The guy has been in jail longer than he was in the NFL. A lot longer.

Isn’t he the guy who brutalized his girlfriend and Tom Osborne didn’t even slap his wrist hard.

I once admired Osborne but no longer.

This was Nebraska’s answer to win National Championships. The started recruiting the inner city youth from LA County and it paid off in the Win column. Then Colorado started doing this and had the same success (Rae Carruth).

Unfortunately some of these student athletes had problems with the law and once in college the only thing they had to worry about was winning at all costs. As for Nebraska the whole Lawrence Phillips thing is not indicative of the program Tom Osborne had built on the backs of their traditional home grown student athletes.

Suspected? Two guys locked in a cell, one is murdered I definitely would suspect the other guy.

“Suspected? Two guys locked in a cell, one is murdered I definitely would suspect the other guy.”

Two guys in an elevator and one guy farts, everybody knows who did it.

He’s doing 7 and then 25 already. This’ll buy him a room for the rest of his life.

“Phillips is suspected of killing 37-year-old Damion Soward at Kern Valley State Prison in April. Officials determined Soward was strangled”

“He was convicted of choking his girlfriend”

I detect a pattern here.
