Marshawn Lynch Went To Media Day At The Super Bowl.
Marshwan Lynch Will Never Be Confused With Ernie Banks.
He was there so he didn't get fined. He spent about 4 1/2 playing and replaying the phrase I'm just here so I won't get fined. Good for him and I guess the reporters that covered his required time at the microphone got the message.
The Seattle Seahawk running back has been in league since 2007 and is making his second appearance in the Super Bowl with the Seahawks. It's been reported that the NFL would have fined him $500,000 if he did not show up for the media in the run up to the Super Bowl.
It some ways this appearance is just as weird as any number of interviews that happen these days at mega events. Football players sign contracts with teams that play in leagues that require players to not only play football but to do other things that promote the sport they play.
Lynch's response to the media's questions were childish.
Could you just imagine the interview with Ernie Banks if he had made it to the World Series. Pollyanna might seem cynical in comparison.
His coach says the Seahawks have three rules: protect the team, don't bitch, complain or whine, and be early. By most accounts Lynch is a model team mate.
MMQB has an article about Lynch that tries to explain his behavior. It explains a lot about the NFL, its players, and Lynch is a member of both groups.
