Date Set For Marshawn Lynch DUI Trial In Las Vegas
Former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch, known for his powerful presence on the field, is now gearing up for a legal battle off the field. Lynch, who is facing DUI charges in Las Vegas, is set to go to trial in November.
Lynch entered a plea of not guilty in March, contesting misdemeanor charges of DUI, driving outside of travel lanes, and operating an unregistered vehicle, as documented in court records. In a recent court hearing, which Lynch did not attend, his legal team indicated that they anticipate the trial will span two days.
The Date Has Been Set For Marshawn Lynch Trial
Municipal Judge Cedric Kerns has marked the trial to commence on November 8.
The incident leading to the charges occurred in August 2022. That’s when police found Lynch asleep at the wheel of his vehicle. Police say they detected the smell of alcohol. The vehicle was discovered in a position suggesting it had been driven onto a sidewalk, with noticeable damage to its tire rims. However, according to a News 3 article, the keys were on Lynch himself and not the ignition.
Lynch’s defense team has consistently maintained that the available evidence fails to conclusively establish that Lynch was driving under the influence at the time of his arrest.
As recounted in an arrest report, Lynch appeared to be dozing off during interactions with officers at a traffic stop near Fairfield and Utah avenues. Body camera footage captured him barely responsive to police inquiries. Lynch reportedly exhibited uncooperative behavior, refusing field sobriety tests, which officers were unable to administer.
Subsequently, officers obtained a search warrant to extract Lynch’s blood for testing purposes, according to details outlined in the arrest report.

For some fans, the belief in “jersey power” is real, relying on their chosen jersey to bring their team to victory. A Reddit user revealed, “I change jerseys every game. Never wear the same one twice in a row.” They mentioned that during one season, the Jaguars secured a 3-1 record when following this practice, but experienced a 0-12 record when they didn’t.
Fiery Ritual

Some fans unquestionably take their rituals to the extreme. During Vince Young’s playing days, a Redditor mentioned that they used to perform a rather unconventional practice of burning a photo of the player. They would attach a picture of his face to a Barbie doll and place it on the grill as part of their ritual.

This particular approach might come across as a bit harsh, yet it seems to show results for this person. Apparently, ignoring their wife and kid during the game is their strategy. “I know it’s weird and the results haven’t been great, but I’m not going to risk it,” they wrote. Priorities, dude!
Quantum Football Mechanics
Some say that dissecting your superstitions like a science can work wonders. A Reddit user shared their approach, saying that if, for some reason, they tune into the game late and the Ravens are in the lead, they turn the game off. “Watching will only swing the game in the opposite direction. It’s like the Heisenberg Principle of quantum football mechanics. Intense observation will only change the outcome,” they humorously explained. That’s dedication!
