POTW Spotlight: Marshawn Lynch

Welcome to POTW Spotlight. A new series to gives folks something to read and to report on those great stories that for some reason or another miss the regular POTW reports. Check back often for more POTW Spotlights.

Marshawn Lynch is only in his second season. His second season will begin in about week 4 as he has already managed to get suspended for the first 3 games for violating the league personal conduct policy. No truth to the rumor the violation was the fact that he has dread locks that look like they have not been washed in 15 years or the fact he has a gold grill:


Career Highlights:
June 2006: While not an arrest Lynch is the accidental target of a drive-by shooting. The gunmen shot up his car only to find out that Lynch was not their target...the gunmen called Lynch's mom to apologize (I couldn't make this shit up)

January 2007: accused of sexual assault by his former girlfriend. Arrested but never charged

March 2007: Good new for Lynch! A judge lifts the restraining order that his ex-girlfriend filed against him. Note that it was lifted because it was "improperly obtained" not because Lynch is a harmless person (see above photo)

June 2008: Pled guilty to a hit-and-run accident in which he ran over a female pedestrian

February 2009: Lynch is arrested again when police find him in car with two companions smoking pot...and in possession of a loaded firearm (don't bother asking if he had a permit for the weapon)

April 2009: Obviously overwhelmed by his track record in only one season in the league Commissioner Roger Goodell rewards Lynch by giving him the first 3 games of the 2009 season off.


FUN WITH MARSHAWN:
At the 1:35 min. mark Lynch pats himself vigorously on the back and celebrates with his friends when he learns of "spell check" on his computer. No doubt spell check is a God send for Lynch since he did attend Berkley. That's right folks, this guy attended Cal.

  1. I'm suprised to hear that the Rookie of the Year party was the first time he had seen umpa lumpa's running around.

  2. The umpa lumpa video is pretty damn good also, but most people already saw that one so "Spell Check Lynch" won out for the blog
