This is very related. Has someone shot at you while you were sitting in your car? I'm sure Marshawn was just sitting in his car "minding his own business" when a car appeared out of nowhere and began shooting at him. Right. Where there's smoke, there's fire. In light of his other run ins with the law (the ones where he has actually been caught), it's not hard to imagine that some shady dealings lead to him being shot at.

We all do stupid things when we are young?? That's right where I stopped reading. No, most of us are not victims of drive-bys, we don't do hit and runs, we are not caught smoking pot with concealed handguns, and we certainly don't have all 3 of those happen to us in a short span of 3 years. As for the OPs question, no, he won't make it. He has already established a solid pattern of no respect for the law. But, I don't think he'll get thrown in jail. He has a good lawyer.

Who is Peters gonna text this coming summer while he's holding out now?

Our FO is totally inept at finding talented TEs in the draft. They have spent over 10 years proving this over and over. It's best that they pick someone up that another team has drafted. I would give up a 2nd or a 3rd for this guy.

It's not an assault rifle. Semi-automatic AK's are perfectly legal in the US - as long as it is not modified to be automatic. As some one above pointed out, if semi-automatic, it's justlike any other rifle sold in the US - just looks different because we are so used to seeing bin Laden or some Russian fire one on TV.

My brother has a semi-automatic AK. It's actually pretty fun to shot. We would bring it to the range to shoot. May this dude was just driving to the range? I'm sure Lynch and his buddies were driving to the range too.

And how would the public react once they find out a famous NFL RB had his charges of carrying an illegal gun suddenly dropped? There would also be outrage. The public is becoming less and less tolerant of these rich athletes thinking and acting like they are above the law. Maybe its being young, or just stupid, but these professional athletes are going to have to realize everything they do will be viewed under the microscope. Sitting in a parked car with a bunch of his dogs smoking blunts? With a loaded gun in the trunk? How did he think this situation was going to turn out? Edward probably smokes blunts too, but in the privacy of his house, likely with no gun or, if he has one, responsibly locked up.

Excellent post. Sure, you get shot at in college. Sh1t happens. 2nd time, he is driving the car in a hit and run. Everyone makes mistakes, right? 3rd time, carrying a loaded weapon without a permit. Well...he's been shot at before...or...maybe the police shouldn't have pulled him over...um...Marshawn's the victim here. C'mon, let's get real here. Perhaps people are throwing him under the bus because he has a well-established pattern with violence and breaking the law. Wake up. It's Lynch being Lynch. We may complain about Peter's greed, but has he broken any laws? Or Evans? Jackson? Why aren't they finding themselves in these situations?

Actually, it looks like he'll fit right in. He can have his locker right next to Lynch. btw, in light of the head stomp, didn't Brad Butler try to end Kiwanuka's career in college with his own cheapshot?

Character guys, him and Yokota.

I'm positive there are good DEs to be had in the 2nd and even 3rd round. The biggest question is, especially with their recent (last 10 drafts or so) DE drafting history, will the Bills actually be able to select them?

Yeah, maybe he'll bring back Tim Anderson with him.

Oh, I originally thought this was going to be a git er done thread. Well...let's hire this guy! As OC!

We just have to tender him a 1st round compensated contract. Anyone who wants him then would have to give us a first rounder. May be worth it in the long run.

I have no problem with Donte. He is a leader. But not knowing your record and how much your team is slipping away is worse than not knowing its 3rd down.

Yeah, pretty sad. Just more of a reason we need a coach with a strong personality (you know, just to remind the players they are losing).

Correct. It still applies. However, the distinction is that Singletary is not really the HC, but only an interim HC. Therefore, the Rooney rule applies to them hiring a new coach. As someone else pointed out, ask Haslett. And I don't think what San Fran is doing is right. It is true, Singletary is black and the Rooney rule is supposed to lead to more black coaches. However, most proponents of the Rooney Rule would say that is does more than this. It offers interviewing "practice" for black candidates and allow them to get their name out there and "network" with NFL people. This is the problem; by just handing Singletary the job, it actually hurts other black candidates in the process.

The majority owner of Miami, Huizenga, is looking to sell all/part of the team. He is set to make a bunch of money through capital gains. As it tentively stands now, Obama is looking to take a large chunk of those capital gains if he gains them after January 1st, 2009. This is why these owners are best to sell before Jan 09, or lose millions of dollars in taxes. The same goes for players. As you can see, baseball players are signing up now, so they won't have to cough up more of their signing bonuses later.

Sorry, I don't want to see anything that is described by "footage" and "dick" being in the same sentence.

Yes. This 0-6 is worse than the 2-7 slide at the end.

I think that's the beauty of it all. We don't really have to. We got Brandon (read: Ralph) as our GM. If we did have a real GM, yes, we would have to rip everything down.

OK, so in a "real world" situation (not necessarily Ralph's), if Mangina goes, Jauron HAS to get the ax. At least Mangina won some division games.

What part of 22 million under the cap, 3rd highest in NFL, don't you understand? http://www.askthecommish.com/salarycap/numbers.asp

Mind as well keep him and pay him. It's not like Ralph is going to use the money saved elsewhere if we trade him.

I'm curious, anyone know how many sacks Peters has allowed so far this year versus all of last year?
