was a real joy to watch...watched a show one time where it was said he would send escorts to visiting players rooms night before the game so the players would be tired next day after partying all night...I think he just cared

I know no one could block him...so yeah he was a game changer. Arguably the best of all time at his position!

Watching LT was kinda like watching Mo, you knew you would probably never see their likes again.

We could sure use him now.

offenses had to specifically gameplan against LT. He was a huge game changer.
Had a knack for making the big play when it was needed.
Redefined the outside linebacker position..and LT could not be defended.
Enjoyed watching him play his entire career from start to finish -- - a Beast of a player on the field !!!!!!

Difference between LT and Mariano is that one is a class act family man, and the other is divorced drug addict that sleeps with underage prostitutes.

I like them both.

The greatest defensive player of all time. He Changed the game of football. Before L.T, Offensive Tackles were big fat guys just like the Offensive Guards. He forced Offensive Tackles of the future to have to be athletic as well to handle the pass rush. That's where we got the Jonathon Ogden, Orlando Pace, Walter Jones's from.
