Buffalo Bills star running back Marshawn Lynch is in for another long off-season -- dude's being sued by the woman he ran over during an alleged drunken hit-and-run incident back in 2008.
In the lawsuit, filed in Erie County Court, the 27-year-old victim, Kimberley Shpeley, claims Lynch was drunk when he got behind the wheel of his Porsche Cayenne in Buffalo at 3:30 AM on May 31, 2008 and struck her as she was attempting to cross the street.
Lynch was investigated for the incident, and ultimately reached a deal with prosecutors that kept him out of jail -- though he did plead guilty to something called "failure to exercise due care toward a pedestrian" and had to pay a $100 fine.
Now, the victim is demanding an unspecified amount of cash for the "severe personal injuries" she claims she suffered.

(Page 1 of 1)Yet another reason I'm glad I traded him before the season started.
My word! Basketball players bringing "guns to work," football players killing each other or worse...where do they get recruited, PRISON?!!? What lowlifes!!! What in the world!?!!
Beast Mode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll take a prison back when he gets that dose of goodness.
Marshawn Inch is more like it. His time in buffalo is up, he was promising but he cant leave that life of being a thug behind him. He got popped for having a gun not to long ago as well.

Is it just me or do these people go out of their way to look grotesque? Ugh!
Why is it that athletes make more money than the average Joe and yet, when they commit a crime, just get a slap on the wrist and just pay a fine???
M. Lynch should've be kicked off the team right away for his illegal actions. I am ashamed to say that I use to live in buffalo. Heck, the whole judicial system is corrupt. Money talks and people get paid off.
Hmmm, 1.5 years later those injuries might be a bit impersonal.
