Bah, I was in court all afternoon. I’m brutally weary now. All I can say is that I still believe in Marshawn. Even the best amongst us make mistakes. Hopefully, he can make restitution and move forward. Of course, there will be a civil action, so this drag on probably.

As for cultural references, all I’ve got is a Karate Kid reference. I really need to stop letting Bill Simmons write my material

for a traffic infraction?

I don’t doubt that the NFLPA would be against suspending Marshawn for such a minor crime. Nor am I trying to say definitely that Goodall will suspend him. Merely that Goodall’s #1 objective seems to be fighting the perception that NFL players are criminals. Most people probably heard about this case and said “Oh that Marshawn is such a thug.” and left it at that. Most people don’t dig deeper to get all the facts. That’s what Goodall’s concern is. So, we’ll see.
