"Mayerson said Phillips, 30, drove directly at the victims, who suffered cuts and scrapes. Phillips allegedly was angry at the way he had played and took it out on the boys."

This guy is a piece of shit, for those who do not remember his "first" brush with the law, he was with Nebraska on their last National Title team and got pissed off at his girlfriend over a sandwich, so he hit the girl in the face a few times and dragged her down 7 flights of stairs by her hair and then banged her face repeatedly into the mail box.

He of course got nothing more then a slap on the wrist and was allowed to play in the National Title game a few weeks later. The girl who was a star player on the Nebraska Woman’s Basketball team lost her career and left Nebraska soon after. Tom Osborne, then the Nebraska Head Coach and now a Republican Senator from NE thought he had learned his lesson by suspending him 3 games, but NOT the National Title game. Time magazine had a good article on this and asked why he was not in jail or at the very least kicked off the team; Osborne never gave an answer, but as most politicians seem to do on serious questions, answered with out answering it.

I wonder if he had not been allowed to get away with as much as a kid due to his tremendous talent if he would have turned out this way?

Maurice you other there?
