...whoever wrote that blog isn’t much of a writer, so I’d be a little suspicious about the identity. The author gave enough personal details that it sounds as if they were close to the situation, so it may be Phillips, but then it also might be one of his family members (some of them came out with hostile remarks about the ex-wife after the “Real Sports” episode). Also, keep in mind that while it’s very possible that Phillips’ ex is everything the author claims she is, she’s also not the one on the run from the law (for reasons that didn’t have anything to do with his marital situation) so there is an issue of credibility with Phillips.

Joe Phillips was one of my favorite players as a Chief, and I feel bad for the guy’s troubles after football, but it’s probably best not to get mixed up in this one because outside of Joe Phillips and his ex-wife, nobody really has any idea of what went on in that marriage…it’s just a nasty divorce with two sides that apparently hate each other and both sides have reason to present a slanted version of events (just like in every divorce). There’s not going to be any good to come out of bloggers taking sides when we have no way of knowing what went down and it’s really not our business.
