Marshawn Lynch narrowly avoids shooting self in leg, does not avoid arrest.

Buffalo Bills RB Marshawn Lynch was arrested Wednesday on felony charges for possession of a concealed firearm. On the bright side, at least he didn’t shoot himself in the leg…but seriously, what is going on with athletes these days? Why must you carry around a concealed weapon? Have these athletes forgotten that there are bodyguards who can legally carry a gun available for hire?

My guess is these guys who carry weapons have been messing around with the wrong people. Lynch was the target of a drive-by shooting in 2006, and ESPN reports he was a victim of mistaken identity. MISTAKEN IDENTITY?!? HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN? He looks like The Predator! There can’t possibly be anyone out there as ugly as Marshawn Lynch. I have a hard time believing the drive-by was not intended for Marshawn…

Lynch has had a successful campaign since joining the league in ’07, and just played in his first Pro Bowl. If he is striving to keep his success going, he better get his act together, because pretty soon Marshawn and Maurice Clarett are going to be cellmates.
