After an offseason practice, Sir Lawrence Taylor sat down with our reporters to answer some questions about himself and his team.
Reporter: "First, why do you use the title Sir?"
SLT: "It's a funny story, actually. I was vacationing in London when I was about 20, and I ended up foiling a bank robbery. It was hot outside, so we came inside to chill in the A/C, and all of a sudden some guy starts waving a gun at the bankers. He really didn't expect it when I took his legs out from underneath him... The funny thing is, the gun was fake. I was actually knighted by the Queen a day later!"
Rep: "That is nuts. Not everyone is a proper knight, are they?"
SLT: "Yeah, I guess not. It doesn't come with any special privileges or anything, but hey, don't look a gifthorse in the mouth, right?"
Rep: "Yeah, I guess so. Anyways, how have you spent your offseason so far?"
SLT: "I've taken the time to get to know my guys, especially the newbies, Jim (Laurinitis22). He's a cool guy, and we're going to show the league who Gotham City is. Me, Jim, and Jackson (Schmoe) that is."
Rep: "What are your expectations for the defense, and really the whole team this year?"
SLT: "It's not my place to set the bar for the offense, because it's not my place. I'd be pissed if Rico Dynamite told me to get x amount of tackles this year!"
Rep: *laugh* "Yeah, I think I feel for you. Sort of. Anyways, what about the defense? I think you forgot to answer that part."
SLT: "Oh, right. Anyways, I suppose if we allowed less than 10 points this season, I'd be happy." [/sarcasm]
Rep: "For a knight, you're about as serious as a rubber chicken. What do you think about your coaches?"
SLT: "Matt, our D guy, is great. he's got infinite patience with some of the newer guys, and that gives our whole squad the confidence to perform to our fullest. Coach Sack is a friggin genius guy, I swear. The man lives football. But yeah, I got plans tonight, so if you don't have any more questions...?"
Rep: "Just one. You ready for the season to start?"
SLT: *smile* "Of course. See you at the first game."
