From The Associated Press:
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Bills running back Marshawn Lynch has filed an appeal with the NFL contesting his suspension without pay for the first three games of the season.
The NFL confirmed Thursday that an appeal was filed but did not provide details, including when the appeal might be heard. Lynch's agent, Doug Hendrickson, was not immediately available.
Lynch was suspended last month for violating the league's personal conduct policy after he pleaded guilty in March to a misdemeanor gun charge in Los Angeles.
Lynch apologized for his actions and anticipated he would be suspended after meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
It was Lynch's second run-in with the law following a hit-and-run accident in Buffalo last May.
I think the appeal runs like this: Yes I broke the law and yes I hit a woman in a crosswalk at 3 in the morning in the bar district and left her bleeding because, well, you know, but our first game is with a division rival, so cut my suspension to the Houston game at home and the bye week, Uncle Sugar. Oh, and pull some strings to reduce OJ's sentence to time served out of respect for the great Buffalo Bill.
