Description On the football field, hewas an explosive force; a mold- breaking and bone-crushing linebackerwho wreaked havoc on offenses each Sunday. But off the field, the furythat made Lawrence Taylor a Hall of Fame player put him on a runawayblitz to self-destruction. LT:: Over the Edge is a smash-mouth memoirby one of the game's greatest players, an unsparing look at the giantof all Giants whose struggle with a cocaine habit was the only thing inhis life he couldn't tackle with ease. Raw and uncut, Taylor tells ofhis life from a small townin Virginia to becoming the most dominantdefensive player of all time. Through a record ten straight All-Proseasons, LT led the New York Giants to two Super Bowl victories, alongthe way revolutionizing the outside linebacker position. But the brightlights of Giants Stadium were nothing compared to the even brighterlights of New York City, where the King of the NFL held court all nightlong, fueled by booze, drugs, sex, and his own sense of invincibility.Twice suspended from the league for substance abuse, Taylor walked awayfrom the white lines of the football field to the far more alluringwhite lines of New York drug culture. Not one week after his retirementin 1993, he was on vacation and binging on coke. And so began anendless blur of years of all-nighters, prostitutes, and cripplingparanoia that ended his marriage and very nearly cost him his life. Butafter several arrests, with the Hall of Fame beckoning, Lawrence Taylorfinally stared down his toughest opponent -- himself -- entered rehab,and got clean. In 1999, in his first year of eligibility, he wasinducted into the Hall of Fame -- the man who had raised hell on andoff the field had lived through it all.
