Lawrence Phillips found dead in cell

[GNG]

Yeah sure, you just like to idolize women beaters.

You're the one that thinks he's a boy scout.

 

[GNG]

Quoting everyone's posts and posting something negative about a guy who just died (and whose story you likely don't even know) is being a jackass.

It's just being honest.

It's just being honest.

And you've made your point. No need to chime in whenever anybody says something. I get how people think he was just a shitty person. I just think there's more than meets the eye.

He didn't go to prison for jaywalking.

Did you even read any of my posts telling what I thought of that bonehead?

its why i never judge someone when they die. its between God and them and I don't know their full story

 

[BigRedMoe]

It may sound simplistic, but he was given more chances and opportunities for help than most so I don't feel sorry for him. Condolences to his family.

Thankfully no...

Gotta be depressing to live every day knowing you've thrown it all away. With time ticking by to the point that you realize you can never get it back.

Yes, so sad. You just wonder what goes through a person's mind like Phillips when they have so much God given talent, but then they just self-destruct.

RIP LP
One of the best RB's ever at N...

RIP LP. I wish very much that in his next life that his soul finds peace. It's very tragic knowing that kids grow up they way LP. I am very blessed in that I had and still have a loving family that I know I can lean on. Don't take anything for granted and count your blessings no mater how little you make think they are. I've got to know all of you on here and from what I can tell you are all great people and I think it is because you was raised by great people. So again I hope your soul finfs peace LP thanks for the memories.

Yes, I believe there is more than meets the eye. The dude was a product of his environment, likely never had any meaningful relationship(s) in his life and not knowing how to develop any and able to maintain any course of stability. Truly many strikes against him.

He was a talented running back for sure.

I told him he was the one who idolized women beaters. What got me to reply to the meathead in the first place was when he called LP another Nebraska success story.

Have you read his letters to his former coaches?

If not, I think you'd appreciate them. (I forgot where I read them or Id post the link here. (One coach he wrote was already quoted in this thread.)

It's too bad he didn't respect the program when he was still playing at Nebraska.
