Lawrence Taylor, a $300 Jailbait Hooker and a Pimp Named ‘Rasheed’ Walk Into a Tabloid Scandal . . .

Posted on | May 9, 2010 | 2 Comments

OK, I probably should have continued to ignore the statutory rape prosecution of NFL legend Lawrence Taylor, but I just happened to see this story at the New York Post:

The teenage hooker allegedly raped by Lawrence Taylor in a sleazy Rockland County hotel room told The Post yesterday about how her alleged pimp brutally forced her to have sex with the Giants great after she initially refused.
“I told him I wasn’t going to the hotel, and he said, ‘You’re f—ing this up, it’s $300,” the frightened Bronx girl, 16, said Rasheed Davis, 36, screamed at her early Thursday. . . .
Davis then dragged her to the Holiday Inn to meet with the Hall of Fame linebacker, barking instructions at her along the way, she recalled.

Wait a minute. You’re Lawrence Taylor, considered by many football commentators to be the greatest linebacker in the history of the game, and you’re meeting a pimp named Rasheed at a Holiday Inn to pay $300 for a hooker from the Bronx?

Entirely leaving aside the moral and legal issues surrounding LT’s situation . . . Dude. What’s with the bargain-basement approach here?

Yeah, sure, Tiger Woods shagged cocktail waitresses and other low-rent bimbos, but those were freebies. An entirely different calculus applies, if you’re actually going to pay for it. Prostitution is one market in which shopping for discounts probably isn’t a good idea.

Maybe LT’s investments took a hit in recession, but he’s still got his NFL pension. If the guy just can’t do without hookers, he would certainly be better off cutting back on the quantity, rather than sacrificing quality.

Better to do it twice a year with $2,000-a-night high-end call-girls, than to do it once a month with $300-a-night Bronx girls from Skanks-R-Us.

Call it the “Eliot Spitzer Rule.”

But don’t take my word for it, LT. Just ask the New York Post‘s advice columnist. She’s an expert, you know.

    LT was one of the most fearsome football players of all time, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t also a severely flawed individual. In fact, with the stuff he was doing while playing, it’s even more amazing he was able to turn in all-world-class performances for so long.

    The guy was in and out of rehab more than Robert Downey, Jr., Amy Winehouse, and Lindsay Lohan combined, and had more anonymous sex partners than Amanda Marcotte (granted, he has had more years in the game, but in our patriarchal society it is only a matter of time before AM goes all Maureen Dowd and becomes the pathetic, wrinkled, hoarse, aging cougar on the bar stool at the corner, at which point her numbers will slow down considerably).

    He consorts with hookers and pimps because that’s the class of people he dealt with for cocaine. My guess is he is using again, too.

    Too bad. I hoped he had finally cleaned up his act. I pray he starts again right now.
