LP: "a certain stupidity"

Ex-NFL Player Ordered To Stand Trial For Assault

http://cbs2.com/topstories/local_story_060212219.html

amazingly, Nebraska is only mentioned here:

Phillips played for the St. Louis Rams and the Miami Dolphins and was a standout player at Baldwin Park High School and the University of Nebraska.

only one mention from CBS :blink: surely ESPN can top that IF/when they pick up the update.

we've already heard most of this story but ya gotta love the quote from the Judge:

Phillips is accused of aiming his car at a group of boys with whom he had been playing pickup football on a soccer field near the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum last Aug. 21.

Phillips allegedly was angry at his poor play and took it out on the victims.

"His conduct displayed a certain stupidity, and what he did was clearly an assault on these young boys," Mayerson said. "The salient part of the evidence was that the defendant was in a snit when he left the field."

...

All seven victims ranged in age from about 10 to their early teens, Lanigan said.

prediction: he again avoids any real jail time and is eventually signed by the Amarillo Dusters of the AF2. The coach defends the signing by stating that "everyone deserves a *2nd* chance".
