The H word.
You've got a lot of words.
Well, Brian and I have lamented that there should be only one LT who's getting enshrined into Canton, Ohio, and that is Lawrence Taylor.
Sorry.
And then there's LaDainian Tomlinson.
He's a great โ he's an all-time great, but he's not the first LT.
He's not the first LT.
They'll both end up in โ
LT's probably in.
Both LT's are probably in.
And whoever got there first is grandfathered in with the nickname into the Hall of Fame.
Now, so the reason we do this is because there's confusion because they both played professional football.
They didn't play in the league at the same time, but they didn't miss by too many years.
And when people start talking about an LT type move or something like that, we're not totally sure who we're talking about.
Thus, we have names and titles.
That one I've always known is a byproduct of the person's first name being LaDainian.
If his first name was Larry, there wouldn't be a problem with it.
People who are announcing football games don't want to yell LaDainian because they think they're going to screw it up.
And like they do with these guys from Serbia or something, they just give them nicknames because no one wants to say Vanoslancek, you know, like over and over again.
