Joe Phillips!
 

I mentioned him in another thread, and it got me to thinkin. I was too young to really know if he was any good or not. All I remember is a rowdy redhead that looked like a biker on crank out there busting skulls, and he fit in well with the stars around him.

But maybe...my childhood memory is wrong and he was really a shitstain that would have been a "meh" on CP, or a "****IN CUT THIS GINGER **** CARL $&**@#&*&#!!!!@!!!"

I really don't know.

He was a solid "lunch pail" kinda guy. Consistent, played hard... but not a stud.

He was better with the bolts, but a space filler for the chiefs... Allowing Neil smith and DT to attack the passer.

Wasnt he a lawyer?

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't he beat his wife up or am I thinking of someone else

Ding ding..... both a lawyer and wife beater.


Also think he is one of the brain dead that are suing the league for concussions.

Heh, found this. 4 pages. A little more than I care to read about Joe Phillips right now.

Damn

I read that a while ago.

Damn

How does a 6'5" 315lbs dude get beat silly. Guess it was the .23 BAC

Sad story.

It's sad that he turned out this way....He was one of my favorites and 1 of the group that I called the 4 HORSEMEN..
Big Joe
Neil Smith
Derrick Thomas
Dan Saleaumua

Was he ever found?

He invented the lunch pail

Dude was brain damage. Very sad case, like Mike Webster was a sad case. He was in a nasty bar fight when he played in San Diego. Cracked his skull, messed him up bad.

I remember his wife being on tv in KC a lot back then.
