Lawrence Phillips arrested? For domestic violence? This is not a repeat of 1995,1997, 2005 or 2006 I'm SHOCKED, That is I'm shocked he isn't still in prison for trying to run over those kids in L.A. a few years back.

I'm even more shocked that he has or rather had another girlfriend considering his great track record with women.

This kid was a great college running back. Unfortunately, he was also unable to handle being a professional athlete. What a waste of potential. He had a chance to become an excellent player, and he squandered it. I have no sympathy for him. Clearly, he's not releasing his aggression on the field anymore, so he's taking it out on women. Let him rot in jail.

Complete waste of talent. He dominated college football with nebraska

How could he choke his girlfriend if he's currently in the can? I guess I didn't read the writeup correctly. Was this a "conjugal visit" that went astray or something?

If he's already in the slam for a dime, I'm not sure what adding a nickel and 2 dimes on top will do....(that's prison speak there)

Maybe this dude really has somekind of mental problem. Who knows...

Thunder Collins, Lawrence Phillips and now Shawn Merriman. But none of them beats O.J. or Rae Carruth for sheer brutality and callousness.

What the hell is going on? Does the NFL have to start having symposiums on not beating your girlfriend.
What is with these guy's, they have so much to lose. And they act like f'n idiots.
