Lawrence Philipps did play on the undisputed greatest college football team in history.

Something horrible must have happened to him when he was a child. He was a ward of the state at 11.

The only surprise here is that the charges that sent him to prison weren’t reduced to misdemeanors and he was sentenced to 10 years of no-show probation like Michael Irvin.
