Lawrence Taylor's Latest Transgression

He's done it again. Lawrence Taylor's ass is in a sling yet again. After he had been through the ringer for purchasing cocaine from an undercover cop, he's been accused of misconduct involving a minor. But I thought he was a changed man!! Those of us that thought he'd reformed after his time at Dancing with the Stars? DUPED! And those of us that thought he'd changed after his Nutrisystem Commercial? We've been HAD!

Taylor was arrested for rape of a minor and solicitation of a prostitute early Thursday, May 6th. Taylor is married and a father of 3. What would even compel a man to even enter into a situation that could end this badly?

There are a long string of incidents involving sports stars or former sports stars that merit all the attention of the public. From Ben Roethlisberger to Plaxico Burress, many sports stars are absolutely retarded and they often find it hard to keep their pistols under their elastic waistbands. What these guys need is a really square person to hang around them at all times and give them common sense advice.

Plaxico could have avoided all controversy involving his gun accidentally discharging in a New York City club if he had a small white dude with glasses to consult with. Plaxico: "Should I bring my nine to the club?" Small white guy with glasses: "No Plaxico, that's not a good idea." Likewise, Ben Roethlisberger could have avoided all his trouble had he employed a nerd with common sense. Big Ben: "Hey Poindexter, hold my jacket as I enter the women's bathroom." Poindexter: "That's not such a good plan Ben!"

These guys make so much money but have precious few brain cells to rub together. I am not commenting on whether or not these guys are guilty of the crimes of which they are accused. All I am doing is pointing out that it takes a real idiot to even get into the situation where you can get accused of such activities. It seemed to me that in the past sports stars had more discretion and their conspirators had a little more tact before completely outing them to the police or the media. I don't think these things were unheard of back in the 1960s but rather that people didn't go blabbing all over the place. Also, sports stars might have had a bit more common sense with which to decide that entering a hotel room with a 15 year old prostitute is a bad idea for their careers.
