You would think that if there was probable cause it would be in the press release. Such as: Officers stopped a Mercedes for... However, all it says is "came into contact with".

The internet didn't exist back then. If it did I think there'd be more than we know. JMO

Well, let's cut the cops a break. I mean it's not like LA cops have a bad reputation with black people.

Why was Lynch stopped? Do you know? The press release doesn't say anything except "came into contact". Don't make silly statements comparing this to a known crime.

BTW, Buffalo Bills Pro Bowl running back Marshawn Lynch has been arrested and charged with felony possession of a concealed firearm, according to a press release from the Culver City Police Department. The announcement confirms that it was Lynch who was involved in this incident last Wednesday night. According to a police announcement e-mailed to Pro Football Talk, Culver City police officers were patrolling the Fox Hills area of Culver City when they came into contact with three adult males in a 2006 Mercedes Benz. After speaking with the occupants, they determined that one of the men in the car was Lynch, the Bills starting running back. A field investigation led to the “discovery of a loaded firearm.” According to the report: “The officers determined the gun belonged to Lynch and he was arrested for possesion of a concealed firearm.” Lynch was tranported to the booking center and was later released on $35,000 bond. Police officials said that the case will be submitted to the District Attorney’s office for filing consideration. As Mike Florio wrote when he first reported about the arrest in two posts earlier today, Lynch could possibly face sanctions under the NFL’s personal conduct policy depending on his legal status and how NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell views this incident. This sounds like a stop for DWB (Driving While Black). What does "came into contact" mean? Three black guys in a Mercedes? It also sounds like they asked if they could search the car and found the weapon. I'd like to know what probable cause allowed them to do that?

The evidence on the police report was overwhelming. The only thing was a missing 2 on the birth date. Man ESPN et. al. really dropped the ball on this one. Internet posters managed to scoop them. Yeah, we need guys who won't see the field because of suspensions. I believe football character is defined as as guy who is self motivated and never takes a down off.

There was a good article in ESPN the magazine on athletes hiring body guards. In Ben Roethlisberger's first year he hired some body guards and his teammates thought he was a head case. Now they realize how smart it is.

The high pitch sound is probably the belt sliding. Take it to a service guy to have it tightened. my mechanic used to take a 2 x 4 and put it on a professional's jack and push part of the pump up so the belt would loosen and he'd tighten it in that position and then lower it and it was tighter than Beerball holds a penny. I wouldn't suggest you try that. He was doing that to my car 25 years ago. I doubt it's possible anymore.

Got it. Thanks. I didn't make the connection between the two.

Who is Rhianna?

I thought in Texas that gun permits were stapled to birth certificates.

I was just about to start a thread about this too. Here's the SI article. What a douchebag. Maybe he wasn't wearing pants to wipe his hands on.

It's still a felony and Goodell is going to give him time off if this is true.

BTW, Labonte came in second the year Sr. won the Daytona 500. I still remember the race Sr. died at. He was pushing Waltrip to the win. His death was a catalyst to the whole safety revolution that's taken place since then. It doesn't seem he died in vain.

Thanks, I am. If Bobby wins today I'll be feeling great. It's not that as much as it is that Plexiglass just got arrested for the same thing. If he's going into areas that he feels he needs a weapon for then don't go or hire body guards like a lot NFL players are doing now.

That's great he can use all the fans he can get. He seems to be very unpopular. I've been a Bobby Labonte fan since 1998 when I first started getting into NASCAR. He's the only guy/team I've followed that's ever won it all. It's a sad day today. My friend who died about a month ago was a big Jr. fan and he'd be cooling the beers, getting the snacks and sitting down with his kids to watch the race.

I'm not sure that's something I want to do after you put a after it.

Get a second opinion. PSF isn't something to with. That leak is going to get progressively worse and one day your steering will become extremely hard to control. I'd get a second opinion and get it fixed.

Peace dude. No offense intended. I guess I'm just pissed at him. I'd like to think it isn't him but unfortunately I'm seeing the writing on the wall. He will probably be suspended for four games at the beginning of the year and he may be traded by Ralph. Grrrr.

I emailed Chris Brown about it. I'll let you know if he responds.
