Some Thoughts on L.T.

So Lawrence Taylor's in trouble again...that's not surprising.
For allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl? OK, maybe that's unchartered territory, even for L.T.

What are we supposed to make of this? Well, I can offer my opinion on what actually happened but I subscribe to Floyd Mayweather's theory on opinions so I'll leave it to the pundits to give us theirs. Jason Whitlock of The Kansas City Star and formerly of ESPN provided the most compelling evidence to date of Taylor's guilt, tweeting, "Seriously, not tryn 2 be funny, but the fact he was at a Holiday Inn is damning evidence. Only reason 2 stay @ Holiday Inn is do shady shat." Also, Taylor's history, specifically that he has a rap sheet as long as Al Capone's, doesn't lend itself to a verdict of innocent in the court of public opinion.

And for Taylor's legacy, if not his actual criminal sentence, the court of public opinion is all that matters.
