LT was more than just a great player. I will never forget when the team broke for lunch at training camp and my five year old son was upset because he wasn't able to meet any Giants. LT was on his way out with Rodney Hampton, saw my son crying, got out of the car, rubbed his head and signed his plastic football. My son now lives in Texas but he's still a big Giants fan.

Not really a Giants fan but this guy is the best defender in NFL history

[@wynnonahall8433]

and ended QB's careers

[@davidmcgovern7663]

I grew up in North Jersey less than 10 miles from the "Mentalands". I was always a die hard Jets fan. So...not a Giants fan....but you did not have to be a Giants fan to understand that you were watching probably the greatest player of all time. Here are some certainties about LT. First, most feared player on the field in any game he played. And he was NOT a dirty player. Almost impossible for him to get flagged for a late hit...he was in the pocket faster than the QB. Second, always double-teamed...NEVER mattered. Amazing...Wide Receivers and Defensive Ends get double teamed...but a Line-backer?..only Defensive Player that had to have a "Spy" put on him..lol.. Not only was he always making the tackle and/or stripping the ball...he always arrived at the ball with incredible ferocity. You knew you were going to get hit yet still coughed up the ball. Third, coaches actually changed entire game plans to accomodate LT's presence on the field. When LT got drafted out of NC I remember watching that first season..all Giant games aired on CBS Channel 2. It was clear then that this guy was "special"....40 years later, still a Jets fan....but I will say in MY opinion having been fortunate enough to see some of the greatest players of all time play the game, LT was for sure the greatest Defensive Player that I ever saw play the game and probably the Best Player Period that I ever saw play the game. LT in his 1986 "Prime" would still dominate in today's game. And sorry to say...QBs would definetely have a shorter shelf life. All NFL teams should retire #56.

[@jameshammer1616]

[@robduncan2816]

@@user-sg8kq7ii3y stats are only a part of a player's impact.

[@user-sg8kq7ii3y]

@@robduncan2816 Tippett was the anchor of his defense. He was EQUAL to Lawrence Taylor. But Taylor got all the attention for several reasons: 1) He played in New York, which is the media capital of the world. 2) He played for Bill Parcells 3) He played for GREAT Giants teams which had MANY great players on their roster - both on offense and defense. Their defense was known as "The Blue Wrecking Crew", and opponents had to not only worry about LT, but also had to worry about Carl Banks, Leonard Marshall, Jim Burt, Harry Carson, Gary Reasons, Everson Walls, etc. Tippett NEVER had that kind of talent surrounding him. NEVER, yet he still managed to rival Taylor in inflicting terror on opposing offenses. It's like Emmitt Smith vs. Barry Sanders. Emmitt played on GREAT Cowboy teams, SURROUNDED by talent, while Barry Sanders played on terrible Detroit teams. If Barry played for Dallas, he'd be even BETTER than he was. Same for Tippett - had he been on a better team, he would have won way more Superbowls and would have been even more impactful than he was. GIVE TIPPETT THE CREDIT HE DESERVES!!

He knew immediately it was bad and he was concerned for his fellow competitor. I wasn't a Giants fan but luckily I got to see LT's entire career and he definitely is the greatest in my lifetime. This is even harder to admit because I live in North Carolina and I'm a Duke fan. Damn Tarheels!!!

. . . and he was STONED to the BONE for this interview. GO HAWKS!!!

[@Mr25thfret]

It was hilarious when he slid into the end zone around 5:30. What a message to send to the QBs.

I'm a Giants fan and this is a good video

[@lyriccoke]

one of the reasons I started watching football and imulating what I saw to do playing with others in the backyard... strip sack was my specialty. I love the way he would tackle... because he was always ready to swat that ball out.

[@poulsonarrow]

The era when football was FOOTBALL ! I understand todays game is watered down, and those protections are in place to protect those assets of today , but man LT and those like him MADE Gridiron the gladiatorial spectacle we all loved to watch , the mould was set and broken at the same time .... throw back NO just smash mouth , hard hitting battle ! Thank you LT .

[@jackgalloway8314]

Watching Taylor as a boy and the Giants victory in Superbowl 21. Big Giants fan to this day.let us go. Greets from Uk!

[@KitchenerLeslie2]

Taylor, probably in the top four of dominant North American athletes of all time credits Phil Simms with turning the team around. I wish I wasn’t too young to fully appreciate his greatness while he was playing.

[@davidmcgovern7663]

Phil Simms was an underrated QB. Once the Giants offense started to gel, it took pressure off the offense as well as forced teams to start throwing the ball more. Which the Giant D ate up. LT with his ears pinned back...well....you can see the videos on KZbin. You kinda felt bad for the opposing QBs(especially an immobile Jaws). I am a lifelong Jet fan and had a chance to watch nearly every Giant and Jet game in the 1980s and 1990s. I can tell you this without even a hesitation, LT was by far the greatest Defensive Player I EVER saw play the game. And, while many NFL experts give the GOAT TAG to Offensive Players such as Tom Brady, it is my opinion that LT is the overall GOAT. As Phil Sims stated as an Analyst, he has been waiting to see the "Next" Lawrence Taylor, but no one has been close. I wonder who Bill Belichek would choose? I am not a Belichek fan, especially since "faxgate", but he is probably the greatest HC of all time...then Bill Walsh...I love Belichek's interviews when he speaks of LT's greatness. I was a jealous Jets fan....now up in years, it was awesome to have had the opportunity to watch LT play...just wish it would have been in Green on Channel 4 instead of Blue on Channel 2.

[@phyllispetras8402]

I am old, I don't know sports but thanks to The Blind Side film, I know about Mr. Taylor. BRAVO!

[@williamgullett5911]

LT and Walter Payton were the two greatest players I've seen since the early 70s

[@Rock88846]

L T Thanks for the memories!

“Being a Giant is pretty good.” - Lawrence Taylor

[@toma.4808]

I seriously felt sorry for opposing quarterbacks. He didnt hit you, he ran you over.

[@dwightlove3704]

Too bad Brady was not one of those QBs to catch the wrath of the man called THE TERMINATOR!!!!!

[@ProtosunProductions]

too bad joe montana dusted him off 4 times and he didnt get more than 2 rings 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jamesmckane1205]

Almost a Cowboy. Dallas wanted to trade up but the Saints who had the number one pick (Giants had the 2nd overall pick) said no because they wanted George Rogers. Whew 😖

[@ronsilvia8127]

Lawrence Taylor changed football we are lucky to have gotten to see him play you can't explain to this generation how dominant and important he has been to football you had to see it to believe it👍👍👍

[@keisterroll]

LT, Strawberry and Gooden was the trifecta for me as a kid in the 80's

[@jimhofus916]

All were dpers

[@KaisasDad]

His 2nd fav Yankee pitcher is probably Steve Howe. Saw him get a standing O from NY fans when he was put in a game. It was his first appearance following his 6th suspension for party drugs. Oh wait, make him 3rd. I forgot Dock Ellis was a Yankee too.

[@teresaromanski3925]

Love them all, but it's a shame their franchises didn't help them with their personal struggles, just covered or looked the other way. Especially gooden, just a teen let loose in the big city. That's corporate America for you. All about the Benjamin's.

[@teresaromanski3925]

@@KaisasDad Howe was an addict, had a disease, not a joke. The man was tormented. I felt sorry for the man. I can remember a story, I don't know how true it was, but he would have his wife chain him in the garage, so he couldn't go do drugs. Heartbreaking.

[@neilreid2298]

A once in a generation gifted athlete and ferocious competitor who rose to the top of the game. You don't see them made like that anymore. Wow.

[@randyduyck6254]

We always love offenses! But LT made us watch the defense! Watch out for '56!

[@MarkPelleyTheSnakeHunter]

This was one of the best interviews I have seen in my life

[@riffraff1880]

God I love football history.. it was crazy to see bill belichick coaching the linebackers.. and it’s crazy to think that bill was going up against the best teams back then like joe Montana! And beating them too... bill belichick is an absolute sports legend.

[@feynmanschwingere_mc2270]

Parcells, Coughlin, Crennel, the whole coaching staff was great, not just Belichick. What did Belichick do in Cleveland? Trash. What has Belichick done in New England without Brady? Trash.

[@faamecanic1970]

Thanks for the years of memories LT! I was a young boy watching your rookie season….got to play OLB in high school and you were always my inspiration!

[@RVRayRay]

Best football player ever…offense or defense.

[@kozmeetorez]

Do you know how strong he had to be to drag a grown ass man with one arm?

[@mfgreviews5028]

LT was an animal on the field and he had his drug problems. But he never lost his humbleness.

[@Moonroofmusik]

He's awesome

[@terrybrown7510]

He needs a full documentary!
