If you saw this headline on ESPN:
“Ex-NFL running back runs into teens with stolen car”
you may at first wonder who the former running back could be. But it probably wouldn’t take very long for you to say to yourself, “Duh, it’s gotta be Lawrence Phillips.”
And, of course, you’d be right. Phillips was arrested Sunday after allegedly running a car, which had been reported as stolen earlier in the week, into three teenagers who argued with him during a pickup football game. Even better, police had been looking for Phillips for almost a month for allegedly attacking his girlfriend twice, once choking her into unconsciousness.
Dude….
How depressing would it be to be Lawrence Phillips? You watch guys like LaDainian Tomlinson and Edgerrin James make millions and millions of dollars playing a game, and you know that you had more than enough talent to be doing the exact same thing. Instead, you’re choking your girl and playing in a pick-up football game with a bunch of high school kids. I’d love to know what those kids said to Phillips to set him off. It was probably something like, “Dude, what the fuck are you doing here?”
