When Lawrence Phillips was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2006 for running over three teenagers with his car following a pickup football game (hey, we’ve all been there, right?), he established himself as the clear alpha dog regarding Nebraska backfield badassery. When it was reported that Phillips would be facing another sentencing later this month for separate violent offenses that could tack on an additional twenty five years to his term, we all mentally added Phillips dubious accomplishmnts to the list of sports records that will never be broken: Dimaggio’s 56 game hitting streak, Wilt’s 100 point game, Clint Malarchuk’s 6.5 pints of blood lost without dying. Well, it seems that record was hardly of the unbreakable variety. Enter one Thunder Collins:
Via:
Former Nebraska running back Thunder Collins has no remorse for the death of a suspected drug dealer.
That’s what Collins said Thursday before he was sentenced to life in prison for the September 2008 shooting that killed 38-year-old Timothy Thomas and wounded another California man, Marshall Turner.
Collins also was given a total of 110 years on other counts, including attempted second-degree murder, assault and two weapons counts. The sentences are to be served one after the other.
Man, it sure does suck to be Thunder Collins right now but do you know when it’s going to really suck to be Thunder Collins? When scientists figure out the whole eternal life thing and he finishes that 110 year sentence.
