A Little Bit Special Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Didn't he recently sell his National Championship ring in Vegas for next to nothing? 753831[/snapback] Last football related news I can find on him is an article about him being cut by the Montreal Alouettes in '03 And yes he did pawn one of his rings: Trouble-prone football star Lawrence Phillips apparently hit rock bottom in Las Vegas. Phillips, an NFL bust after helping Nebraska to consecutive national titles in the mid-1990s, walked into a downtown Las Vegas pawnshop not long ago and sold one of his Big Eight championship rings for $20. "He said he was stuck in Las Vegas," said Steve Gibson, owner of Steve's Buy & Sell, 625 Las Vegas Blvd. South. "He said, `I need to get out of town.' " Gibson, who turned around and sold the ring on eBay for $1,700, said he tried to talk Phillips out of selling it. "I thought about giving him $20, but he would have just walked down the street and sold it." Phillips, the sixth player taken in the 1996 draft, by the St. Louis Rams, ran afoul of the law throughout his pro career. Phillips told Gibson he tried to hawk the ring "at every pawnshop from Tropicana to downtown," but nobody was interested because it was not gold. "His name was on the side of the ring, but I didn't believe it was him until I saw his driver's license," Gibson said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spain Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 (edited) I wonder how his girlfriend is doing. You know, the woman that he beat up and threw down a couple flights of stairs. I lost all respect for Tom Osborne when he allowed Phillips back on the team after that incident. Edited March 28, 2005 by spain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osbourne had Ahman Green, did he really need Phillips in that game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainHook Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I think Lawrence actually had a tatoo of a bomb on his back with the wick burining down. Seems appropriate, don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
