An Open Letter to Lawrence Taylor

What were you thinking L.T.?


A 16-year-old girl? Really?


I’m probably not the first one to lecture you on your behavior, and I know for sure I won’t be the last, but you need to get yourself together.


Having sex with a teenage girl, one so young she can’t even legally drive, is going to cost you most of the your fan base. That is, the ten or so fans you have left.


I understand you haven’t been popular since you last got in trouble for behavior deemed immoral by most of society, but you have to get your act together.


No one will remember how dominate your were on the field. You’ll be remembered as another professional athlete who could not get their act together of the field. And no statistic can make up foe those mistakes. Just ask O.J. Simpson.


And this is just the beginning. Your all night, excessive partying of yesteryear wouldn’t fly under the radar today. Just ask TMZ.


They probably have a full time “reporter/photographer” on you as we speak, detailing and documenting your every move. Just as Tiger Woods.


I know this isn’t your first brush with the law; that this is child’s play (no pun untended) compared to your cocaine-fueled party days.


Athletes have to walk a finer live than before. With the invention of camera phones, and Twitter and Facebook, they can’t get away with what they use to. Just ask Ben Roethlisberger
