Absolutely ridiculous. You can't convince me the Seahawks PR department isn't behind this whole thing, and has already paid his fine. He came here midseason. The next season, they tried to interview him during a pre-season game, and it was an absolute cringe-causing trainwreck. A couple of months later, Mitch tried to interview him on KJR, and it was the most odd, headscratching, "what in the world did I just listen to?" interview in the history of interviews. He wasn't able to answer basic "how are you doing?" types of questions. Marshawn basically just spewed jibberish. After the interview, Mitch had to say "I don't think Marshawn and I were quite on the same page there, but there he is ladies and gentlement." You came away thinking "the Seahawks need to pull the plug on this ASAP and make sure he doesn't do any more interviews. And he hasn't.
Anytime you hear a teammate or anyone who knows him talk about him, the phrase you hear over and over is "Marshawn is just a different kind of cat." Please don't take this as Marshawn bashing in any type of way. I love the guy, love his attitude, and feel gratitude for what he has done for this franchise. That said, there are some folks that shouldn't do interviews. From a Seahawks standpoint, it is just better to let him be and pick up any tab.
