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.
Now tell me -- What the hell could a couple of teenagers have done or said that meritted trying to run them down? But then again, why ask? He has a string of arrests for abusing women that date back to his college days.
I remember the day this cretin was drafted by the St. louis Rams, recently announced to be coming to the city near what was then my home. I was shocked and disgusted, as was my wife. We both knew that he was unlikely to have the discipline to use his talents to their fullest -- and that even if he did, he would be simply one more example of the thugification of popular culture.
I've watched as his every move has borne out my worst expectations and more.
Go to jail, Lawrence Phillips. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.
You had better start praying that your jailhouse daddy treats his bitches better than you did yours.

Tom Osborne -- Republican Conservative fool from Nebraska!

Of course, YOU will exonerate Tom Osborne of his decisions to preserve the fool in order to win the national championships.
So much for "conservatism beliefs", honey.

My point was to talk about the current incident and how he continues to make a hash of what should have been a successful life.
Now, had I been writing about the decade old incident from his colleged days, you might have a point -- but since i was writing about the incident today, you really don't.
And as I said above -- I have no defence to offer the former coach/current congressman, regardless of his politics. But since i wasn't writing about the incident in question, i didn't find it necessary to say anything about him.

Who indirectly contributed to the 3 kids' demise? Tom Osborne.

And while I agree that he should have been prosecuted, I think your causality chain is a bit much. I mean hey, we could blame it on the failure of his mama to get on the pill, if we wanted.
