Marshawn Lynch’s injured groin tells us yet again that the Oakland Raiders now exist largely to torture every plan Mark Davis ever had for looking good for the homies before abandoning them.
Oh, there are other reasons why Lynch’s injury, which will cost him at least a month and perhaps the remainder of this obliterated season, is bad, starting with the effect it will have on Lynch. His rep as the Raiders’ indomitable man has been part of his defining greatness, so to lose time on the back of his career is unpleasant at best.
His time in the NFL is believed to be short anyway, given the fact that he came back from his retirement to play before the home town, so this sucks first and foremost for him.
