Found unresponsive in his lone cell in Kern Valley State Prison in CA, the once great Nebraska running back and NFL washout, Lawrence Phillips, is suspected of taking his own life.
Serving 31 years for choking his girlfriend and hitting three teens with his car, Mr. Phillips was facing a murder prosecution for the death of his prison roommate, Damion Soward.
Epitaph anyone?
The hadn’t even updated his Wiki page at the time of this writing.
Here lies Lawrence Phillips
He dindu nuffins!!!
Well. . . Bye.
Whatever…
So much talent wasted. I watched him shred and destroy the Michigan State Spartan defense back in the day.
Here lies a nice guy – – a nice guy who assaulted women, hit people with his car, and killed people.
Does it matter?
He was turning his life around.
He should have been named De’Shauntrae. It must be tough as a black man going through life named Lawrence.
Will the BLM crowd blame the Kern Valley State Prison? . California can certainly afford another law suit and a big payout
to the grieving family.
Here lies Lawrence….God gave him skills that should’ev been a free pass ….he decided instead to keep hammerin’ his head ….and now he’s just a dumb deadass…
Here lies the bad-ass Phillips,
Faced the world on HIS terms:
Now he’s bench-pressin’ tulips…
And share-croppin’ worms.
Lawrence lived with little fear. Now he says, “It’s hot down here!”
He could’a been somebody
What a waste. Saw him play at Nebraska and thought he was a hell of a RB.
Just goes to show the environment we’re a product of looms large in our lives. This is way giving people free sh*t is a waste of money, you’ll never end their poverty because they don’t know how to help themselves.
