sites?
This is his football life episode
@@BigBlue4L56 they took his episode and put in other parts of his documentary to create it? I seen these exact same scenes with the life & times of LT.

LT THE GOAT
Yes u was 💯💯
Wow, I'm the number 56 like. It's fate!
The only one who could have played better than LT was HIM!!!!!! In Heaven
@14:49 No shame in Parcells game 😆 @14:56 tho 🤣
LT is the greatest football player that ever lived. My dude Reggie white is 2nd.
But very sad to have watched the end. I hope LT can stay clean if not for himself, but his family.
Reggie White was 1B
There was a story about Reggie and Lawrence in '85 Parcells wanted to take him in the Supplemental Draft imagine if they were teammates it would have been the equivalent of seeing LUCIFER&JESUS together on the field.
Reggie first Lawrence 2nd buddy
@julianvaughnmusic Can't go wrong with either one of them imagine if they were teammates which is what Parcells tried to accomplish in the '85 Supplemental Draft it would have been the equivalent of seeing LUCIFER and JESUS together on the field if one didn't get the QB the other would have.
Imagine this man if he played the game sober.
35:35. When you are too blind to see it coming. It hits, when you least expect it.
Why would somebody say that to him?Knowing that that was his problem begin with.That doesn't sound like a friendly at all.
Bill Parcells has given away millions of dollars to his former players when they have fell on hard times.....

patronizing a prostitute, whats that a joke, they arrested LT and put him on trial for that, shame on them!

He was a high mf. I don’t know if this is true or not but I hear he did that coke.
Yup made some players hyped amped up or it caused heart attacks like Len Bias basketball player ... white lines rap song
@@MadSUPANOVAHe wasn't on drugs from '88-93.
