Former NFL player Lawrence Taylor busted in hit-and-run

Authorities in Florida said former Giants great Lawrence Taylor (mug shot shown below) was busted last night for taking off after he was involved in a car accident.

Taylor, 50, was booked into jail at 9:57 p.m. and released a short time later on $500 bond.

The crash happened about 6:30 p.m. in the northbound lanes of the Palmetto Expressway at Northwest 103rd Street, authorities said.

The crash tore off the front right tire on Taylor's 2009 Cadillac Escalade, and he drove about two miles on the axle before pulling off the road, authorities said.

“There was significant damage to his car,” said Lt. James Durden of the Florida Highway Patrol.

Does this mean Nutri-System will drop him from their TV commercials? We can always hope...

Nutri-System ads with Dan Marino and others were tolerable. But when they added Lawrence Taylor, it made us glad to have a TV remote clicker handy.
