Phillips could have been one of the greatest backs to have ever played! He had it all - quickness, explosiveness, brute strength, etc. I remember watching him when he was a Cornhusker and thinking to myself that one day he would help a team win a super bowl. Man, was I wrong! What a waste of talent!! He was never able to temper that anger. I'll always remember him as a beast in man. And he went out the way he lived - violently.
when ur coaches give u the bye week off, bad things happen...he must have been the one who gave BeliCheat his black-eye for confronting him after the incident

FOXBORO, NE – On Sunday, New England Patriots’ pro-bowl defensive end Chandler Jones showed up at the Foxborough Police Department at 7:42 a.m. with a “medical emergency” in what turns out to be a weird and ‘something’s not right here’ type of story. After being evaluated by five officers who described him later as a “confused party”, he was transported to nearby Norwood Hospital shortly after 8 a.m., then released later that day. The story broke only yesterday by the Boston Herald.
Foxborough police initially denied that they had any dealings with Jones. However, the Boston Herald had obtained dispatch call records, which were later modified by someone within the department. According to Foxborough Police Chief Edward O’Leary, the records were altered to remove medical information, and what he meant when he said that they had no dealings with Jones was that it was a medical matter, not a police matter.
The Patriots issued a statement on Tuesday. They admitted that Jones was taken to the hospital, but reassured fans that he reported to work on Monday and participated in all team activities.
So what the hell happened to Chandler Jones?
According to my source, Chandler walked into police station parking lot all jammed up shirtless and shoeless asking for help from policeWell, according to a police source who spoke to Chris Curtis of Boston sports radio station WEEI, Jones’ trip to the hospital was at least partially do to pills. Meanwhile, audio of the police dispatch obtained by Heavy has the officer who went to Jones’ house saying he was “definitely involved with Class D delta before this happened.” And class D drugs include marijuana, phenobarbital (sometimes used for sleep and anxiety), and isobutyl nitrite, which is found in “poppers” often taken recreationally before sex.

WEEI’s Lou Merloni also presented a more detailed account of Chandler’s arrival at the police station:
Initially WEEI’s report claimed that Chandler Jones’ overdose occurred at the home of Patriots superstar tight end Rob Gronkowski. However, that detail was later removed.
Here’s the audio of the dispatch recording of when Jones found police..
And the proceeding fire dispatch audio..
As for what this will mean for Jones and the Patriots going forward, that will depend on what pills the Patriots’ sack leader was popping. If they are deemed to be “performance enhancing” he’ll be looking at a suspension. However, if this is just a case of substance abuse, and if it’s not a legal matter—for all we know Jones could have overdosed on over-the-counter sex pills—Jones would simply have to enter the NFL’s substance abuse program.

Though strange, the incident was apparently not too serious. He took part in Patriots practice the next day but was not available in the locker room as of today for media availability. The Patriots’ top pass rusher is expected to start and play in New England’s divisional playoff game against the Chiefs in Foxboro this Saturday.

that's definitely not true for fans in pittsburgh. half of the people here want him fired.
LOL@Check Two and IronSheik hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Steelers are going to be the first team ever to play a post-season game without their leading rusher and receiver. They might also be without their leading passer as Roethlisberger is listed as questionable.
Another hail mary, smh
damn! that didn't take long...its only halftime!

In 2010, the Jets gave Antonio Cromartie a $500,000 advance so he could pay back child support. Six years later, we now know how Cromartie racked up such a large bill.

According to Susan Edelman of the New York Post, Cromartie pays child support of $336,000 per year—$3,500 each month per child—for eight children with seven women.
In addition, Cromartie has two more children with his wife, Terricka, and a set of twins on the way. The couple recently announced Terricka Cromartie is pregnant despite Antonio having undergone a vasectomy.
“I didn’t even tell Antonio right away because I didn’t think it was possible,” Cromartie told Brody Brown, Travis Cronin and Stephanie Webber of US Weekly. "I was going back and forth in my head how it could even happen. In my head we were good to go, we were having free sex! I just really thought that his procedure was the best protection you could have at this point.”
Antonio and Terricka were married in 2010. The marriage has coincided with the best stretch of Cromartie's career, as he's made the Pro Bowl in three of the last four seasons.
The Jets signed him to a four-year, $32 million contract last offseason that should help him with any child-support payments, provided the team wants to keep him around. The remaining $25 million over the next three seasons is all non-guaranteed base salary, per Spotrac.
Cromartie did not record a single interception for the first time since his rookie season and ranked 103rd at his position in Pro Football Focus' grading system. Cromartie could be in danger of being cut if he doesn't take a pay cut. Given the state of his child support and with two more kids on the way, the veteran corner should probably do whatever it takes to keep the NFL paychecks flowing.
