Lawrence Taylor Turned Tricks

The Corsair is in Boston now, don't ask us why. After the turkey, the triptophan and the family, he is in full pundit mode (or as the cool Michael Hirschorn might say, talent-mode), pondering deeply the issue of Lawrence Taylor, who has admitted to sending call girls to the hotel rooms of opposing team players to wipe them out before the big game.

Apparently, contingent upon payment, said ladies of the evening were ordered to give the poor saps a "full night" of, um, athleticism. Holey moley, thinks The Corsair, jaded, with only the faintest whiffs of snark implied: And this nugget is airing on the prestigious 60 Minutes, of all venues. What is the media coming to?

"You know what they like and what type of women they like and you just call the service," Taylor tells the ancient, pharaonic Mike Wallace.

The Corsair believes that this is a stroke of evil genius right out of Sun Tsu and cannot decide whether this story is a worthy object of opprobrium or mirth.

Alls fair in love and football.
