Class will tell


So, have the Buffalo Bills become the new Bengals?

On New Year’s Day, safety Ko Simpson was arrested and charged with disorderly outside (guess what?) a bar.

On Feb. 11, Pro Bowl running back Marshawn Lynch was charged with carrying a concealed, loaded and unregistered 9-mm handgun. This follows a summer incident in which he hit a pedestrian and fled the scene.

Then Saturday, safety Donte Whitner was arrested for his role in what Cleveland police called a “near riot” outside a blues club. Whitner, who was Tasered by police, was charged with aggravated disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

What makes the Bills the new Bengals is not just the arrests but the attitude, best exemplified by Simpson, who while police were arresting two of his friends, kept yelling, "I'm Ko Simpson with the Buffalo Bills. I am worth millions!''
