When news broke that Marshawn Lynch was involved in a hit and run, I saw the Bills upcoming season flashing before my eyes: Trent Edwards getting sacked five times a game, having a starting RB who went to Coe College (Fred Jackson), a severe lack of deep passes sending Lee Evans into a Chad Johnson-esque hissy-fit, and, perhaps worst of all, no more brilliantly crafted blog posts from Lynch.
But, for all the speculation surrounding Lynch and the possible legal ramifications, in the end, he received a $100 traffic ticket and his license is getting revoked. Lynch issued this statement:
"Please know that I was unaware that my car had made contact with anyone until after this investigation had begun. I would never knowingly leave the scene of an accident and did not do so in this instance."
Who would've guessed Marshawn Lynch wasn't the greatest driver.
