I really think you all would expect me to hate the guy but I do not.  I love Lynch.  I love his play, I adore his personality because he is true to himself even if he is a bit of a jerk, and I very much appreciate the no nonsense approach he takes to a lot of stuff.

 

The Seahawks robbed him from us on that trade, it sucked.  A 4th for him?  Jeesh, but he was not going to succeed in Buffalo and it was better for him even if we wasted the pick.

 

Anyway, Lynch found a wallet at the gas station and drove it to the owner.  He gets a lot of bad press over nonsense but this is making some headlines and it is good to see.  In Buffalo he supposedly took $20 out of a woman's hand at Applebees, refused to pay at several of the locations, and then hit a woman with his truck (though, that was overblown).

Off topic which its good to see him do good btw,

I think the reason buffalo was willing to trade him for a 4th rounder is because the incident when he hit the women with a truck he got charged for a DUI correct? He had a gun charge which resulted in him being suspended, and he was injuried each year he played there. On top of the other stuff going on, he was on the old rookie scale for contracts, Fred Jackson came out of no where (much cheaper and no incidents) which made it easier to let him go. Hindsight is 20/20 but I remember thinking it was good he was traded cause he couldn't stay out of trouble and this could be a wake up call.

Before drafting Spiller the Bills had J Bell, Marshawn and Fred Jackson on their roster.  Then they added Spiller.

 

It was good for him to be traded, Carroll has always loved Lynch - even out of HS.

It was great to do that. I heard it was even a 49ers wallet.

it was a Seattle fan. The guy said he wanted a pic with Lynch at the gas station but decided not to bother him. He was happy his neighbor got to meet Lynch and WR Ricardo Lockette, who unfortunately is getting no credit for the co-good deed bc he's not famous

Yeah, because the NFL fining him for not speaking to the press is a clear indication the guy is a jerk. This because it's the only way you could ever consider it a possibility of knowing the guy.

 

The misdemeanor gun charge in California? The gun was inside his backpack, which was in the trunk of his car. Not like it was on the console next to him. That was in 2009, by the way. Since joining the Seahawks in 2010, there have been no issues... but please don't allow anyone to grow up, mature or otherwise pay their debt and move on.

      The new (released today) FOX ONE app will allow you access to watch your Local FOX Station - similar to how the Paramount Plus app allows you access to watch your local CBS station It'll cost you $20/month for the privilege, but if you're having trouble accessing the over-the-air antenna for FOX, this could be an option to consider the new ESPN app will give you access to ESPN content, but not to the local ABC affiliate. A reminder: if you currently get ESPN via some TV provider (cable, satellite, youtube, etc) then you should be able to use the new ESPN app via your provider login, no additional payment required

      XL went to one of the worst teams in the NFL.  One that features a weak passing O and bad overall QB play on the season.   XL is getting way too much hate IMO.   He had an okay rookie season all things considered.   Very much on par w/ prospects that projected around the same area with him.   Panthers made a 2nd rounder a first round technicality for that contract.  XL also getting this weird kicker type blame for games.  XL somehow single handedly lost us games on one play.....and then we ignore the rest of the team that went about losing the game for 4 quarters.   Should he of caught the Philly ball? 100%.  The O and D still played like garbage that entire game.  Even after the drop, Panthers had two shots starting w/ a 3rd and 4 to convert.  They kept playing bad instead.  And even if we XL made the play....Philly would have had a minute and half to get into FG range to win it.  Who is banking on the Panther D getting that stop?  also, I am deemed Mr. Negative, yet here I am defending a no good dirty Gamecock lol
