Wasn't he a JJ pick? I hate JJ.

No he was not.  He was drafted by Dick Vermeil and the St. Louis Rams in 1996.  He was released with four games left in the 1997 season for insubordination.  JJ signed him for the last three games, then released him the second day of the 1998 training camp. 

I must note, he punched a woman out at the Brickhouse that offseason and was arrested for that assault.

Oh they'll deal with him alright.  I wonder what color cheerleader's outfit he'll be wearing at the next prison yard football game.

I ran across this in the Sun Sentinel.  Turns out he stood trial again for charges of choking his girlfriend several times, once into unconsciousness, and has been convicted of all counts.  He's looking at another 25 years added on to the 10 he's already serving...... enough to keep him behind bars until he's an old man.

It's really sad to see guys like him and Rae Carruth wasting their lives this way.

This brings gravedigging to a whole new level.  4 years?  Really?

Actually the last post was less than one year old.   When Philly gravedug it the first time, it was about three years old.

Didn't Cecil's sentence get overturned?  I could be mistaken, but I remember reading it somewhere.

Dude is still in jail.

 I was happy when he became a 'Fin Way back wen. at the same time his history also disturbed me.  A talented Rb out of nebraska.  so much hype.  His of the field attitude suxed... OMG what a down spiral for him.  I thought he changed wen he became a fin.  Pfff whatever... What a waste. i show no pity for the asshat.

[masterfins]

Just another example of why the Fins, or any team, should stay away from these "toxic" players that commit violent acts.  This scumbag seems to have a penchant for hitting women and children, Cecil liked to climb through women's windows, wtf?  These guys are no different than spousal abusers who come back the next day and say "i'm sorry" please take me back.  Granted some players should get a second chance, such as a pot smoker or a single incident of DWI, but they should only be allowed to play under strict guidelines that monitor their behavior.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

I read this first line and thought "wtf?  did Phillips cheap shot Young?  How were they on the field at the same time?"  Now I understand......but think it's beyond a stretch to say he ended Young's career......maybe he can be charged as an accessory.

I don't think it is much of a stretch.  I blame Sammy Morris not Pollard for Brady being out for the season last year.  Pollard was doing his job, Morris didn't do his.

His sentence has been extended to 31 years for both choking his girlfriend and driving his car into three teenagers. 

Seeing as he's already in his 30's, he's gonna be a senior citizen by the time he gets out.

31 years so he'll be out in what, 10?  That would put him in his 40's not a nursing home.
