Dissent in the ranks
My buddy Sean, a fellow RIT alum and lifelong Bills fan, sent me an email taking me to task for daring to be disgusted with Marshawn Lynch. Since I'm kind of a jerk, I'll post it here, and then eviscerate it publicly.

Lynch has agreed to plead guilty and is likely getting off the hook with nothing more than a violation in the same league as a speeding ticket. Amazing. As a Bills fan, now that my fear of losing our best player has subsided, I'm left with some disgust for a rich NFL star who would hit a woman with his car, leave her lying on the road, and hide from the consequences for over a week. I hope she sues him for everything he owns, and wins.

I'm intrigued by something I just read in this post on Rotowire's fantasy football blog. Blogger Peter Schoenke believes there's pretty solid consensus for the top five picks in '08 ("Tomlinson, A. Peterson, Westbrook, Addai, S. Jackson") and weighs who he'd take with the 6th spot (I'd go with Lynch, but that might be the Bills bias talking).
For all of you that made your league's championship game this weekend, tonight begins your last match of the season, so good luck! Hopefully we can answer some last minute questions to get you that trophy.
