Yet another reason to hate the Broncos.

I lost track of how many reasons I have.

I actually knew Joe when he played through his involvement with CASA. Remember talking to him after a Raiders game and him laughing his ass off about what a bunch of schmucks they were and how they had no heart. He was a good guy - too bad he's letting his demons get the best of him.

Dude he could beat out sims


even now

no shit

Gosh, the beer really killed his cells, this is a shame.

it mentions drug testing, is that an implication that he was into more than just booze?

Sad story, I really liked him. I will never forget the mugging he received and came back from it. IIRC they almost killed him.

My initial thought was to say that I don't recall them mentioning a drug addiction. But then I re-read the article. I guess you're right.

I wonder if that's just a mistake. I mean, then never mentioned anything about drug addiction in the whole piece. Just alcoholism. :hmmm:

This is really a sad story. Joe Phillips was a good guy when he played for the Chiefs. I hope and pray that he gets it together and slays his demons.

Ya know....I don't pray very much.... I just figure God has things in his hands....But I WILL say a prayer for Joe tonight. I am not a religious zealot, but I encourage everyone here to say a prayer for a great man with lots of troubles. I will probably not ask it of you again...jsut this once.
