Default Re: RB Marshawn Lynch, SEA - *** SOLD *** to Opihi (2550), pending Preds decision

Let's run down why we came to this decision:

#1 reason - Marshawn's long history of off-field incidents and quirkiness:
  • Blew through his first signing bonus playing Skee-Ball (this is just quirky funny)
  • Misdemeanor gun charge after being pulled over in a vehicle with no plates and deeply tinted windows (dumb)
  • Hit-and-run incident that involved a female pedestrian that Lynch hit and drove away from in the downtown Buffalo bar district (this was an ugly incident he plead off on but truly showed bad character on his behalf. (Ugly)
  • Well known to treat service workers in Buffalo with disrespect and arrogance, often cheap with tips and orders. Known to often bring his own liquor to bars, which isn't legal in NY. (sad)
  • Suspended for 3 games at start of the 2009 season for off-field issues (concerning)
  • Arrested for suspicion of DUI in 2012 (plead off on this charge too, we have no tolerance for DUI)
  • Eats too many sweets (Skittles addiction has to be concerning)
In all seriousness, we wish Marshawn the best of luck with our rivals the Opihi and hope their fearless leader, Pastor Jim, can assist in rehabilitating an individual who while a great football player, we feel in many ways is bit of a lost soul who could benefit from Pastor Jim's guidance.
No mention of how retaining Lynch would bust your cap. Of course we all knew that and Jim bailed you out.
