Quote Lawrence Phillips' sad tale came to a tragic end on Wednesday. The troubled former NFL running back was found dead in prison, according to a press release from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Phillips was 40. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/former-nfl-running-back-lawrence-phillips-found-dead-in-prison-182813880.html Title: Re: Former Star RB Dead in Prison Post by: ricky023 on January 13, 2016, 01:42:23 PM This is sad and I pray for peace in the family.

This guy had some major anger/violence issues & was basically out-of-control. The reality of life in prison & him being under the control of the State was too much for him to handle.

He was Mr. Big at Nebraska and sometimes winning is the more important factor in a program. We are so lucky to have CNS and his beliefs in the character of a player. |
