I wrote this on another forum, but is it a sad end? Seems more like a fitting end to me.
"troubled life" goes a bit too far in the PC direction IMO. The guy was a piece of ****.
There's a mis-attributed quote to Mark Twain . . . "I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."
Meh, if I'm going to weep for anyone, it'll be for the millions of gifted kids out there coming from far worse places than this scumbag who will never get the opportunities he had because they're not good at holding on to a leather ball while they run.
I ******* HATE Lawrence Phillips. As a Cyclone Fan, as someone who respects women, and as a 49ers fan he was the absolute worst human being possible.
1.) He was a murderer & woman beater
2.) As a 49er, He completely whiffed a textbook block on a corner blitz by Aeneas Williams of the Cardinals. This gave Steve Young a significant concussion which ultimately caused him to retire.
3.) Phillips had a long history of violence being swept under the rug by God Osborne
4.) He played for Nebraska, **** the huskers.
I guess, what I'm trying to say is that the world is probably a little bit of a better place now that he's gone.

With a glowing eulogy about how he was like a car mowing through kids on the field.
It's like saying Hitler was kind to animals. Poster is on a roll. Just enjoy the ride
Agreed. That's a head-scratcher.
I just heard Terry Boers on 670-AM radio say "Jay, you're taking all of the joy out of 'Lawrence Phillips is Dead Day.'" I personally will weep zero tears for that woman-beating *******.
Yep, I had many a Steve Young and Jerry Rice posters on my walls. They are a few of my favorite players of all time. I've never hated a human being more than I did on that play.
