As someone who has once smoked crack its extremely hard to imagine someone being able to play in the NFL and be great while simultaneously doing crack binges at night. Mind blowing.
Ryan H what is it like?My country is on something like a crack era and there is a lot of crack fiends on my neighborhood,they all skinny as Fuck,sad situation
Money you get really high. Like complete euphoria for a good 2 minutes then you start to come down. It lasts a total of 10 minutes. That's why its easy to get hooked because you keep doing it so much. Well when you run out of it, it sucks because you have to find a dealer and after the 3rd or 4th time in a day or two sometimes they just get tired of selling to you so you have to find another one. So you're constantly chasing it. Not caring about eating or bathing. That's why you see them skinny and dirty. It really sucks. Please don't try it
I can just imagine an unsuspecting dealer standing in a crack alley, and here comes LT running around the corner like it's an offensive tackle, heading straight for his head
What do you mean an amazing man? He’s done amazing things, but Lawrence Taylor is an ass hole, I met him in a hotel lobby when I was 15 or 16 and asked if I could get a picture with him and he went on to scream at me no and he’s not in the mood. He’s a real dick, I understand if he was in a bad mood but to scream at a kid like that was uncalled for.
Joseph Stinson that is crazy man but I’m not sure how old you are now, but he was likely on drugs and that will turn you into a completely different person
That letter from his son made me well up a little. Anyone who has had a drug addiction knows how painful it is to hear that. Even after all the fuck-up mistakes you made a son is still offering unconditional love when you weren't there for him a lot of the time because you were busy being strung out on dope.... The worst...
I saw a highlight of him literally grabbing a quarterback from behind with one hand, hoisting him off the ground, and tossing him to the turf like a sack of potatoes. With one hand.
salem moumni. different era bruh. in LT day no drug test or internet/social media. flash gordon should know he cant get away with what you could 30 plus years ago
@@krisroops1035 yea man im saying if josh was playing 30 years ago he would be a hall of famer , but its way better for his health and mental state this way, its just sad how people see him ..
Throwing people in jail for drug use is a crime itself.If they do stupid harmful shit while their high book them for that but getting high alone no way.
It is about money... Court system is all about fines and making money... even though at the end of the day the profits are far less than the losses... Think it costs 50K a year to take care of one inmate for a year?
this crazy guy is such an amazing physical specimen he makes cocaine seem like jelly beans. Seriously, the side effects of cocaine would annihilate the careers of most men, but he just destroyed offenses, drank copious amounts of alcohol, to wash the cocaine down I guess, then drank a bottle of Scope to freshen up before practice, became a legend, retired and took some more. Even to this day he does not appear to be much effected physically or mentally by his heavy use of the drug. Seriously, this guy is like Captain America if Captain America was a crack head: Short-term effects of cocaine: Loss of appetite Increased heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature Contracted blood vessels Increased rate of breathing Dilated pupils Disturbed sleep patterns Nausea Hyperstimulation Bizarre, erratic, sometimes violent behavior Hallucinations, hyperexcitability, irritability Tactile hallucination that creates the illusion of bugs burrowing under the skin Intense euphoria Anxiety and paranoia Depression Intense drug craving Panic and psychosis Convulsions, seizures and sudden death from high doses (even one time) Long-term effects of cocaine: Permanent damage to blood vessels of heart and brain High blood pressure, leading to heart attacks, strokes, and death Liver, kidney and lung damage Destruction of tissues in nose if sniffed Respiratory failure if smoked Infectious diseases and abscesses if injected Malnutrition, weight loss Severe tooth decay Auditory and tactile hallucinations Sexual problems, reproductive damage and infertility (for both men and women) Disorientation, apathy, confused exhaustion Irritability and mood disturbances Increased frequency of risky behavior Delirium or psychosis Severe depression Tolerance and addiction (even after just one use)
This is to your point about him being a freak of nature, when he was at UNC he would play pickup hoops with the UNC basketball team and I've heard all of them say he could've played in the NBA. Another crazy thing is that he didn't start playing football until his senior year of highschool. You are right he is the man!!
The only way this can be beat you have to asked The only Mighty God to take it away from you and you do the work from there and you will be clean for ever as long as you walk and talk to God every day of your life to the end.
Aaron Gilliam because he gives us free agency to choose what we want and another thing I know cause I had this problem and that’s been over 25 years ago and I’m still clean do to God.
@@raymondperales6612 If religion helped you, that's great man. But addiction really is a medical condition, and an addict should seek professional medical help, not Church. I mean, if someone had cancer, you wouldn't just tell them to go to Church and pray about it, would you?
Fermion it’s all in faith God hears those who follow him and he said if you have much of a mustard seed in faith you will receive his blessings I know because I have received so many blessing because I have faith in him and yes Thru God only is everything possible Not Man or bread should you live by but thru faith.
I've done cocaine many times and trust me it will not help you play football better. All these people who say it will make you faster and better have obviously never done coke. It makes you paranoid asf and makes it hard to breathe makes your heart pound etc. Especially when you ain't sleeping the night before the game. If anything he would have been even better off the coke
Could you imagine being a coach and you the team is playing in LA and you have to go into a rolling 60s hood to get him outta a rock house at 3am because you all have a game
Love this guy so much i have 2 authentic jerseys of LT 1986 1990 SUPER BOWL SEASON JERSEYS I STILL LOVE THIS MAN HE CAN BE AN ATTIC 4EVER HE STILL THE GREATEST LINEBACKER EVER PERIOD 💙
If you’ve never did coke then you can’t fully understand how he felt while being high on it while playing in a game. 0 anxiety, 100% supreme confidence
We’ve all fallen in one way or the other. I’m a die hard Dallas Cowboys fan and have always had the greatest respect for LT. I admire his greatness on the field. However, we are all humans some super human like LT but still human. There was a time when I struggled with issues in my own life. However, one day someone introduced me to Jesus Christ and my life changed for ever for the better. I pray Lt finds him as well and all who struggle. I love you Jesus thank you for saving me!!.
Would rather smoke and be the greatest player of all time than a loser living in my parents house,not doing anything productive and jacking off to pornhub all day.
i respect mike wallace a great deal, but in hindsight, there were a lot of hot words used to drive interaction for this interview. the interview asks him about drug use, which is fair, but, its context isnt. but for the time it was conducted, it seems to be appropriate
An oz of coke a day?!?!?!? That is an INSANE AMOUNT. Kinda hard to believe. No way he was doin that to his head, his people must have been livin the life too
Yeah he actually said that after breaking Joe Thiesmans leg on a Monday night football game in1985. I was watching this game while It happened. It was so violent I think ABC only showed the replay once. I saw it as it happened and I swear I heard it break. Also that's when you could hear LT say God damm when he stood up after the play. I think you may be able to see the video somewhere. Joe never played another NFL game again.
Roberto Masensi my father has passed I wish I could ask, but from what my mother told me it was very wild and I’m sure drugs were involved haha. Life of the party I’m sure!

Only once? I have a very hard time believing that, the stuff has a very high like-ability and it's always: "Just one more."
@ROE JOGAN DMT APOCALYPSE so do I..they just had strong will power!
No shit all I wanna do when i smoke crack is chain smoke cigarettes....
LMAO "he chased cocaine the way the chased quarterbacks"
Maybe in his mind.. The more he gets to the QB... the more he gets cocaine
I feel sorry for his dealers! He must have dragged/beat them down and took their coke! LOL
Bill Belichick LMAOOO
Bill Belichick like deebo
I can just imagine an unsuspecting dealer standing in a crack alley, and here comes LT running around the corner like it's an offensive tackle, heading straight for his head
Such an amazing man. No one cares that you fall down, all they care about is how you get back up.
What do you mean an amazing man? He’s done amazing things, but Lawrence Taylor is an ass hole, I met him in a hotel lobby when I was 15 or 16 and asked if I could get a picture with him and he went on to scream at me no and he’s not in the mood.

Joseph Stinson he was High , chill
Joseph Stinson that is crazy man but I’m not sure how old you are now, but he was likely on drugs and that will turn you into a completely different person
U said that backwards
@@josephstinson4291 do crack and coke gives u a cocky rush it wasn’t him trust me if it was him clear headed he would’ve been a nice dude
Wow! I almost cried by what his son said. Regardless of his faults he must have been a good father.
He son looked past the drug’s.
I definitely teared up on that one.
Lawrence Chased quarterbacks for 3 hours a week.. but his demons chased him twenty-four hours a day
Yeah they did.
They do for all of us.
That letter from his son made me well up a little. Anyone who has had a drug addiction knows how painful it is to hear that. Even after all the fuck-up mistakes you made a son is still offering unconditional love when you weren't there for him a lot of the time because you were busy being strung out on dope....

Imagine the pain of letting down your kids due to drugs.. I would break down in tears just like that
I'm 46 years old,been a Giants fan since the 80's. Best defensive player I ever saw.
I saw a highlight of him literally grabbing a quarterback from behind with one hand, hoisting him off the ground, and tossing him to the turf like a sack of potatoes.
With one hand.
Drugs or no drugs my favorite athlete of all time!!
That’s very very unfortunate
IRON60 BITCH many others feel the same way hate to break it to you.
@@iron60bitch62 how is that unfortunate???? LT was the best defensive player ever, especially for real giants fans LT is their idol lollllll
Overrated prefer TJWatt!
@@omni-man4624that bum doesn’t isn’t in the same stratosphere
Respect to LT drugs can rule your life but he still has heart
"Well, ya gotta understand though...it didn't affect my play." Loll
A crackhead on the field? Yeah that would definitely be scary lmfao
First take brought me here 😂😂😂 bro was doin lines pregame 😂😂
Oscar Romero and people be hating on my boy josh

Me and alot of teammates would do linez before games... Lol we were pretty darn good to
I bee thinking the same bro..
"I'm not sure about the crying part"
*five minutes later*
Sobbing and sniffling
His son was talk about his dad that's why....
I was thinking the same thing then I dropped a couple tears with him.
Met him once and told him he inspired me to get clean and he hugged me and we got choked up.
Lawrence is the kind of guy who would literally beat the shit out of himself for crying. Great guy. Go giants
Ahh men and they're neverending self sabotage
Best football player to ever play the game.. You will never see another Lawrence Taylor
3:41 what he meant to say before he corrected himself was " they was gonna lock my ass up"
"A Hall of Famer never quits.
hall of famer realizes the crime is not being knocked the crime is not getting up again."
Damn
LT is a legend..we love you man..
The craziest/toughest people have the best hearts , and the softest people have the worst hearts
Throwing people in jail for drug use is a crime itself.If they do stupid harmful shit while their high book them for that but getting high alone no way.

Seriously, this guy is like Captain America if Captain America was a crack head:
Short-term effects of cocaine:
Loss of appetite
Increased heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature
Contracted blood vessels
Increased rate of breathing
Dilated pupils
Disturbed sleep patterns
Nausea
Hyperstimulation
Bizarre, erratic, sometimes violent behavior
Hallucinations, hyperexcitability, irritability
Tactile hallucination that creates the illusion of bugs burrowing under the skin
Intense euphoria
Anxiety and paranoia
Depression
Intense drug craving
Panic and psychosis
Convulsions, seizures and sudden death from high doses (even one time)
Long-term effects of cocaine:
Permanent damage to blood vessels of heart and brain
High blood pressure, leading to heart attacks, strokes, and death
Liver, kidney and lung damage
Destruction of tissues in nose if sniffed
Respiratory failure if smoked
Infectious diseases and abscesses if injected
Malnutrition, weight loss
Severe tooth decay
Auditory and tactile hallucinations
Sexual problems, reproductive damage and infertility (for both men and women)
Disorientation, apathy, confused exhaustion
Irritability and mood disturbances
Increased frequency of risky behavior
Delirium or psychosis
Severe depression
Tolerance and addiction (even after just one use)
thats what i thought when i heard about this guy. he maintained his size going thru ounces of crack. OUNCES lmao wtf
"Captain America if he was a crackhead" made me lose it 🤣💯
This is to your point about him being a freak of nature, when he was at UNC he would play pickup hoops with the UNC basketball team and I've heard all of them say he could've played in the NBA. Another crazy thing is that he didn't start playing football until his senior year of highschool. You are right he is the man!!
Seriously, why did he have to read that letter to him. The man has been through enough with his family.
I’m a Redskins fan and I respected this dude.
Absolute legend, best of all time!
This shows how powerful vulnerability is.
If he denied his drug abuse, we would demonize him.
SUCH A PURE FACT!
I love it. To everyone dealing with addiction, keep up the fight. ✊✊✊✊
I cried out for God after seeing this. God lives in our children. Love them.
The 5-Star Review 2018 I’ve met some of yalls kids and I seriously doubt this. But nice sentiment anyway. Wish it were true.
Battling addiction and also kicking ass every week. His mind must’ve been all over the place. Still, he was the best ever.
I'm here because I Love Lawrence Taylor
The only way this can be beat you have to asked The only Mighty God to take it away from you and you do the work from there and you will be clean for ever as long as you walk and talk to God every day of your life to the end.
Aaron Gilliam because he gives us free agency to choose what we want and another thing I know cause I had this problem and that’s been over 25 years ago and I’m still clean do to God.
Aaron Gilliam I also don’t need to prove this to you or anyone else just leading those who needs help and it’s up to them to ask God if they want it.

- All the best
He was an absolute wrecking ball on the field as a junkie. I can't imagine how good he'd be if he'd been clean and clear headed while playing.
I think you underestimate stimulants by a lot. I take vyvanse and at some doses it makes you feel like Superman. I can only imagine what Coke does
@@thegreatest9173 watch mike tysons coke fueled fight

Once met Lawrence didn’t want to talk about football. Shrugged me off. Put his earphones on and that was it. Big guy menacing looking
You should have gave him a rock 😂
Could you imagine being a coach and you the team is playing in LA and you have to go into a rolling 60s hood to get him outta a rock house at 3am because you all have a game
I know the feeling Lawrence.
The greatest player that play the game that change the game
The Mike Tyson of the NFL
At least he's keeping it real!
Love this guy so much i have 2 authentic jerseys of LT 1986 1990 SUPER BOWL SEASON JERSEYS I STILL LOVE THIS MAN HE CAN BE AN ATTIC 4EVER HE STILL THE GREATEST LINEBACKER EVER PERIOD 💙
As a former crack addict I can vouch that it's the devil in a rock! I begging you with my every fiber in my being don't ever try it!!!!

This generation will never no the maning to the anaimal behind the name LT
are you 7? because if you are that old how do you not know how to spell animal
I agree withyou Randall Aufrecht @ LT the great n.f.l. linebacker #56 Lawrence Taylor , bigblue n.y.giants great .
I can’t help but love LT⚡️ .
He’s the genuine article
LT is the GOAT with or without cocaine.
Artie lange brought me here
I dont do drugs....but if I could do drugs with anyone it would be the LEGEND LT!!!
Addiction is a powerful thing I just beat mine🎉
Gad Damnit! LT is the man and always will be
Remember him on Water Boy?

Any given Sunday...watching this interview I realize he wasn’t acting in the movie. Beast !
And so that brings us to our next point: don't smoke crack.
Would rather smoke and be the greatest player of all time than a loser living in my parents house,not doing anything productive and jacking off to pornhub all day.

Pretty sure he had guys to make pickups for him. He prolly paid them outta his stash.
Never underestimate the power of a substance. Everyone's body's different
Exactly; think of what hunger feels like. You can’t wait for food. Drug cravings are like those times 100
All the muscles throughout the body tense up demanding more of the drug.
Cocaine is a helluva drug😂
Best to ever play the position 💯
The signature god damn it
&Kenny the Jet Smith right!
I love you man. LT the goat!
He definitely has CTE speech
“Lawrence you are a legend”
Chuckles “I know”
😂
He did the R Kelly spin when he was talking to Gayle King
Scared as hell a cracked up lt comin at me I’m done
Reality show ahead of its ⏲️ time
Anyone else here from the Anything Better podcast?
is there anything better than finding the video Paul and Bill are referencing so you have a better appreciation for their jokes about it?
Definitely not the first time we heard LT say "God damnit"

lol he could barely remember how many kids he had.
He is such a hero!
It didn’t affect my play is wild
“ it didn’t affect my play” bro litalry had 2 forced fumbles 5 tackles with a broken pec
Super heroes are people too
So uhh does cocaine count as a PED?
Sorry Mike! You blew it! He was simply the best!
Addiction is hard.
There ought to be a Hall of Fame for fathers.
So what you’re telling me is he could’ve been even better?
Is it crack cocaine or powder
Crack
Lawrence Taylor Junior is in prison for the same crime that his father committed think about it
Yep, do you know how much time he got? I also think the victims were family, his cousins, do you know if that's correct?
I'm smoking crack watching this
wondering how i got here
Ima have to try some coke next time I’m at a uw party! Hahaha I’ve turned it down too many times gotta see what the hype is about.
He high in this interview lmao
When you put down the rock there is always part of you that knows its not forever
he come at the right time be get 5 for 49 😂😂😂
kids sacked him with the feels
Cocaine is one hell of a drug
I played HS football better on coke they should legalize it
He was high in the interview prolly
Save me the fake tears
