Another piece of non-NFL football game news (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/sports/blitztheleague/news_6129484.html) has bubbled to the surface. Midway has signed former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor as spokesperson and cover athlete for Blitz:The League. In addition L.T. will voice on of the game's main characters, Quentin Sands.

Here's a bit about the game's premise.
Blitz: The League is an extension of the hard-hitting NFL Blitz series, but with an entirely fictitious league and players. Without the constraints of the NFL hanging over it, the game is squarely focused on everything that the country's most popular professional organized sport doesn't want you to see: bone-crushing hits, in-your-face celebrations, and drug use.

Thanks to Gamespot (http://www.gamespot.com/) for the tip.

Drug use? If I remember right, didn't L.T. get busted for smoking crack?

Paternity law-suits, shrunken testicles, rape, player strikes...

Check out the trailer. I love the dirty plays this game has lined up.

Rip off the running back's helmet and smack him with it.
Dive at the QB for a sack, but take out his leg instead.

The action reminds me of the original Blitz, which I loved.

Yes, he suffered from a cocaine addiction. He tried to cure it with golf. Well, that is like trying to cure drug addiction with golf! I mean, alright I cannot think of a more incredulous metaphor.

I agree, there are no educated drug addicts.

I'm really looking forward to this game. I loved Playmakers and am glad to see it continuing (at least in spirit) with Blitz: The League. I wondered if anyone could make a worthwhile football game after EA bought every license there was, and I'm glad to see Midway pursuing something new and interesting.

Only if you're about 15. If you were around in the '80s, L.T. will never mean LaDainian Tomlinson.

I would have to say he's the San Diego Chargers all-time best running back. Also, one of the more under-rated backs today. He's good, damn good.
