Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch does not want to be fined again for not speaking to the media. Believe it or not, that’s probably bad news for reporters.
If Lynch simply avoided the media like he did after last weekend’s game, reporters wouldn’t have to waste their time with his one-word answers.
After the Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, Lynch d-bagged his way through most of his postgame interview with the words “yeah” and “maybe.” Here are some snippets:
Reporter: Marshawn, talk about the Cardinals defense.
Lynch: Yeah.
Reporter: What did you think of Russell’s (Wilson) day today?
Lynch: Yeah.
Reporter: Serious question, is it going to be tough to rebound for Thursday? Everybody’s kind of sore, banged up, end of the season.
Lynch: Maybe.
There have been reports about Lynch being unhappy with the Seahawks, but he has never liked speaking to the media. Remember his painfully awkward interview with Deion Sanders at the Super Bowl last year? Reporters are probably better off ignoring him.
