What ever happened to setting a good example for our children. Marshawn should have received some type of punishment or fine.

When you are in the public eye with the public paying your wages, the employer should be a disciplinarian.

No suprise there!!!! Just another spoiled rotten brat. Sorry, Marshawn, I was a huge supporter of you and had high hopes, but now that you are just another idiot, count me out. You should be ashamed of yourself. I am sure this is just the begining of what you are really all about

He was someone kids looked up to. He set a VERY POOR EXAMPLE for the youth of today. His "LEAVING THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT" speaks volumes about his character. He should have admitted is guilt in the beginning instead of hiding behind his attorney. VERY POOR EXAMPLE!

Marshawn hit a Canandian coming home from a bar,
On Chippawa street with his new Porsche car---
He did not bother to stop,
Or even talk to a cop---
So remember, if you hit someone on the street,
Don't talk to the police, just beat a retreat!

The Commissioner will like put the Marshawn incident in the same file as he did the Billy B. Spygate affair. Goodell should work for the federal DOJ, the gutless, spineless wonder!

There is plenty of blame to go around, starting with Marshawn, permeating the entire Bills organization, and ending with the League. What a shame! I will not attend another NFL function until they clean up their act - with more than just words!

Guess Buffalo is hard up not to proscecute one of their disgusting, ignorant players. Well, the only hope is he'll get sacked and never be able to be a football player again. One thing sure, it sounds like he'll always be a player. What a DISGRACE YOU ARE - BOTH OF YOU.

A brother get a break????the black **** should be strung up by his thumbs. If it had been a poor black person, he would be in jail now...but because he is rich, and a pro player, he gets nothing. that's just plain b/s
Sick of the Bills h-t

What do you expect. Ralph Wilson has been raping this region for years and the fans keep comming back for more. Why should that POS Lynch be any differnt. When it comes to football in Western New York this proves the fans are STUCK ON STUPID.

I've been a Bills Fan since I was knee high to my Dad, back in the Rockpile days. What I saw today, and in the last few weeks sickens me. The message here from The Bills organization, The NFL Commissioner, the Buffalo media(who has remained virtually silent) and Marshawn himself is "Just pretend you didn't know you ran over and left another human being to die, after partying into the wee hours, and driving drunk. The Bills Organization will take care of the cover-up. The Buffalo media can be counted on to keep quiet, so as not to ruffle any feathers( in case the Bills REALLY decide to leave), and Marshawn can go on to be the shining star he so clearly is. What a shame this is the kind of message Buffalo sends the country, and more importantly our youngsters. Back in Marv's day, Marshawn would have been suspended immediately. Those were the days when Bills players either had integrity, or were made to stand tall by Marv if they didn't. I am so disappointed in the Bills and our local medias lack of response to Marshawn's obvious lack of concern for the woman's life or injuries, that I am afraid to say, I will be supporting a different team this fall for the first time in my life. Good-Bye Bills. Go Cleveland !

Boo Bills! You, Marshawn Lynch and Roger Goodell should be ashamed of yourselves!! This city has been through so much without LACK OF CHARACTER adding to that list. I am completely disappointed by the lack of accountability regarding this incident. I have lived in Buffalo my whole life and for the first year, I cannot, in good conscience, root for such a shallow and cowardly organization.

Wow...that just shows again how the NFL continues to allow and seem to even promote ongoing criminal activity by it's players. Another poor black youth with too much money and power...a slap on the hand to him which will teach no lesson and a huge slap in the face and embarrassment to Buffalo and it's fans. Way to go Marshawn...break your legs!
