Buffalo News: Bills running back Marshawn Lynch has been suspended
three games, without pay, by the NFL for violating the league's
personal conduct policy. Lynch was arrested in February in
California on weapons charges and last month pleaded guilty to a
misdemeanor count of carrying a gun in his vehicle. Two other
charges were dropped and Lynch was sentenced to three years'
probation along with 80 hours of community service. Unless Lynch
appeals, he will miss the first three games of the 2009 regular
season. He can participate in training camp and Buffalo's
preseason games before the suspension goes into effect. The
charges were in connection to a February 11 incident when Lynch
was discovered with a loaded firearm while sitting with two other
men inside a parked car in Culver City, California.
