The episode begins with a discussion about four plays that shaped the Cowboys 40-0 win over the New York Giants, the largest shutout win in franchise history. Next, we discuss my adventures with Lawrence Taylor and Eric Dickerson, a couple of Hall of Fame players and we finish up with a discussion I had with Coach Prime.

Born in Williamsburg, Va., Lawrence Taylor took his late-blooming but immense football talents to Chapel Hill, N.C. and became one of the greatest college football players in history while suiting up for the North Carolina Tar Heels. Taylor laid the foundation for his legendary career in college. What he did for the New York Giants in the NFL solidified that beyond compare. LT's impact was immediate as he is the only player in NFL history to win Defensive Rookie of the Year and NFL Defensive Player of the Year in his first season in the league. The defensive force won an NFL record three Defensive Player of the Year awards and won the NFL MVP Award in 1986, joining Alan Page, who accomplished the feat in 1971. No defensive player has done it since. Taylor, who will be signing autographs at The National in Atlantic City, was named a Pro Bowler in each of his 10 seasons in the league, first-team All-Pro in eight and second team in the other two. A two-time Super Bowl champion with the Giants Big Blue Wrecking Crew, Taylor solidified his status as a champion and a winner at the highest level. A member of the 1980s NFL All Decade Team and the NFL 75th Anniversary Team, as well as the NFL's 100th Anniversary Team, Taylor is considered the single greatest defensive football player in league history. LT revolutionized the way the linebacker position was played. He was solely responsible for a complete change in defensive game plans, as well as offensive game plans, and his impact is still felt in today's game. In this exclusive interview with Tony, LT talks about seeing his rookie cards, his beautiful, bold signature, what his kids ended up doing with his cards and much more.
