Marshawn mulling skipping Media Day entirely

[kidhawk]

Well apparently Lynch has been seen at media day, so he's not skipping. Another overhyped story dramatized by the NFLN to get hits. Whoulda thunk it?

I happened to be around a Bills fan a lot in the first couple years after Marshawn was drafted and (IMO) he got pretty rough treatment from the Buffalo media...the hit and run and the next offseason's gun arrest in L.A. brought out the "He's a thug" contingent pretty heavily. Seemed to me Buffalo was like a small town that couldn't quite get their heads around Marshawn...I wouldn't be surprised if that had a lot to do with his disdain for talking to reporters.

6 1/2 minutes from Beast Mode. Now Goddell can suck it, he got his way.

It's ridiculous that they are required to talk, or at least CERTAIN PLAYERS.

 

[Cyrus12]

sounds like he could still be fined...who cares? More for the media to talk about...

 

[Hasselbeck]

His interview with Deion is priceless. :lol:

His interview with Deion is priceless. :lol:

And it goes to show that he is still there and he's "available". NFL shouldn't fine him as long as he's there and being available should be technically enough to slide by.

Agreed. Love how all the players are siding with him too saying if he doesn't want to talk he shouldn't have to talk.

 

[Evil_Shenanigans]

Prime tracked him down. Short sweet and to the point "We got some Dogs"!

Instant T-shirt!

 

[Kixkahn]

Skipping media day would cost him $100K.

This amount bugs me. This not talking to the media fine makes it look like talking to the media or not is way worse than intentionally trying to injure a player. You see these guys get fined but no where near that amount.

And demanding that someone put themselves in that kind of spotlight when they have that issue is ridiculous.

Nothing ridiculous at all to demand a guy to follow through with a function of his job that he signed a contract to do. A contract for huge money at that. The only ridiculous thing is him thinking he doesn't need to follow through with a commitment he made.

Nobody else in the world gets away with just doing the parts of their jobs they want to do, and refusing to do the other parts :roll:

If he doesn't like what the job involves he is more than free to quit and do something different.

Your still an idiot.

 

[White Devil]

Just loved that interview that Primetime just had with Marshawn. That IS exactly who he is. He's not a man of words, he's a man of action.

That little snippet interview has just fired me up. This game is gonna be a war. The whole damn team has a boulder sized chip on their shoulder. It could get very nasty.

 

[Hasselbeck]

"Are you excited for the Super Bowl?"

"HELL YEA!"

 

[Sarlacc83]

Marshawn should just plug Skittles by giving that as every answer during any interview. He could be like Peyton, only less annoying.

 

[kidhawk]

NFL network said that they called the NFL offices and that Lynch was required to participate in media day and he did, therefor there would be no fine (rightfully so)

That's a well thought out response! You seem to have a lot of anger. I guess I would to if I was poverty level. I am taking the high road. I actually just said a prayer for you. I prayed that there would be no tornados in the dust bowl Sunday. Would hate to have your trailer blow away during the Superbowl.

Congratulations...you made his point for him better than anyone else could have.

Is this the same cboom clown that is quoted in someone's sig talking silly about Russell?

 

[cboom]

@ badgerboy: I'm the idiot that thinks people should actually honor a contract they sign. Many of us in this country have to do that everyday. Its sad to see so many on here think it should be ok not to be true to their word. I'm betting most of them are in a job they don't like, or collecting government checks of the hard working tax payers backs.

It's not to late for any of you to step up and change your lots in life!

 

[CurryStopstheRuns]

Yes. Yes it is.

Yes it is. That quote was from the beginning of last season. I have said I was wrong on that. And what they don't tell you is I said I hoped I was wrong at the time. And I'm not the only one that was wrong there. I'm sure there are about 20ish teams that would love to have him now, and passed on him for 2 or 3 rounds....
