Miami Dolphins tried, failed, at Lawrence Phillips experiment

How appropriate it was that day long ago when running back Lawrence Phillips showed up at Dolphins training camp with a tattoo of a bomb on his shoulder.

The only problem was the bomb had a fuse extending all the way down to his wrist.

Turned out that Phillips was a bomb himself, with a fuse infinitely shorter than that.

Phillips didn’t last long as a Dolphin. It appears he will last a very long time as an inmate.
