Marshawn Lynch might want to keep his dukes down if he wants to avoid getting in the NFL's bad books.
Marshawn Lynch met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell as the league reviews whether the Bills running back should be disciplined after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Tuesday that the meeting took place earlier in the day. Aiello provided no details of the meeting or timetable for when Goodell will make a ruling.
Lynch, a former star running back at Cal, faces league fines and suspension without pay for violating the NFL's player personal conduct policy after his arrest in Culver City, Calif., last month. Police discovered a 9 mm semiautomatic handgun in the trunk of a parked car he was sitting in.
He was sentenced to 80 hours community service and three years probation.
