What Might Have Been...

Remember Lawrence Phillips? Not the LP of the NFL. But of Nebraska Cornhuskers fame. He was allowed to run around and do basically whatever he wanted as long as he was running for big numbers on Saturdays in Lincoln. He was awesome. And then it happened, some UN co-ed squeeled that Lawrence had tried to rape her and then beat her. Now everyone's eye was on him and Uncle Tom (Osborne) couldn't protect anymore.

LP's legal woes have been well documented. He was pretty much a more violent and scarier Ricky Williams. All the talent in the world but no will to play the game. Just imagine all of the yards he could have gained and all of the faced he could have smashed if we would have just let someone brush it under the rug again. Ridiculous.

Well LP is in the news again. He was finally busted in San Diego (German for a whale's vagina), for trying to run over some kids that he was playing football with. Add this to the fact that he was wanted for choking his girlfriend twice (the second time she went unconcious). And by the way he was driving a stolen car when they caught him. What a stand up guy. I think old Lawrence is finally going away for a long time this time. But the craziest part to me about this whole story is how in the hell did he have a girlfriend. If you are a woman and a guy tells you his name is Lawrence Phillips shouldn't your first reaction be to run as fast as you can before he punches you in the face. I don't get it.

On a lighter note, the Browns won their second preseason game Saturday. I know it doesn't mean anything, but when the team has won 9 games the last two years I'll take what I can get.
