Marshawn Lynch

by Danielsan on Jul 23, 2007 4:53 PM EDT

Rumor around Buffalo is that a certain recent Buffalo Bills Draft pick, for privacy's sake let's call him Marshawn L.- no, that's too obvious... let's say M. Lynch- has already, before he has even spent a large amount of time in this new city, been barred for life from a popular downtown bar.

The reason for the banning is because Mr. Lynch, allegedly, brought in his own alcohol. Now this doesn't seem like a major offense, but weird situations like this keep coming up in Marshawn's life. I don't think Marshawn is anything like a Michael Vick or Pacman Jones... but I'm not exactly sure he isn't, either.

-The unmistakable man with the shiny teeth and the big dreads was apparently mistaken as somebody else when he was shot at last year while attending his sister's high school graduation. A person even called his mother 20 minutes after the shooting to tell her it wasn't meant for her son. How a person with this knowledge, if true, has Marshawn's mother's phone number, I don't know- but it isn't a good sign.

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

Source?

Do you have a source for this Soho rumor, Danielsan? Marshawn has never really proved he is a bad guy he got off all his other charges - so unless you have a credible source behind this rumour, I find it hard to believe

Source...

I wouldn't have written it if it wasn't from a great source.

And who said Soho? I didn't say Soho in the article.

My point was it was another thing that is added to the list of weird things that always seem to happen to Marshawn- rumor or not.

Remember when Michael Vick was just the guy who supposedly tried to hide weed in his water bottle? That's all I'm saying.

soho

bah, it was a shot in the dark. just a guess...

to compare Marshawn to Vick is rediculous. They're not even close to the same person (or player for that matter). this rumour may or may not be true, but im still not sure i believe it...

True...

Ha- got any friends named Brian? Nevermind.

I didn't mean to directly compare... I just wanted to bring up his past and show that there is a pattern, even if an illegal one was never proven. At the least, my point is there's smoke... not necessarily fire, though.

I was truly surprised that Levy took him when everyone spoke of his "character" issues, despite nothing proven and I'm sure the Bills did their due diligence, anyway (because Levy has shown he holds character above almost all else).

But we saw the warning signs with Vick and no one cared. Now he's on a "leave of absence" and who knows when he'll be back. Marshawn grew up in a similarly tough neighborhood and seems to be loyal to his "family"- as Vick was to his crew- maybe to a fault.

I'm just throwing it out there so people can see all sides of it, not just how charismatic he is. And, don't get me wrong, I'm rooting hard for him and hope this turns out to be just some stupid post by some stupid "blogger".

But if not, don't tell me the evidence wasn't there.

(and if you are still not satisfied... how about this: I heard something from a person I trust, it's the middle of a long summer, I wanted something to write, and this intrigued me)

Choir Boy

It's almost getting to the point that we don't want any player who drinks, goes out for dinner and has drinks, they should all be home by 10 PM you know---Do you know where your kids are right now? There arn't any perfect people let alone perfect football players. With the internet we all can start rumours!

No pattern

Give this kid a break. It sounds like Marshawn grew up in a fairly rough Oakland neighborhood and worked his butt off to get where he is today. His being essentially an innocent bystander in an inner-city shooting incident and this unsubstantiated rumor (even if true) does not constitute a recurring pattern. I hate this tabloid crap.

Tabloid

I agree, this is just internet journalism/tabloid stuff (although any paper would print it with my sources and all the other stories I mention have been printed by newspapers)... but this is now the new NFL. The players agreed to a conduct policy- and the Commissioner has smacked down several players already because of it.

I'm with Brian G., I do trust Marv that he has it handled... but, again... there's smoke.

The Titans lost a top 10 Pick (Pacman), the Bears released one of the better DT's in the League (Tank), the Bengals lost a decent WR (Henry), and now the Falcons may have lost their season (especially after trading away Schaub - we traded away McGahee, remember. A-Train can't carry this load himself, just as Joey Harrington probably won't make that Falcons team a contender).

It's a slippery slope where no news is good news. We can deny there may be a problem- and there really may not be- but don't say there wasn't at least some writing on the wall- no matter how innocent that writing is.

don't understand

I guess I'm thick but why is this a big deal, he took some alcohol into a bar other than being cheep what is your point-that he has been banned from this establishment-that he was drinking-or he took the alcohol into the place?????
