“I can let you know after we have been lining as much as exit to be launched as the highest 100 gamers,” Banks stated on the Bleavin Giants podcast, “And a man who by no means actually feedback on video games as a result of he doesn’t watch a lot of them, was Lawrence Taylor.
“He checked out me and this can be a true story, people. If you wish to know what we have been considering at halftime, Lawrence checked out me and stated, “Carl, I may choose 22 of us proper now and exit and play higher than these guys. We’d win this sport.’ And the youngest man in that like was most likely 50 years previous.”
Hyperbole? In all probability not as a lot as some would wish to consider.
“Lawrence Taylor checked out me and stated, ‘I can get 22 of us and go on the market proper now and whoop these guys (expletive),” Banks stated.
Not too long ago voted the most effective participant in Giants historical past, Taylor isn’t brief on confidence and depth. He undoubtedly believes what he stated and the unhappy actuality is, it’s most likely nearer to true than not. And that’s a extremely unhappy indictment about the place the group at present is.
