OT: Lawrence Phillips Documentary on Showtime

[RobertWeathers]

Anyone else watch this?

Sad, disturbing and depressing.

The documentary said that the family donated his brain to BU for CTE testing. Haven't seen what the results were. Anyone? Nothing returned on a Google query.

The brother of the deceased Rashaan Salaam, another dynamo RB from that era says he had symptoms of CTE.

I have it on my "watchlist." Is it worth the watch?
That Frazier - Phillips two-headed monster was the gold standard to option/read-option or whatever they called it back then.

Its well made for sure. Not exactly a feel-good movie though. Its somewhere between Schindler's List and The English Patient.

Just a waste of elite talent. Shame.

Those mid-90s Huskers teams were dominant.

It was well worth watching. He was a piece of sh!t way before any CTE would have set in though, regardless of what any testing shows.

Yea.....I'm sympathetic to his childhood circumstances but not how his life ended.

Think of the CTE they will find in OJ when he has died

I'm sure he has some but I think to your point...WGAS.

Well the NFL will likely try to claim his condition was due to trauma suffered by abuse from Frank Drebin and the Police Squad. He took some nasty shots in those movies.

In his case the CTE will mean completely thoroughly evil....

Had to share that to my Facebook LOL

With regards to the documentary, I thought it was very well put together and would recommend for appropriate audiences, even if the material was so disturbing I was speechless at times.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

The documentary was raw and very sad.

I was left thinking "if only" after watching it.

Those husker teams of the mid 90s were like Bama is today, even a little better.
