Lute Olson brought legitimacey and national prominence to University of Arizona’s basketball program since he started there in 1983. His overall record is 589-188. “Arizona won the 1997 NCAA national title. His 27 NCAA Tournament appearances as a coach are one behind Bob Knight for the all-time record. His streak of 24 straight tournament appearances between 1985-2008 is second all-time to North Carolina’s 27 (between 1975 and 2001).”

John Madden who has been chewing meat and explaining sports since I was a kid is taking this weekend off to spend time with his family. Normally I would be ok with this but I’ve grown so accustomed to phrases like, “ah, See, look right here, see, and what happens, is, see, you got the QB, see, and he goes here, and then he goes there, and BOOM and that’s football.”
In the short time that I’ve been publishing MadnessLetters I have been privileged to receive all sorts of hate mail, encouragement, etc. however every now and then I receive an email that just begs for a reply.
In yesterday’s Weekend Insanity I had a brief one sentence blurb on the recent misfortune of Lawrence Phillips entitled, “Lawrence Phillips tragic and stupid fall from grace.” Admittedly not the best title but appropriate given his utter stupidity. A mensa candidate decided to write in giving his or her two cents.

“Go to http://www.lawrencephillips.info to read the truth about Lawrence Phillips which media will not publish although they have received this information over and over.”News flash the media doesn’t care about an athelete who hasn’t done sh*t since college.Your version of the truth is debatable at best andis most definitely bias. Let’s examine what wikipedia has to say. Wow, what do you know wikipedia can’t get through the first sentence without mentioning his, “numerous conflicts with law enforcement.” No you’re right, he sounds like a stand up guy.
Media spoke with Phillips’ attorney on the day of sentencing but refused to print anything she said-rather they deceptively said she did not return telephone calls!You have to be kidding me.The media won’t report a convicted criminal’s attorney’s opinion!?
Notice that statements of (alleged) victims are never quoted. (It’s not alleged once someone gets convicted of the actual crime the witnesses were brought in to testify about.) Flores’ statement during Phillips’ sentencing was that his “leg was hurt during the ACCIDENT”!!! Selective hype comes from those (prosecutor, media, etc.) who care nothing about alleged victims, other than to use them for their own agenda!!! Right, exactly, that’s what their job is – to care about getting a conviction, what you refer to as their “agenda.” The media reports the facts of the case e.g. his conviction(s).
Regularly read the website above to keep updated about appeals, where the cover-ups and deception that media, prosecutors and judges have gotten away with so far (nice plug) will be exposed–this time the end will be different!!!HA. You think you’re going to make a difference. How cute.
Time will tell it all and California Supreme Court has opened up the process!!!Good luck with that.
People stop being sheep!!! Stop blindly hating & seek the truth! Why iseveryone down on sheep?I like sheep they’re tasty and supply quality wool. Anyone else tired of being called sheep because we don’t agree with a college students recent take on the world?
On August 21, 2005, Phillips was arrested for assault after allegedly driving a car into three teenagers, following a dispute with the teens during a pick-up football game in Los Angeles, California. At the time of the arrest, Phillips was wanted by San Diego in connection with two alleged domestic abuse incidents involving a former girlfriend, who claimed that Phillips choked her to the point of unconsciousness during one of the incidents. In addition, Los Angeles police were seeking Phillips in connection with yet another, separate domestic abuse allegation that occurred previously in Los Angeles.
In March, 2006, the Associated Press reported that Phillips had been ordered to stand trial on felony assault charges stemming from the August 21, 2005 incident. The assigned judge dismissed two counts of child abuse and one count of leaving the scene of an accident.
On October 10, 2006, Phillips was found guilty of seven counts of assault with a deadly weapon. On October 3, 2008, Phillips was sentenced to 10 years in State Prison.
In one of the quickest defeats ever in EliteXC’s short history Kimbo Slice loses a major fight against a relative no name in Seth Petruzelli. (Ken Shamrock could not fight due to cut over left eye). I am sitting on my couch still shocked and no not at the fact that the Miami Dolphins actually have an offense. They have to do a rematch. I feel jipped. 14 seconds? Come on.
