The NFL Was The LEAST Of His Problems! What Happened to Lawrence Phillips? 

I completely agree!!!

1000% !

Yeah, he's absolutely the best in the business, totally agree

If you follow scripture, it's easier than you think. We're all human.

Yes...Hands down the best story teller on YT, not just sports I think probably any category he chose!

exactly right

Bruh I forgot it was coming and it hit me a bit different this time can't lie

Lol. True

FRFR

And he ultimately failed himself.

Dude had so much talent physically and sounded like intellectually. Listening all I can think is what could have been if he had real parents.

Cte

His parents didn't failed him , he made it he failed himself. Blk daddy always leave they kids it's common foe blks haha

The reality is, 99 out of 100 kids with that kind of childhood are going to end up as a sociopath at best.

Thank u🙏🏾

@@FlemLoRaps thank you man. Keep doing you.

I saw this guy n real time he was A.P before A.p

It's tragic we live in a society that ignores suffering, and then punishes rather than helping with rehabilitation. He was absolutely wrong for a lot of the shit he did, no excusing it. It's sad that he never got a fair chance at life, just like a lot of people don't.

@@joshwiley4387 and a lot of it wasn't.because of "White Supremacy" like people are trying to claim. It was because of his own evironment and the people who were suppose to provide support and purpose. It happens WAY TOO OFTEN but it gets ignore to push this narrative of MODERN SYSTEMIC RACISM and promoting EQUITY. It breaks my heart y'all.

@@MookieLoLo why was he in that "environment" to begin with... we just gonna pretend like 200+ years of discrimination/slavery/incarceration isn't (at least somewhat) responsible for it? Racism is as American as football and Budweiser... Anyways, my point was that i feel bad for how the world treated this man, he did terrible shit no if ands or buts. I just hate that its a reality.

You know what they say, hurt people hurt people. Unless the individual finds the right therapy/support/coping mechanisms to deal with this pain & trauma, the cycle of hurt will just continue.

How ironic that it was Phillips that helped end his career

@@sickofguysnamedtodd2293 Really is

Notice he didn't mention blocking.

he had all of that except a brain. What a waste of talent .

Very relatable. Very sorry.

Damn bro smh i feel your pain...

So sorry, i hope u were able to get therapy or spiritual guidance which is key to forgiveness and moving on! Ur mother will need u before u ever need her.

Wow sorry to hear that, stay strong.

😢🙏🏽🙏🏽

Maybe consider when vermeil coached the greatest show on turf… 1999

Id say the opposite of Walter Payton

Sooo, Retlaw NotyaP?

@@farmerlarbear2244 nah I mean Walter Payton was a nice guy

@@scottiebarnesismydad8124 …He most certainly was. Doesn’t he still have the good guy of the yr trophy in the NFL named for him? I was mostly trying to see what his name would look/sound like in reverse.. hahaha

@@farmerlarbear2244 yep. Walter Payton Man of the Year award.

Best way to describe him.

​@@onunka16💯

Hmm. Did you about how Scott Frost intertwined in this story while as a back-up quarterback in Lincoln? He sorta exaggerated to the police saying he was assaulted but locked his ass in the bathroom. Karma is a bitch....How is he doing as coach in Lincoln? Curious....

And the people who helped him most in his life were older white men. Not other black men and definitely not his mom.

@@coachcarroll963 what was the purpose of pointing this out? Let’s not forget that it’s old white men’s fault in the first place for upholding racist laws that neutered the growth and development of the black communities across America. Maybe if those people were compensated for what they EARNED on the plantation and then actually left alone by hateful and insecure wypipo, we’d have better family dynamics. Having financial security helps with that.

@@newjumpcityjosh9333 Thank you

Racist laws? Like what? Lmao

@@coachcarroll963 Maybe a better way to say this is "the people who helped him most only did so because he could run fast while carrying a football". If Phillips ran a 5.3 Osborne wouldn't have given a damn about his wellbeing

30 for 30 is trash compared to Flem, don't demote him by comparing him to msespn.

I agree, it’s meant as a compliment. However, a lot of people on this channel don’t like ESPN’s 30 for 30.

Yeah I watched the 30 for 30 right before this, and Flem blows that clear out of the water.

Help yourself Neptune. A relationship doesn't define you, and people come and go. You are the only constant. Leave the alcohol, get counselling, learn about yourself, be the best version of you. Sounds simplistic, but alcohol dependancy will only damage your job, friendships and your progress. Be good, stay safe dude.

Routing for you.....praying for ur good.....major peace to u

I’m sorry to say, you’re already addicted at this point. Drinking daily for 90 days causes our set points to change for our neurotransmitters. Taper off and quit drinking - you GOT THIS!

Your cousin never had an honest chance. He started at -0. That trauma as a child followed him to adulthood. This wrld eats its young. Read so much about him. He was a beast on that field, just so hard to over-come all that was thrown @him. Flowers for your cousin. 💐🌹💐

@@N.a.j.i. Thank You So Much. People seem to forget that people who are in the lime light are real people that deal with real issues.

Husker fan here....he was a beast! Dude had a huge heart not just in football. You could see it.

@@N.a.j.i. Bullshit, there’s ppl that go through waaay more than him and they don’t choose to strangle women and kill ppl

I am Amaliya. The last gf he had. .. There was a real good side to Lawrence. It makes me angry when people think they knew him and only have negative things to say about him. They didn't know him. I truly loved him and I wish things had been different..

Big facts

Don't jinx the man,because he was around the 80 to 200 thousand subscribers mark for years and me and plenty others used to always wonder why, then during the pandemic or what ever,the man started to get 10s of thousands of subscribers every time I checked. .

Showtime already mad one.

LP was a bad man hate walk happen to him young gifted and b Black what a great combo

Ditto broken man crying out for help...wish he sought God God will not betray you God's love is enduring outlives time because God is Time and TIME is God

I know he had a bad childhood, but I wonder if he had a lot of enablers that looked the other way, covered up things that he did, rather than step in with some firm discipline in his high school and college days. Universities, especially back then were notorious for covering up for their elite athletes.

@@powerboatguy2308 ,, wym IF ? he was very much enabled. and given a better opportunity for his actions. he beat that girl & didn’t even lose his scholarship.

Tom Osborne tried to help him and was demonized for trying.

Great mindset n observation

Usually woman beaters always stick together.

He's rotting in hell, so wishing him peace is irrelevant

Man I never knew about his mom basically abandoning him and having one of her lovers pee on him. I would be that angry, vengeful and messed up too if something like that happened to me.

@@silverback7675 that’s some of the most demoralizing shit. One of those things that most people would come out fed up

Ditto

@@silverback7675 That's gotta be up there with he most degrading things a person can experience so you can totally understand how he went off the depend from there and lacked any sort of impulse control, it's why you always should protect and look after kids because mistreatment could result in them becoming lost in our society

@@silverback7675 parents gotta be so careful with how they conduct themselves and who they let around their kids because those scars do not heal

He should’ve been in therapy also tho

@@tgrice601 good luck convincing a hard-nosed, football playing, foster kid in the 90’s that he needs to go to therapy

Vermeil is one of the most compassionate coaches I've ever seen. Man is 100% behind his players, and wants to support them as much as possible.

LP is one of the saddest and most divisive stories in Husker history. A lot of people still hate Tom Osborne for letting him stick around. Personally, I think TO believed that football helped keep him out of trouble, so the decision was made with good intentions and not done just to win a championship. Still, it’s one of those calls that I don’t think I would’ve been able to make

Not his fault. The outcome would have been the same.

Never thought about that but his input on some of the drill scenes would be great content

@@fredcheckam holy shit now I’m imagining Flem instead of the dude behind Hip Hop Daily doing the narration. Nothing against the latter but those vids would be far better with flem narrating

Agreed. If he could pronounce “ask” he would be modern legend

Trap lore Russ , check him out

@@sriig I like the Hip Hop Daily channel. I do feel like some of his content is repetitive though. If you've seen one Chicago drill video on his channel, you've seen most of the rest.

100% 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Damn. You’re telling me. As soon as I read your comment it was like 38 minutes in the video. Thats crazy.

Facts LP had HOF potential written all over. However, like you said he couldn't escape his demons and he should've got help before he started receiving a lot of notoriety

@@sjnorthmusic Yeah. But I do understand that he grew up with people literally hating him like pure evil. This is one of the saddest stories ever and it's good that FlemLo Raps made this video because now everyone can see what led him to the dark path that he chose

@@cincinnatibengalsfan9194 Word bro

murdered by prison guards

Agreed, best huskers running back I’ve ever seen. Ray Lewis said he was best running back he ever faced. That says a lot.

​@@tomhansen8529💯

Rae is human trash. What he did is unforgivable.

EXACTLY.... PROPS @FLEMLO

Maaaan tell us about about it...that's a very unique story

A lot of us have a childhood that messes with us But if you have the opportunity to break the cycle get help if you can RIP L 🙏

You was his fefe?

That's awesome please share because this story breaks my heart and I would've loved to know him.

Psychological counseling only works when the individual receiving it is a willing participant. Mandating counseling is a really bad idea
