Its on Buffalo's side by removing a potential relocation site. If the Bills leave WNY for say, LA, the NFL will lose most of the upstate NY market, which collectively, ranks top 15 in the country.
The Candian govt can keep any business it wants out of Canada.
A) just connecting point A to C thru B. Buffalo doesn't want the Bills to leave, the Canadian Government doesn't want the Bills to relocate to Toronto, therefore, Canadian government helping to keep Bills in Buffalo...it's a stretch but everyone else is grandstanding in their topic postings re: Hardy and Lynch so I figure I could use one too.
B) I meant in the sense, you'd be hard-pressed to find the entire senate agree to keep a lucrative economy booster like the NFL out of Canada to protect its league. No-compete laws rarely get passed.

Why is saying that I wouldn't try to get away with hit run holier than thou? Is saying I wouldn't kill someone any different?
Perhaps there's too much of a star-f*cking attitude with some people on this board. He's a Buffalo Bill, so let's give him the benefit of the doubt, right?
How is it as "star-f#cking attitude" to let the facts come to light before passing judgement?!? Most of the posters rushing to Marshawn's defence aren't doing so because they love Marshawn and he's innocent because he's a Bill, but because the whole f___ing lot of you won't let the story play itself out before providing your useless "holier-than-thou" criticisms...most of us want to hear the facts before we decide if he's a "ghetto punk", a "spineless thug", or any of the other stupid insults we've seen hurled his way...
-
Facts are not required in the court of public opinion....unless of course you are of the strongest moral fiber aka A Buffalo Bills forum board poster and you know all the facts involved in the situation giving you full credence to pass a judgement that should be recognized by the law....
Fixed it for you, Apus...

I think this hardy incident is getting blown out of proportion. He happened to be in the car when it hit the fatty. Theres nothing he can do about his teammate doing a hit and run. Now...if he was the driver...that would change the story quite a bit.
I can't wait for the logic that questions Hardy's character when he's in a bank as it's getting robbed...
"Hardy has character issues because by being in a bank being robbed, he's somehow implicated in this!"
I can't see how any of you can tie his previous incident to being in a car (possibly) involved in a hit-and-run. Short of driving the car or putting one of his gats to Marshawn's head and telling him to leave the girl on the side of the road, this incident does nothing to Hardy's character.
Unless you think it's wrong for a young person to go out on the weekend and party til 3:30 am....
-
That's why it's useless posting topics like this, because the holier than thou types know exactly what they would do. They can put themselves in another's shoes and know 100% exactly what they would do should they be in that situation. And of course, that action is always the morally correct and honorable thing to do no matter what the situation or consequence.
Myself on the other hand, I am a realist. I like to deal with facts, not hypothetical's. If I were out drinking and driving late at night, which I have done many times when I was in my 20's [sarcasm]even though it is morally wrong to be doing that..blah blah blah [/sarcasm], I would probably crap my pants if I accidentally hit someone. I have absolutely no idea what I would do. Part of me would want to stop, but I would be looking at a DWI for sure plus addition charges, might lose my job and embarrass my wife and family. That's a lot to think about in a split second. I can honestly say, I would hope that I would stop. But if I were in that situation, I have no idea what I would do.
For all you posters that jump all over posts like this because you think assumptions are being made, I am NOT saying that ML was drinking in driving, just giving an example!!
Well said Ricojes....no one knows exactly what they'd do in a situation like this because no one has the identical same set of circumstances to deal with. If your career, your livelihood, your personal life were all on the line would you INSTANTLY make the right, moral decision in that split second you have to make it? Anyone who says "yes" is fooling themselves.
Again, not making assumptions, but if it is proven that Marshawn did drive the car and strike a pedestrian, then he deserves the negative criticism and punishment that will come his way. Until then, lets all get of our f___ing pedestals and let justice run its course.
-
Now is not the time for this thread, Bill. Both of Hardy's prior "incidents" have really been family situations -- can you disagree? In this instance he MAY have been in the car, but we still don't even know that. If he was, and wasn't driving, how is that anything other than bad luck?
Why can't folks leave well enough alone until they know what the facts are? That's the ONLY thing I've been preaching since day one.
Facts are not required in the court of public opinion....

A senator from British Columbia has introduced a bill hoping to prevent the National Football League from expanding north of the border.
Interesting if anything foolish to think a government could pass a bill preventing a sports league from setting shop....
-
I am very disappointed and don't see how someone can defend this behavior. Where there is smoke there is fire
I am very disappointed a whole lot of you can't wait until the evidence is in before deciding to run a player out of town.

When you "think stuff is overpriced", in this case booze, you might sneak a bottle of booze in a bar. You'd order a pepsi or whatever and then inconspicuously poor some of the booze into the drink. But when you blatantly carry in a bottle of booze and poor it into a mixer in full view of everyone, that's believing that you are above the rules. That is a "my sh-- don't stink, look at me" statement right there. There's a big difference and I do hope he "grows out" of that arrogant @sshole attitude....
Assumption again. The article doesn't mention Marshawn flaunting the bottle around nor does it say anything about him just walking thru the front door waving it around. If we're assuming, why can't we assume he snuck it in his shoe and got caught when they saw him pouring it under the table into his Pepsi?
We don't even know what the liquor was either. What if it was Crystal or a 80 year old scotch he wanted to celebrate with?
Assumptions can go both ways.
-
Sounds like a real loser.
We don't blame him really. He had a tough upbringing too, parents split when he was an infant and he grew up dirt poor. We shrug it off because he may be cheap but he's still a nice guy and we respect that he made himself something instead of playing the "my life was sh-- and it's everyone's fault but mine so I'm excused to be a failure" card.

My post has nothing to do with the hit and run incident. I have no idea what happened and will not comment on it unil I do. It's the other stuff in the article, bad interpretation dude...
Sorry mate, didn't see the LINK in there and I thought you were commenting on this incident.
The article itself is bs, nothing more than an attempt to discredit Marshawn's credibility via his cheapness on not paying for drinks and cops ASSUMING he has a cavalier attitude about traffic violations. I have a cavalier attitude about traffic violations too. I think speeding limits at certain times of day are stupid. Does that make me a felon or a person of moral corruption?
-
Yeah - he must have had savings on the brain when he bought his 500k condo and Porsche SUV.
Ahhh....yes..but those are physical items that have value. Marshawn sneaking in booze reminds me of a friend of mine who's a millionaire. Buys himself all the fancy toys he can, the nicest car, home, etc. But you know how he got rich, by being the cheapest SOB when it came to spending money on things like eating out, buying a round, buying a birthday present for friends, never taking vacations, never chipping in for things etc. His attitude was that why waste money on things you can get much cheaper (like booze and food) or get no "return" on when you can use it to buy nice things for yourself

according to the Buffalo News.
Including:
But some police officers in Buffalo and Hamburg are not surprised to hear that Lynch is having legal difficulties.
Lynch was tossed out of two Chippewa Street bars in recent months because he brought in his own bottle of liquor, which is illegal under state alcohol laws, according to three law enforcement officials.
“[buffalo police] have been told by bar owners that he’ll walk in, order a glass of pop and pour his own liquor into it,” one officer said. “He was told that you can’t do that, and it doesn’t matter if you’re Marshawn Lynch.”
Law enforcement officials in the Southtowns said Lynch attended a meeting several months ago with three high-ranking members of the Town of Hamburg police. At least one member of Lynch’s family and a Bills security official also attended.
The meeting was arranged after Lynch complained that police were being tough on him and his family, said a police official who works closely with that department.
“From what I understand, it was a case of ‘Let’s clear the air here,’ ” the source said. “They thought the police were picking on them.”
Town police impounded a vehicle that Lynch had been using and lent to a relative. Authorities said the vehicle was impounded after that relative was arrested for violating a vehicle and traffic law.
After the impoundment, Lynch went to Police Headquarters to reclaim the vehicle, but police wouldn’t give it to him, because it actually belonged to a local car dealer.
Lynch had a disagreement with some police personnel over the release of the vehicle, apparently prompting the clear-the-air meeting, sources said.
In addition, Orchard Park police investigated one minor incident, last Dec. 13, near the end of the Bills’ season. A vehicle apparently driven by Lynch struck a pole outside Ralph Wilson Stadium. Police responded, but no charges were filed, according to Orchard Park police records.
Town of Hamburg police have dealt with Lynch and his family on mostly minor matters, usually involving vehicle and traffic laws.
That is why one law enforcement official was not surprised to hear about the latest incident involving Lynch’s vehicle.
“God, no, I wasn’t surprised at all,” the source said. “It follows a pattern. It’s the kind of stuff he’s been doing. He’s just so cavalier about everything. That was always my impression.”
Responsible reporting at its finest...
It's pretty obvious in the court of public opinion, this article is trying to get you to find Marshawn guilty with no charge.
1) He gets traffic tickets -> he's a reckless driver (even though there is no mention of what the fines and tickets were for i.e. speeding? parking in a no-parking zone, no left turn signal?)
2) He brings his own liquor to bars and gets tossed out for it -> he's cheap and a troublemaker
3) The "source" and his/her comment about his "cavalier" attitude -> paints him as so non-chalant about criminal activity like traffic violations that OF COURSE you could see him hitting someone and driving away from the scene...
And you wonder why people hate the media.
-
Mamma said to save every penny! Free booze is still cheaper than any booze in the NYC area!
I laughed at this too. I consider this a holdover from his upbringing. Remember that he did grow up dirt poor and money is new to him. Maybe he's the kind of person that squirrels away all he can for fear he might lose it all again.
-
Looks like ML has the "I'm an NFL player, you can't touch me" attitude. I really didn't get that impression when he was drafted, he seemed pretty humble. But I guess millions of dollars will change things a bit. It's discouraging to hear some of this stuff. Athletes are so lucky to be making insane amounts of money for playing a game, it's a shame that some think they are untouchable...
What exactly are you basing this assumption on? The fact that he is following his lawyers' advice and not talking to the media or the police? Or do you hang out with him on a daily basis and he's been bragging about how easily he's getting away with a felony? How do you know what state of mind Marshawn has about his "untouchability"?
The number of assumptions and accusations made on both sides of this case are completely baseless and fruitless. Why? Because none of us have any more proof than what the media (and the police thru the media) has told us. For those of you who wish to have Marshawn drawn and quartered, can we at least wait til he is CHARGED WITH A CRIME to do so? Normally I would ask that you wait til he be found guilty or all the evidence comes out but I think that's asking too much of many of you.
-
Well Marshawn, see ya later, don't let the door hit ya in the ass on the way out.
I thought you were the one who was leaving? Why are you still here? How do you find the time to write when the street corner needs you to man the soap box telling us "the end is near"?
-
If one of the titles is "award for most number of players judged by popular opinion and the media as criminals by a holier-than-thou fanbase" then yes, Buffalo could be considered Titletown....
-
Let me get this straight. You're preaching from atop Mt. Moral, yet suggesting lying to the cops is an "attractive" solution if certain people were involved?
Saints and Angels we are...Insects are the Bills.....
Round up Marshawn, Hardy, Parrish and the announce guy...shoot them all and let God figure it out!!!
Spread the message from atop Mt. Moral!! Spread it!

The reason why I asked this is I hosted a grad party for one of my nephews just this past year.
- There was underaged drinking....but no one was allowed to leave unless they were picked up.
- I had a group of security (guys I knew) that were stationed both in front of the house and in the back. Not one fight.
- I even bought him a stripper
- Anyone who did not have a ride or was too intoxicated had to stay at my house that night.
It was the only time I have ever done this for anyone.......and for some reason I have the reputation of the coolest parents in town. Nobody complained. But to this day I have mixed feelings about it.
Umm...can you throw my grad party...?
I'm amazed at how many saints and angels the Bills have as fans...especially on this particular forum...
-
Absolutely. It's been said a bunch of times already, but it can't be emphasized enough. High school kids will drink, no laws or punishments will prevent this. So when the cops make parents afraid to provide a safe environment where kids can stay over, drink, and not drive home, they encourage kids to find an unsupervised place to drink where driving, fighting, using hard drugs, etc are 900% more likely to occur. The drinking age should be 18, but if its not, at least there should be exceptions made for parties where there is adult supervision.
Reading this report the only thing that pops into my head is "don't these cops have any 'real crime' to fight?". It just seems like a bunch of sour puss keystone cops that heard wind of a party and decided to break it up. No complaints from the neighbors, no LEGITIMATE (I know in Canada that if supervised, underage drinking is permitted to some degree) criminal activity.
It doesn't seem like these teens were bothering anyone in a controlled environment but the cops decided to be buzz kills anyway....
I think back to my grad (I was 17) and the SCHOOL provided a rented ball room at a hotel that we could drink in and celebrate our graduation in overnight. Of course the drinking age here is 18, but the law is the law right? I don't recall police officers busting down the door and charging my principal with corruption of a minor...

You don't think it's odd so many seats are left for those games? After the hype of the 180,000 name waiting list? Either they overpriced the tickets or interest is much lower than believed.
PTR
They definitely over-priced the tickets. As a Canadian fan in Ottawa with many friends in Toronto, the common comment I kept hearing prior to the seat sale was "why would I pay $175 for a ticket when I can drive to Buffalo and pay $30 for the same one? That, and I can actually TAIL GATE".
I was one of the "lucky" winners of the early admission draw. As soon as I saw the prices I balked. It would cost my friends and I less in gas, hotel and beer/food to go to Buffalo and hang out with the faithful than it would just for tickets to hang out with the snobby "elite" in Toronto.
Add it all up and you get what you get here. Fan APATHY to an expensive product. That and maybe stupid Toronto sports fans are just saving their cash so that they might be able to afford to go a Leafs game.
Leafs suck.

Sad to hear this. This is how I feel about this. Who ever was driving needs to confess and take what they deserve. Marshawn knows who it was. He needs to man up and tell what he knows.
Say you were involved in this situation and it was your brother or a close cousin that was the driver...Would you "man up" and sell him out to the police especially knowing now that the woman wasn't severely injured? Some people place family over the law.
It's easy to "make the right call" when it doesn't involve you remotely doesn't it?
Can we all let the facts come out before we tar and feather him out of town? Or are we just trying to save on air fare and book a charter flight for all the Bills that we want to run out so they can fly out together? Yeesh..

I prefer a coach who plays to win football games, not plays them to not lose them. His ultra-conservative game-planning strikes absolutely no fear in opposing coaches and barring that one 13-3 season as head coach of the Bears, Jauron has proven nothing other than a coach who can get you to mediocrity. I will say that few coaches prepare a team for game day like Jauron, he always had the boys ready to play and be competitive...but by the time the kick was off, the Bills went into a defense-first, keep-it-close plan that let us beat bad teams, and let us get thumped by good teams. What is the Bills record during Jauron's tenure against teams that are playoff-bound? That record speaks for itself...
As for Trent, he's still green. I am hoping for a season where he gets steadily better and can actually play in cold weather.
-
Yea, OK buddy.
Mods, close this thread, one has already been started about this same damn topic.
You suck. Get back to humping animals like your quote so proudly boasts...
Signed it from Ottawa, Canada. Last year, the city rallied around a young boy named Elgin Fraser who passed away after a valiant battle against cancer. He was a huge Sens fan and took his last breath as the team won in OT to get to the Stanley Cup finals...it was a real tearjerker of a story. Players from the team were pall bearers.
The Canadian Government is on the Buffalo's Side?

I'm not sure I gather what you're saying in your first point. Can you please clarify? I'm just stating that this would take away a relocation option (Toronto) away from the Bills moving team.
I can only think of two instances where American businesses were prevented from coming into Canada and that was in the case of satellite companies. Canada was able to get that passed due to our airtime regulation laws. The last high-profile case was trying to prevent Walmart (years ago) from crossing the border but judging by the 10 I have in a five mile radius that one didn't pass...
