ProjectPat Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 This guy could be the biggest screw-up of all time. From ProFootballTalk.com Lawrence Phillips gets 31 years Posted by Mike Florio on December 18, 2009 6:13 PM ET Former NFL running back Lawrence Phillips, one of the biggest top-ten first-round busts of all time, has been sentenced to more than 31 years in prison for attacking his girlfriend, and for driving his car into three teens, according to the Associated Press. The incidents occurred in 2005. Phillips was the sixth overall pick in the 1996 draft, eight spots before Eddie George was selected by the Titans. The quick collapse of Phillips' career makes the franchise's ability to win a Super Bowl only three years later even more amazing.

Lawrence Phillips is exhibit A - dumb human.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 It wasn't long ago that he was deciding between the Bills and the Niners over what team to sign with. Looks like we dodged that bullet.
The_Philster Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 It wasn't long ago that he was deciding between the Bills and the Niners over what team to sign with. Looks like we dodged that bullet. Yeah, I still can't believe Butler was going after that loser

Good ol' Larry Ladykiller. There were people on this board who were emphatic about wanting the Bills to sign him, too.
RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Good ol' Larry Ladykiller. There were people on this board who were emphatic about wanting the Bills to sign him, too. Indeed... many of the same people who today make fun of searching for "character."
silvermike Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 I mean, if we had signed him, he would have crapped out and been cut without too much fanfare at the end of the season. It's not like he's a legend in San Francisco.
aristocrat Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 he's the reason steve young retired right? steve young getting ktfo on monday night?
CarolinaBill Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 you know he tried to run over those teens in his SUV over losing in a FLAG FOOTBALL GAME!!!! He is getting everything he deserves. Grade A MORON
jester43 Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 imagine if he had been thrown from the back of a pickup and killed while trying to beat the **** out of his girlfriend. then everyone here would love him.
ConradDobler Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Yeah, I still can't believe Butler was going after that loser "A fine young man."
KD in CA Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Good sentence. Sub-humans like this belong in a cage forever.
Big Turk Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 that's a lot of hard time. I bet big bubba has something "hard" waiting for him...
bluv Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 imagine if he had been thrown from the back of a pickup and killed while trying to beat the **** out of his girlfriend. then everyone here would love him. piss-poor twist at political humor! What if that was your son who died; no matter how big of an @$$hole he could have been you'd feel sadden. So save your comments and show some compassion for once in your life!
Leonidas Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Good ol' Larry Ladykiller. There were people on this board who were emphatic about wanting the Bills to sign him, too. What do you mean 'were'? Bring him in for a workout! He'll get parole...eventually. Trade Lynch and Parrish for a fourth and let Phillips split carries with Jackson! Get 'er done!
Tcali Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Does this mean he's no longer a candidate for the Bills' HC job? hehe...made me chuckle...
BillsZubaz Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 piss-poor twist at political humor! What if that was your son who died; no matter how big of an @$$hole he could have been you'd feel sadden. So save your comments and show some compassion for once in your life! I for one feel terrible for his friends and family. BUT it bothers me how the media and the NFL are painting a picture of him as a remodeled human being. I believe Marvin Lewis referred to him as a "beacon of light." Now this young man may very well have been making strides in reforming his behavior, but he clearly wasn't there yet. This is a tragic story, but something that he brought upon himself. The way the media is portraying him is downright irresponsible...

So save your comments and show some compassion for once in your life! nothing political about despising wifebeaters. they are vermin. if i had my choice the guy wouldn't have died, but it is hard for me to feel sympathy given that he was attempting to commit a crime at the time. how would you feel about chris henry's death if it was your daughter behind the wheel of that truck?
