Lawrence Taylor's self-abusive behavior continues

This time, it's not taking the indirect route of drug abuse, though. He's eliminating the middle man and just inflicting physical pain onto himself.

I think this is behavior that Jamie Foxx would describe as "crackish." Really, Lawrence. A slap of your own hand would deliver exactly the same message to the audience. Slap the chair. Slap Chris Rose.

You've endured enough in your life, brother. Giving yourself a concussion on a sports talk show is not going to help you sell more copies of NFL Blitz.

    If he gets a concussion from slapping himself in the face, he better not be married.

    Doesn't coke make your face go numb. Only way I can explain it except for one huge tolerance for pain.
    (He still gets kudos for breaking Joe Theisman's leg, though.)

    You have got to be kidding me. So what if he slapped himself on a tv show, how is this worthy of a story? LT is the greatest linebacker ever and he gave an amazing interview on Howard Stern the other day. There's only one LT! (not the crybaby running back on the Chargers).

    Anyone who would applaud someone's leg being broken should eat worms while cancer ravages his body from head to toe.

    number 8 is right on, and 5 is too, actually. 'spider' salley s/b spider sally, what a sissy! LT is the man. mjd (never heard of you) is a shaky writer/blogger. easy with the racial overtones, when dishing superlatives. 'crackish'? really?
    ask around, that sounds 'noose-ish'? i hear there's an opening at the ny post.

    He makes a big deal out of LT slapping himself in the face to illustrate a point in a funny way, and downplays an anti-Semitic act in another blog. He's got to work on his priorities.

    To even make a statement that LT is not a top 20 LB is absurd! You should put down the pipe! I would take Taylor over "Butkiss" every day of the week! You must be confused being a Bears and Cubs fan??? Great town Chicago!! It will be another 20 years before the sorry excuse for a team Bears sniff the Super Bowl again and the Cubs...nuff said! Sit down looooser!
