Lynch Arrested On Felony Weapons Charge
Bills Statement: The Bills released this statement on the Marshawn Lynch incident: "We can confirm that Marshawn was arrested in California and has retained an attorney. We are in the process of trying to gather the facts and will not offer a comment while that process is ongoing."
Lynch Arrest Confirmed: All major outlets now have confirmed that Marshawn Lynch was arrested on Wednesday on a gun possession charge. He allegedly had a loaded weapon in a car. The incident took place in Culver City, California and Lynch was released on $35,000 bond that evening. It is unclear at this time why the car was being investigated by police.
Looks Like It Was Lynch: Pro Football Talk website reports that a press release emailed to them by Culver City Police confirms that it was the Bills Marshawn Lynch who was arrested for felony possession of a concealed weapon. After pulling over a 2006 Mercedes Benz it is reported that a loaded firearm was found and it was determined to reportedly belonged to Lynch. He was booked and later released on $35,000 bond. If these allegations are true Lynch will most likely face problems with the commissioner's office along with any legal hurdles he has. This incident comes on the heels of last May's incident in which a car driven by Lynch hit a pedestrian. He pled guilty to failing to use sufficient care to avoid hitting a pedestrian and was fined $100 dollars.
Lynch Arrest Rumor: There is a rumor around the internet, and we stress it is still just a rumor, that Marshawn Lynch was arrested on Wednesday on felony gun possession. What is known is a Marshawn Terrell Lynch was arrested for carrying a loaded firearm and released later. Nobody has been able to say if it was the Bills' Marshawn Terrell Lynch. It is surprising, that if this did happen on Wednesday, that it hasn't been leaked. No main stream media outlets are reporting this at this time. We will keep you posted.

Lynch Plays Well: Marshawn Lynch played well in his first appearance in the Pro Bowl during the AFC's 30-21 loss to the NFC. Lynch finished tied for a game high 48 yards rushing. He did it in only six carries as he averaged eight yards a pop. His longest run was for 18 yards and also had a 17 yard run. He was vintage Marshawn on a fourth and one play when he fought on his own to get the yard for the first down. He had one catch for two yards as well. On the negative side he was called for holding once. Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals picked up where he left off in the Super Bowl as he scored two touchdowns.
Last Chance For Football: Many people don't like the Pro Bowl but it is the last chance for football until the Bills battled the Titans during the Hall of Fame game on August 9th. There is one Bill to watch today as Marshawn Lynch is the lone Bill that will play today.

Jackson An Interesting Story: Fred Jackson re-iterated his stance to ESPN.com's Tim Graham when he said he wants a long term deal from the Bills and stay in Buffalo his whole career. Of course as a restricted free agent Jackson has no barganing power. If the Bills tender him an offer of $460,000 he is stuck with the Bills. Buffalo will probably try to honor Jackson's request with a three or four year deal but they don't have to. A qualifier offer locks him up for another year. It makes for an interesting off season dilemma for the Bills.

Simpson was arrested following an altercation outside a South Carolina bar in which he came upon a scene where his friends were being arrested and he was taken in after allegedly interfering with the arrests.

He had a 15 minute workout yesterday with the team's trainers and also underwent an MRI and had x-rays. It was concluded he won't need the surgery that would have meant six months of rehabilitation.

Schobel said his stride was fine and he could play right now if he had to but he does need to get ready for the season. He called it a big relief that he doesn't need surgery. Injury Page.
