I"m talking personally not from a "football player" standpoint here.
Whether he ends up with a simple mismeanor; gets any jail time or the more likely possibility of probation.
And whether he gets suspended by the league for 4 games, 1 game or 0 games.
I really hope he comes out PUBLIC with a heart-felt statement apologizing for his actions when its that time. I don't want to hear any scripted statement from his lawyer apologizing on his behalf and saying let's just move on. I want to hear directly from Lynch (once the legal stuff is settled). I'd like to hear some emotion come out of him.
I think it's crucial to his character and the way he'll be perceived. Own up. Say not only that you made a mistake, but how contrite you are at the lack of judgement you showed. Vow to make it up to the young woman you accidently struck, and to the fans of the community that are/have supported you. Basically, Im saying don't read just from a scripted peice of paper standing in front of a podium (when it's that time). Show you're remorse and show everybody how truly sorry you are that you ****ed up.
In less than one year, Lynch became one of if not my single-most favorite Bill on the team. I love the way he plays, he's fun and by all accounts off the field until this he's been regarded as a great citizen of the community. He has a lot of mending to do, and I hope it doesn't end once the legal and league ramifications of this incident play itself out.
This is a good football team in the making, and I feel like Lynch is a pretty good guy. But he made in what is my opinion, a deplorable mistake. So I hope he makes every effort to make things right, besides simply just accepting any penalty ramifications. And whether people agree or not, the Bills NEED this guy in the lineup. He brings to much to an offense that's not good enough to thrive without him (which is NOT the subject of this thread)
