Why yes, yes I do,

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. There is a world of difference between what we know and talk about behind closed doors in the judge's chambers, DA's office, etc, and what is disclosed to the public. Just a point of information.

As an example, I was recently involved in a situation where we were discussing something in open court, and the DA blurts out, "I don't think we should be discussing this in open court.",

How about they are both scumbags, and wrong for what they did. Regardless of who and what team they play or have played for, money is power, and LT will get a slap on the wrist for this, just like Roethlisburger did. The list goes on and on. Glass houses and all...ya know. Didn't a linebacker from the Colts get charged with rape or something, amonth or so ago. Doesn't matter what team....they're all scumbags, and getting off easier than you and me could ever dream of. I luv you all.

I liken this as a bunch of guys sitting around a big table, smoking cigars and having an adult conversation. As long as we don't breech either politic or religion topics, the conversation goes how it goes. I've seen threads stray a lot more off topic than this one.

What a shame. I feel absolutely terrible for the girl. Sad. If guilty, I hope they "throw the book at him".

How about assault and prostitution? That story is wrong on SO many levels. I hope they throw the book at him.

Just saw him on Donald J. Trump's Fabulous World of Golf...and thought to myself "He still looks like a crack head."

What a shame.

I saw a report with a police official on ESPN this morning.

He said something to the effect that LT was cooperative, admitted having sex with the girl and paying her, but at this point there was no evidence that he had not caused any of her other injuries.

The "pimp" (man who delivered the girl to LT) was also arrested.

My senior year of college was about to start at FDU in Rutherford New Jersey.

I was working as a waiter at the Sheraton Meadowlands and served people like Wayne Gretzky and Joe Montana and lots of other visiting teams.

My boss asked me to leave to open up a new sports restaurant up the road and couldn't give too much info but asked me to trust him, it would be worth it. I did.

It was LT's restaurant and sports bar, the year was 1991, and trhe Giants won Superbowl 25 over the Bills when Scott Norwood went wide left.

I got to know LT fairly well and know he can't keep his pecker in his pants.

I don't think he raped anyone however.

I feel terrible for his wife, as she was one of the nicest people you could ever meet.

As bad as what they are accusing him is, I would like to wait until the smoke clears before passing judgment. Something does not sound right with this story. Lastly, if he did hire her as a prostitute, I doubt he asked for or knew she was a minor.

I used to deal with LT every day at one of my first jobs. At Miami Beach Golf Course. He was a golf member. The guy was really nice, wouldn't ask a thing from you. I can't comment on his personal life though.

Listening to LT's lawyer after his hearing did anyone else notice his wording?

"LT did not have consensual sex with anyone yesterday."

Does that mean he did have sex but did not obtain consent?

Hard to say what he's trying to say, but if the girl is under 17 she is legally unable to give consent

I have no idea what he was saying either. The lawyer was pretty entertaining in court though.

Gotta love how the press has convicted him already.

Good buddy of mine is former NYPD and due to his current job has quite a few ties with PD all over the country. Has already spoken to a couple of LEO involved with the case and they pretty much confirmed that the prosecuter has a slam dunk case.

They have rape kit results, DNA, the works... Granted he is innocent till proven guilty, they have a pretty solid case.

I'm shocked about this considering his past. Hmmm...knock me over with a feather!

In 2001, Taylor was convicted of possessing drug paraphernalia in New Jersey. The conviction stemmed from the September 1998 discovery in a hotel room of a butane torch and other materials commonly used to smoke crack.

In 1996 and 1997, he was arrested in South Carolina and Florida on drug charges. In those cases, he either admitted his guilt or agreed to enter a pretrial intervention program.

In 2000, he drew five years of federal probation for filing false tax returns and for tax evasion.

He's a model citizen.

Because he has a history of drug use you are not surprised be is being charged with rape?

Was being sarcastic/facetious here as his past conduct and how he has handled his private life is pretty sad when you consider how much he has been blessed with in life. Drug use, rape, tax evasion is a pretty sad commentary of his choices in life.

A sense of entitlement and society's aversion to making our idols responsable for their actions fuels this never-ending merry-go-round. For the moment he is guilty of extremely poor judgement and putting himself in a situation like this. Makes Nolan Ryan look like a better idol IMHO.
