A nasty confrontation is shaping up at Ralph Wilson Stadium today, but it won’t be the kind of clash that football fans might expect.
Lining up on one side are star running back Marshawn Lynch and at least three other Buffalo Bills players who are believed to have information about the hit-and-run accident involving Lynch’s sport utility vehicle and a pedestrian in the city’s Chippewa Entertainment District.
On the other side are investigators for the Buffalo police and Erie County District Attorney Frank J. Clark, who are frustrated over their dealings with the Bills players.
Buffalo Police Officer Allan A. Kasprzak will go to the stadium in Orchard Park this afternoon and try to question three or more Bills players about the night of the accident, authorities said.
“I expect [Bills players] to be cooperative and truthful,” Clark said. “If I get any indication that they are anything less than cooperative and truthful, I will go to the grand jury, which will compel them to testify.”
Great. Way to make this situation more of a distraction than it needs to be. My guess is that whoever they are questioning will lie, and this shit will then go to a grand jury and become a gigantic mess. Marshawn should just suck it up and admit what happened, because I doubt he’ll get into that deep of shit since the cops even admitted “As [Shpeley] crossed the road, another woman was walking in front of her. The woman in front of Shpeley was kind of dancing and singing in the street . . . like ‘Singin’ in the Rain.’ That could have distracted whoever was driving Marshawn’s car,” a law enforcement official said. “It could very well be that the driver never saw [Shpeley] and didn’t know he hit her.”
I doubt Roger Goodell is going to hand down a Pacman-like suspension for unknowingly clipping some drunk broad on Chippewa, and I highly doubt that Lynch will go to jail for it. End this crap already.
