Marshawn Lynch took the podium at Super Bowl Media Day on Tuesday, and he was completely honest with reporters right from the start.
The Seattle Seahawks running back started with a brief opening statement that explained that he had no intention of putting thought into any question. Lynch told reporters that he was going to answer every question with “I’m just here so I won’t get fined,” and he did just that.
Lynch stayed for just over four minutes — the required time — and uttered the same eight words over and over. He did deviate from his plan briefly to call a female reporter “sexy.”
At one point, Deion Sanders approached him and asked a couple of questions. If you remember, Sanders got Lynch to open up at Media Day last year and held a short interview with him during which Lynch coined one of his most famous phrases. Lynch indicated that he intended to speak with Sanders later.
As expected, it was more of the same media snubbing from one of the NFL’s most intriguing players.
