Armchair GM Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Graham's recent article on espn.com states that giving Lynch the same treatment as Brandon "Scumbag" Marshall (reduced 3 game suspension to one game on appeal) as "It would be a bad idea to give Lynch similar treatment." Are you kidding me!? Lynch operated within his legal rights last year in dealing with the alleged "hit and run" incident and Graham says he "jerked the local police around for a month." You're telling me, a kid from a single parent home in Oakland, who had been previously "mistakenly" targeted in a drive by, who has a gun in a bag in his trunk is worse than a third arrest (for which Marchalls suspension in the beginning of the '08 season was predicated on) for domestic charges. In my mind, beating up your girlfriend is a far worse, cowardly offense than both of Lynch's brushes with the law. Gotta love opionated reporting...screw getting the facts and comparing apples to apples, right Tim?
Mr. WEO Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Good thing Hardy beat up his girlfriend and infant child before he got to the NFL, or we'd be out TWO major weapons!

Yeah, right, hitting a person with your car at 3:30 am and leaving that person for dead in the street (remember, he didn't know what condition the person was in) as you flee is gentlemanly behavior. It's not "alleged" - he basically fessed up to it yet got off practically scot free.

Work on your reading comprehension...Graham said Lynch shouldn't get the same treatment as Marshall. He didn't say that Marshall deserved to have his suspension reduced. In no way, shape, or form does he imply that Lynch's crime is worse than Marshall's. Stupid logical fallacy on your part.
dave mcbride Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Scratched leg = dead? "leaving a person for dead" = hitting and fleeing without looking back. He had no idea (I suspect in part because he was at least buzzed) whether the person simply got a big cut or died of blood loss. That's because he hit and ran. I actually like Lynch - he plays hard, has a good attitude w/regard to the team, and is good. But I'm not going to overlook his miscreant behavior.

I'm sure if he would have hit somebody so hard that death was a possibility, he would have known. Criipes, I've had noisy run-ins with squirrels that haven't resulted in his or her death.

I hope I'm not leaving you for dead when I do it, considering that I don't actually know it won't kill you.

Gotta love opionated reporting...screw getting the facts and comparing apples to apples, right Tim? Spoken like a true Bills fan. I think Tim G. is right; and thought maybe this is a pipe dream, perhaps a 3-game suspension will really force Lynch to change his ways.

He didn't say that Marshall deserved to have his suspension reduced. In no way, shape, or form does he imply that Lynch's crime is worse than Marshall's. Stupid logical fallacy on your part. Back to logic class kiddo. By not saying Marshall received undeserved favors, Graham, by implication, say he did deserve said favors. If he thought otherwise the article would have said something like: The NFL should not repeat the Brandon Marshall mistake with Marshawn Lynch. The entire premise of the article is that Lynch does not deserve the reduction. If Graham thought that all players get off too easy, he would have said so. When you advance with your understanding of what you're being taught in logic class you will be able to discern what is known as the "subject". Also, the pornographic reference in your reply is unnecessary. "Stupid logic" would have still been rude, but adding in a reference to "fallacy" is over the top. Kids read this board.
ieatcrayonz Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Criipes, I've had noisy run-ins with squirrels that haven't resulted in his or her death. If your car is drifting to the right at impact, you have to turn hard left and vice versa. You can actually flip them pretty high into the air if you do it right.

Gotta love opionated reporting...screw getting the facts and comparing apples to apples, right Tim? Marshall has never been convicted. The charges are often dropped. The point I'm making is, if you keep letting people off the hook and reducing their punishment, they never learn.

BillsNYC Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Graham's right. Lynch got away scott free the first time, then he went and got busted again. He deserves whatever is coming to him. Goodell can't make it a habit of reducing punishments, he's got to stand firm. Don't think of it from a Bills fan's view, think of it from the NFL's view. Don't blame Goodell, blame Lynch, he did the crime and has to do the time.
TimGraham Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 I don't think the level of the woman's injuries in the hit-and-run matter one bit. You stop and see if the person is all right. It's what civilized humans should do.
