lets_go_bills Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Dear Commissioner Goodell, All I want for X-mas is for you not to suspend Lynch. He made a mistake, got scared and left the scene, no biggie, the girl is ok. Briggs crashed his Lambo and fled and you didn't suspend him, so you can't suspend Lynch. Please, we need him... big time. We might get off the playoff schnide this year, don't take that away from us. Sincerely, One Extremely Terrified Bills Fan. Anybody else wanna sign my petition?

stuckincincy Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Anybody else wanna sign my petition? I will - when you provide authenticated photos of yourself after being slammed to the pavement by a motor vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuckincincy Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Haha! Would you settle for me offering to take the heat for him? How much $$$ can you put on the table? If it's not six figures, consider yourself a poseur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Is there any reason to think Lynch knew the girl was okay when he left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 You can not successfully point to something Goodell did with one person and assume he should do the same with someone else. Consider that as a coach, Wade Wilson gets nailed buying steroids, is fined $100,000 and is suspended four games where as a coach, Bill Bellicheat* gets caught cheating for almost eight years, and gets a $500,000 fine and no suspension. Goodell will only does what interests him. If it interests him to suspend Lynch, he'll do it regardless of any precedent you think he may have set.

Although I'd substitute "what interests him", with "what benefits him". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBilliever Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Is there any reason to think Lynch knew the girl was okay when he left? Yes. He proceeded to yell out the window "You aight!?" Followed by the moan of pain, he proclaimed "BEASS MOWD!" And drove off in to the sun...rise. Great point made though silver, she'll probably milk it for all it's worth...

No. Minimizing the incident itself makes the argument weak. Lynch needs to own up to this and throw himself at the mercy of the league and courts. Humility = less chance of suspension. Calling a personal injury hit-and-run "no biggie" will only piss off the victims and family and anyone else who has ever been or known a victim of a hit and run.

LabattBlue Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Is there any reason to think Lynch knew the girl was okay when he left? Yes, that is the most likely scenario... After the car hit the girl, the driver rolled down his window, asked if she was okay and then went speeding off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
