Buffalo Running Back Marshawn Lynch pleaded guilty to 'failure to exercise due care toward a pedestrian' today, finally ending the saga that has lasted for a whole month, despite being something that could probably have been cleared up in two days.
Lynch lost his driving license for an unspecified amount of time, something that should technically prohibit him from making a similiar mistake. One thing that seems to have become clearer is why this took so long. It seems that Lynch was genuinely unaware that he clipped 27yr old Kimberly Shpeley. She suffered a bruised hip and required 7 stitches to a wound on her thigh, and has stated that she is considering a civil lawsuit against Lynch.
Is it possible to hit someone, even in a Hummer, and not know about it? Perhaps a reader who owns one could let us know.
Commisioner Roger Goodell, who has been in New York State all week, has said that the league will "... wait and see what the facts are and then we'll decide whether it's a violation or if it has any involvement in our personal conduct policy."
It is doubtful that Lynch will serve a suspension, though he will likely be fined.
