Lawrence Taylor Proud of His Hits on the Field, Regrets Pain He Caused Off It

Taylor, a Giants Hall of Fame linebacker, is no fan of the new N.F.L. “Once upon a time you had to be physical; You don’t have to do it no more,” Taylor said during a recent interview. “The game has gotten to a point where anybody can play it.” (New York Times)
