This guy seemed to be destined for either prison or an early death and in the end he got both.

I find it shocking that he lived as long as he did. What a tragic waste of life.

Interesting to read what former CFL teammates have to say. Nothing but positive things (for now) despite the fact he clearly had a troubled soul. Sad story. So much talent wasted.

One of the most troubled and talented people to play in the CFL. So sad to see him throw his career and more important, his life, away.

I was hoping that Jim Barker would be interviewed about Phillips and he indeed was by Canadian Press: http://slam.canoe.com/Slam/Football/CFL/2016/01/14/22593255.html

I wonder if any observable damage or some anomaly would be found if his brain was examined: the fellow was a model of destructive behaviour.
