I so badly want to mock former Giants star Lawrence Taylor – who pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and for having sex with an underage prostitute – for the thoughts he expressed in his interview with Fox News Tuesday, via ESPN New York . but remember, he had sex with a 16-year-old girl.
So, I’ll simply present to you some of Taylor’s most head-shaking, eyebrow-raising quotes.
“I didn't pick her up at no playground. She wasn't hiding behind the school bus or getting off a school bus. … That's not my M.O. I've been around kids and people all my life. I'm not the cause of prostitution. And sometimes I make mistakes and I may go out there . . . This is a working girl that came to my room. And I don't know what her age was. I asked her age. She told me she was 19. It is what it is."
More from the story:
"It's the world of prostitution," he said during the Fox News interview. "You never know what you're going to get. Is it going to be a pretty girl, an ugly girl or whatever it's gonna be."
Or a young girl? Smith asked.
"You can only ask," Taylor said. "I don't card them. I don't ask for a birth certificate."
Taylor said he had "no beef" with the girl.
"I'll take my punishment like I should, but my problem is at home with my wife, so that's really the only one I have to answer to," he said in the interview.
