Dude you are wrong. I am never going to call Ladanian Tomlinson, LT. Until Ladanian pops a 15 y/o girl in the face and rapes her in a hotel room, he will never be LT to me. A football fan has to have his standards.
Yes Lawrence was the original/'real' LT.. But Ladanian was called LT ever since he was a child, and just went with it. I'm sure Ladanian has, or had alot of respect for Lawrence. Discussing Ladanian's nickname is ridiculous, and who gives a damn.
Yet Ben doesn't get charged. Guarantee it becomes a race issue at some point. My read at this point is that LT called a pimp, Davis brought the girl, he figured she was old enough, and if she told her she was 19, then that adds to that rendition. EDIT: Now listening to WFAN, the defense attorney says he never called Davis or any pimplike person. Though obviously that's what he's supposed to say.
"Your honor, my client, Mr. Taylor, an upstanding member of the community for, ugh, that's not important, was alone, sleeping in his bed at the Holiday Inn, and this woman to my left broke in, dropped from the ceiling in fact, stole $300 of his money and unbeknownst to my client, forced herself upon my client, having sexual relations to which he never consented. Your honor, you can clearly see that my client is innocent and all charges should be dismissed immediately"
Well, it looks like she told people she was 19. LT denies having sex with her last night. That's probably a lie. What I'm curious about is he says that he has no clue who this Rasheed Davis pimp guy is, yet he apparently delivered her to his room. That's what I'm curious about...
the defense attorney on WFAN also said "Do you think this is something Lawrence Taylor would do? Now come on" great defense.
The two actually talked about it live on a late night talk show (I think it was Letterman but could be wrong). LT jokingly called out Tomlinson for stealing his name and said he would start calling him "BLT" with the B standing for "baby." Tomlinson agreed because he likes BLT sandwiches.
lol yeah I think I saw that. Bottom line though EVERYBODY knows Lawrence Taylor is the 'REAL' LT. All in all it's just something stupid fans get over sensitive about.
