My T&R

Twenty-seven days after a luxury SUV struck a Canadian woman in the Chippewa entertainment district and kept going, Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch admitted he was behind the wheel. "I didn't know my car had hit anyone or anything," Lynch mumbled to reporters Friday afternoon before heading into traffic court to plead guilty to a violation. "So I continued on my way home. I apologize to Ms. [Kimberly] Shpeley for any injuries she suffered." The hit-and-run had touched off a nearly monthlong debate about whether Lynch was behind the wheel and whether he was getting special treatment because he was a professional football player. But it all ended with little fanfare in the drab confines of Hearing Room 1 in the Traffic Violation Bureau in Ellicott Square. Lynch was assessed a $100 fine, and his driver's license and car registration were revoked.

He got special treatment b/c he is an NFL player...do ya think? Or do you think it took the cops and DA that long to get their case together. Probably the latter. Buffalo is not in the least bit impressed with NFL players. They appreciate people who get up and do their job and don't complain and pay their bills on time and have a beer and a fish fry on a Friday night for a treat. Buffalonians are salt of the earth. This guy thought he was "special."
