Lawrence Phillips is (still) a worthless human being
What a piece of shit.
Phillips arrested; also wanted for domestic violence AP/ ESPN LOS ANGELES -- Former NFL running back Lawrence Phillips, who was wanted by police for domestic violence, was arrested Sunday after allegedly running his car into three teenagers who argued with him during a pickup football game, police said. Police had been seeking Phillips since earlier this month for allegedly attacking his girlfriend twice, once choking her into unconsciousness. Phillips joined a group of 16- and 17-year-olds in a pickup football game in Exposition Park on Sunday and got into an argument with several of the teens, said Los Angeles police officer Sandra Escalante. He left the park, but returned and drove a black Honda onto the field, allegedly running into three teenage boys, she said. The teenagers were taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said. The car Phillips was driving was reported stolen in San Diego earlier in the week, Escalante said. Phillips was arrested and held on the domestic violence felony warrant. Charges are pending in the Sunday incident, she said. San Diego Police had offered a $1,000 reward for information leading to Phillips' whereabouts, and said he had indicated he wouldn't surrender peacefully. The first domestic assault, in which police say Phillips' 28-year-old girlfriend was choked, allegedly occurred Aug. 2 at her San Diego home. Police said the second assault allegedly took place 11 days later when Phillips confronted the woman at a party. In both cases he left the scene before officers could arrest him. Police have said Phillips is also wanted on an outstanding felony warrant from Los Angeles for an unrelated domestic violence case. The former University of Nebraska star has a history of high-profile trouble with the law going back a decade to his time as one of the nation's top college football players. He was drafted sixth overall in 1996 by the St. Louis Rams despite pleading no contest to a charge of domestic violence in a confrontation with a girlfriend. He was released for insubordination in 1997 after 25 games with the Rams. Phillips signed with the Miami Dolphins later in the 1997 season, but was released after pleading no contest to hitting a woman in a nightclub. He was the top offensive player in NFL Europe in 1999 after setting league records for rushing and touchdowns with the Barcelona Dragons. He signed with the San Francisco 49ers in 1999, but was released for missing a practice. He later played in the Canadian Football League.

RE: Lawrence Phillips is (still) a worthless human being
I wondered if anyone would post this. I almost did myself, but I was so aggravated at this guy that I thought I'd apss. What a tool he is. He pissed away one of the most amazing skill sets that I ever saw. It's sad that he couldn't have had better leadership in his early years. The guy deserves no further breaks. Ugh.

Lawrence Phillips convicted of assault, faces prison
Associated Press LOS ANGELES -- Former NFL and Nebraska running back Lawrence Phillips was convicted Tuesday of seven counts of assault with a deadly weapon for driving a car at a group of young men, injuring three. The 31-year-old Phillips drove onto a field near Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum after losing a pickup football game on Aug. 21, 2005. He struck two boys, ages 14 and 15, and a 19-year-old man and narrowly missed four others between 15 and 24 years old, according to the prosecutor. The three who were struck sustained "severe bumps and bruises and cuts," Deputy District Attorney Todd Hicks said. A Los Angeles Superior Court jury deliberated about an hour before finding Phillips guilty, Hicks said. Phillips faces up to 20 years in state prison. A sentencing date is expected to be set Oct. 19. The prosecutor told jurors that Phillips became agitated when his team fell behind in the pickup game. He left the field, accused the boys of stealing from him and drove onto the field at a high rate of speed, Hicks said. Defense attorney Leslie Ringold argued that her client's actions were neither willful nor intentional and said there was "woefully insufficient evidence of assault." She said the car Phillips was driving first hit the front wheel of a bike and fishtailed. Phillips was arrested that day and has remained jailed since. He has a history of trouble with the law, going back a decade to his time as one of the nation's top college football players. The St. Louis Rams released him for insubordination in 1997 after he played 25 games with them. Phillips signed with the Miami Dolphins later in the 1997 season but was released after pleading no contest to hitting a woman in a nightclub. Phillips was the top offensive player in NFL Europe in 1999 after setting league records for rushing and touchdowns with the Barcelona Dragons. He signed with the San Francisco 49ers later that year but was released for missing a practice. He has also played in the Canadian Football League.

A pick-up game with teenagers is a long, long way from the NFL. How tragic.

Isn't this the guy that missed the block so Aeneas Williams had a clear shot at Steve Young on that Monday night Niners vs. Cards game? It led to Steve Young sustaining a concussion that ended his career

Aside from the obvious personality problems that he has always had, how does a guy as talented as him lose a pickup football game to kids in HS?
