Blackshirts007 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 What really screwed him here was the previous incident of punching a cop. Otherwise I have no doubt he would have got off clean. I know current players who have gotten out plenty of situations. Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Shame. He put in a ton of extra work to get into better shape this offseason. It's obvious he has a passion for football. At some point though I'd like to see him grow up a tad and decide whether or not partying is really that important to him. I would hate to see it diminish what could be an excellent NFL career. Id like to see these dumbass rich professional athletes hire a friggin driver when they wanna go out and get their drink on! That is all! Quote Link to comment

That is all! it is baffling. universities need to offer classes to student athletes about how to be a professional athlete. how to manage money, image, and protect yourself. ben roethlisberger is a pretty crazy example. how did he keep getting into trouble? you have an entourage. designate one member a dd who also makes sure you do not do anything stupid.

Moiraine Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm probably reading too much into it, but it is interesting that he never did anything like this (that I'm aware of) until he was done with Nebraska. (Unless you count getting kicked out of his last game). It's like once he was out from under Pelini's thumb he decided to start being an idiot. Quote Link to comment

It was major, yes. But it was one. Then, no more TO, and he goes all out nutso on us. Quote Link to comment

The only difference with LP is that people have stated even while in college he was a fine guy to be around, but once he started drinking watch out. Quote Link to comment

I read some things from the past about Phillips from back then the other day when I involved myself in the Urban Meyer/Aaron Hernandez discussion. Even TO was quoted as saying Lawrence was a very laid back gentleman, but did have an extremely "explosive" tendency, one that he himself had seen. Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 wonder what this does to his probation for the other offense. According to court records, the first requirement as part of his probation is "he shall not violate any laws and shall refrain from disorderly conduct or acts injurious to others." So, direct violation of his probation. The level of poor judgement in this baffling. The DUI is bad enough and inexcusable, but throw on that he refused to give a chemical test and provided an insufficient breath for the breathalyzer? That sounds like they tried to breathalyze him, he acted immature and either didn't do it or gave a little joke of a breath. After the Hernandez situation, I wouldn't be surprised if they cut him. In their shoes, I'd probably cut him. He's expendable and this is the second case of poor judgement he's shown in a little over a year. Quote Link to comment
