Lawrence Taylor Football Quotations

People get hurt all the time in the game of football, it's part of what we do.

There were probably about five games in my career where everything was moving in slow motion and you could be out there all day, totally in the zone, and you don't even know where you are on the field, everything is just totally blocked out.

Taking them out of the picture, so to speak, what football really is, the savagery, the core root of football, it doesn't change. It really puts the real in football.

In football, you can always maim a person if you wanted to.

Football is not part of that lifestyle anymore.

When you get old, everything is hurting. When I get up in the morning, it sounds like I'm making popcorn.

I'll tell you, there were only a few games in my career where I was totally oblivious to everything around me, where I was in the zone.

All you can do is put your story out there enough times and hope that a couple will understand that no matter what type of athlete you are - there were no athletes better than I was, there was no one who had more going for him than I did, there was no athlete stronger mentally than I was.

Football is not a game for the weak of heart, because every day you've got a hundred reasons to take all those pads off and say, 'F-k it.'
