Sounds more like a dooshbag cop who was upset that Lynch was flirting with his wife.

It just doesn't make any sense. It wasn't like he grabbed it off of a table where someone paid and left. He took it from her hand, if at all.

There's a HHHUUUUUUUUGGGEEE difference in "Stealing" and "Tacking" from someone. With that being said it sounds like he was joking but someone decided to take it overboard.

Really? With all the stupid things Lynch has done, you are giving him the benefit of the doubt? Sorry, not here. This sounds like Lynch through and through. Ugliest person in the NFL is also one of the worst mannered. You'd think that he'd have some redeemable qualities.

 

[the branded hand]

you make millions...but you decide to steal a $20 spot, you must be marshawn lynch.........

fixed:

you make millions, but decide to try to get your swerve on at TGIF's by taunting a cops wife with high school flirting tactics... you must be Marshawn Lynch after discovering a copy of Willis McGahee's little black book tucked away in the back of your locker.

Apparently Marshawn just can't be Marshawn in Buffalo. Two tears in a bucket... did he at least get digits? What a story he CONTINUES to be...

Uh...

Lynch then grabbed the money from her hand. He first played it off as a joke, but still didn't give the money back.

That is sorta stealing, anyway you slice it.

...and yet the cop didn't bother arresting Lynch right away......and he and his wife waited several WEEKS before giving their statement to police. That's not normal.

After Jacksons 200 yard performance in week 16 the sheriff felt comfortable that Marshawn no longer held any remaining value on his dynasty roster.

scale is relevant here. What if it had been a single dollar? A quarter? A penny?would anyone care?Marshawn doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt, but this sounds fishy to me...I'm leaning towards the 'flirting with his wife' angle, and the wife telling him she didn't like it to cover it up...when confronted about it, Lynch said he knew the woman but she denied knowing him...to me that points to him at least thinking that everything was a joke/OK, and her trying to cover up her involvement (rather than saying yeah i know this guy he's a #####)Lynch may have the mind of a child but he's not a 'predator' like they're trying to cast him as IMO.

So despite saying Lynch doesn't deserve the BoD, you give it to him and not to the woman. Interesting.

 

[Donnybrook]

Lynch threatened her saying "Do you know who I am?

She should have said "Aren't you Fred Jackson's back up?"

 

[adrenaline]

I think this is pretty simple, he knows he's never getting a big payday in the NFL.

lynch not deserving the benefit of the doubt is a factor in my perception, but I prefer to still listen to the whole story and think critically about both sides. Simply hearing his name involved doesn't make me automatically decide he's to blame--it would just take more to make me definitively decide otherwise than it would for another player. If both sides of the story sound equally plausible I wouldn't believe him, but if the other side sounds like BS I still trust my ability to detect BS.Is lynch a moron? yes. do i believe he took the money from her, and that he shouldn't have? yes. but this is not the same as robbing somebody. Those who think so have probably never been robbed. This looks to me like an idiot's attempt to flirt and two jackasses trying to blow it out of proportion.simply to play devil's advocate while we only have one side of the story, "do you know who I am? there will be consequences" could be a threat or could be an after-she-freaked-out 'please don't report this to the police, i'm on the hotseat in this town and there will be consequences for ME.'EDIT: do I believe he performed the actions he's accused of performing? absolutely. Do I believe that those actions, as described, connote a 'robbery' or 'predatory behavior?' no. These things depend on context, which could easily be being misrepresented here.

 

[SSOG]

...and yet the cop didn't bother arresting Lynch right away......and he and his wife waited several WEEKS before giving their statement to police. That's not normal.

The woman's husband, who just happens to be Buffalo Police Sgt. William Crawford, filed a complaint with police a day after the incident, but they delayed giving a statement to detectives until earlier this week, in part because she wanted to wait until the Bills' football season ended and Lynch was out of town because he threatened her friend.

 

[Not Sure]

Sounds more like a dooshbag cop who was upset that Lynch was flirting with his wife.

I agree. He's Marshawn Lynch dammit. He should be allowed to steal from and threaten people. It's just his bad luck that the chick's husband is a cop. Otherwise he should have gotten away with it no problem.

Have you seen Marshawn Lynch? He's one of the top 10 ugliest people to walk the planet. I seriously doubt a woman is going to appreciate any flirting from him.

1. Then why file the police report the next day? "Well, I'm too scared to describe the incident, but I'm not too scared to accuse him of theft."2. How does she even know that Lynch left town the day after the season ended? Maybe he comes and goes during the offseason?3. Besides, wouldn't it be SAFER to make the statement during the season, when Lynch has a tight schedule? If you're so afraid that he might show up at your door, then you probably shouldn't wait until the guy has a bunch of free time on his hands.4. YOUR HUSBAND IS A COP. You don't think he can protect you from a football player?Too many fishy elements of her story.

benefit of the doubt means I'm going to pay more attention to the other party's statement than his. In paying attention to the woman's statement, I have determined that it sounds suspicious.in a legal sense, benefit of the doubt also comes into play as a sort of tiebreaker, but that assumes that both sides' statements as put forward have equal merit. But this happens last after the statements are heard and evaluated.I feel that it's worth at least considering that this husband is a man with:1. the feelings of jealousy inadequacy of a man who finds out that his wife is out hanging out with NFL players instead of him (who, if visanthe shiancoe is any indication, probably also have larger dongs than him)2. the knowledge and understanding of the law, context, and legal loopholes that being a cop provides3. membership in a group (cops) that are far more likely than the average person to go on a power trip over meaningless things (my apologies to all the good cops out there trying to make the world a better place, who more than likely make up the majority of police...but it would be foolhardy not to acknowledge that there are a significant percentage of cops who join the force for the power/because they were bullied, likely by jocks, and to get back at them)Such a man certainly has the ability, the motive, and maybe even the predisposition to try to stick a case to somebody he perceives as either a threat, an annoyance, or both.A statement of "we're doing this because he robbed her. He's a predator" over $20 certainly supports this theory...throwing 'predator' around and asking for a grand jury over a case that would be a better fit in a small claims court is a cop trying to push some legal buttonsI'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'EDIT: no homo. Apologies in advance if I can't say 'dongs'

LOL. My line of thinking is mostly predicated on the flirting not being appreciated. If you want to turn this into a sexual harassment case, that might have more merit in my eyes than 'robbery,' which is a joke.

Speaking of fishy...

In response to the story, the Town of Hamburg Police sent out this statement:

"The facts reported in the January 9th edition of The Buffalo News regarding an incident between Marshawn Lynch and Mrs. Crawford are not consistent with those conveyed to our department by Mrs. Crawford. The Town of Hamburg Police has received no complaint from anyone directly involved."

"Respecting Mrs. Crawford's wishes, our agency will continue to decline further comment on the specifics of the situation."

still unreasonable of me to doubt the explanation given there?

 

[TobiasFunke]

It should be obvious that this story is false. Everyone knows that Lynch prefers Applebees.

"Oh yeah, dis spot hot!"

 

[fridayfrenzy]

Who ended up paying her tab?

Did Lynch or the other player just pay for her bill, or did she have to fork out another $20 to pay for her bill?
