Maurice Clarett's Role Model

Lawrence Phillips, former NFL and Nebraska running back, was convicted Tuesday 3-October on seven counts of assault with a deadly weapon.

The 31-year-old Phillips drove onto a field near Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum after losing a pickup football game on Aug. 21, 2005. He struck two boys, ages 14 and 15, and a 19-year-old man and narrowly missed four others between 15 and 24 years old, according to the prosecutor. The three who were struck sustained "severe bumps and bruises and cuts," Deputy District Attorney Todd Hicks said.

Since Mr. Phillips is a complete failure at being a role model for children, he has ventured into the uncharted ground of being a role model for the apocalyptically stupid, such as Mr. Clarett.

Maurice Clarett, former NFL and Ohio State running back, was arrested Wednesday 9-August October. Since vehicular assault is not in the set of charges, perhaps there is some room for personal growth here.

In the early morning hours of August 9, 2006, Clarett was arrested in Columbus after he made an illegal U-turn and led the police on a chase in a sports utility vehicle reportedly belonging to his uncle. After driving over a police-mounted spike strip, the chase ended in a nearby restaurant parking lot.

Police said they were forced to secure a cloth around Clarett's mouth after he allegedly spit at the officers and called them "nigga haters" during the arrest. According to Columbus Police Sgt. Mike Woods, the officers discovered a hatchet, a loaded AK-47 variant, a Hi-Point Pistol and two other loaded handguns in his vehicle along with an open bottle of Grey Goose vodka. The police requested that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives perform a trace on the firearms to determine if Clarett violated Federal gun laws.

The officers used Mace to subdue Clarett after attempts to subdue him with a Taser
proved ineffective because he was wearing Kevlar body armor.

Use of the phrase “nigga haters” is really precious isn’t it?

Both of these men were gifted, having bodies that could bring them millions of dollars, both have heads that aren’t worth a plug nickel.

Now both will be living on our tax dollars.
