PFW: Bills financial struggles ought to keep Lynch from suspension
Bills' financial struggles ought to keep Lynch from suspension

After the latest installment of “Bills Bahaving Badly,” no longer is the disheartening saga in Buffalo merely sidebar material.
It’s one thing for peripheral players such as DE Anthony Hargrove, WR-PR Roscoe Parrish and rookie WR James Hardy to sully their reputations with off-field misconduct. It’s another thing altogether when the player some are touting as the next Thurman Thomas finds himself in a legal quagmire.
It’s been a little over a week now since RB Marshawn Lynch’s Porsche SUV reportedly struck a pedestrian, then sped off in an apparent hit-and-run. Erie County District Attorney Frank Clark has said he believes Lynch was behind the wheel at the time, and while it’s always best to reserve final judgment until there is a conviction (or even charges), it’s certainly not looking good for the outstanding second-year back.
If the allegations leveled against him prove true, Lynch should immediately be in pole position for Buffalo’s Bonehead of the Year award. It’s stupid, selfish and morally reprehensible. He should not only be forced to pay restitution to the woman he bruised and bloodied (luckily, she didn’t suffer any debilitating injuries), but the payment should come from the sale of his big-boy toy — clearly, he’s not mature enough to handle it. His license ought to be suspended, if not revoked, and he’d be wise to start familiarizing himself with the city’s transit system.................

I read the thread title and my first thought is What financial struggles? I guess to some if they're not making as much as they could in Toronto they're struggling?
