If you don't know why I'm doing this, read the post from before...
Here's the lineup:
LB - Lawrence Taylor: The following accolades can be attributed to the man who revolutionized the Linebacker position... (tribute clip

- The Giants defense in 1980,
pre LT, was the second worst in the league giving up 425 points over the course of the season. After LT joined the Giants defense they were third best in the league, giving up 257 points. Yes, Bill
Parcells was also seen for the first time as the defensive coordinator, but LT was a big part of that defense turning around.
- Everyone who's reading this knows what a sack is in football, not many know when it was created. The answer is 1982, after LT came into the league. They created it because LT rushing the QB in the manner that he did was something the league hadn't needed to keep track of until they saw how much of a game changing play it was. The freaking sack was created because of this guy...that's the hardest thing any football player can say.
- He had 20.5 sacks from the linebacker position...that is unheard of...
- He was the NFL MVP in 1986. In case you were wondering, the AP has given a defensive player the MVP three times in 50 years.
Obviously it would be fun to go out with this dude, I mean did you see him in Any Given Sunday? He cut an
f'ing car in half with a god damn chain saw, who would not enjoy seeing that? ( I've searched all over, but can't find a picture...sorry) Given
LT's flair for addiction and just general
badassness, I could see something absolutely insane happening out of hanging out with him. Plus, if anything rowdy happens, you can count on him re-enacting Joe
Theisman's leg injury on any
gibrone's...(don't watch this if you have a weak stomach)
