No Fun League vs Marshawn Lynch

It'll be hilarious in 10 years when Lynch is bankrupt and we look back at how much money he cost himself in fines

 

The media stuff is dumb to me because the media folks get soooooo butthurt over it and us fans couldn't care less. I remember the 610 folks crying and crying about Foster not giving them answers to their dumbass questions. Bunch of losers. Go eat some pancakes and get over it.

 

Top comment says it all....

 

^^

please, Donny.

The guy has no problem gesturing at his penis in front of millions of people yet he can't answer a few questions from the media? Seems legit

 

Being able to stand up in front of a ton of people and play a guitar, sing, dance, play a sport, or victoriously grab your junk doesn't have much to do with social anxiety. Social anxiety is a pretty common trait in performers, actually.

 

The only problem I have with it is arbitrarily increasing fines. Speaking to the media may be part of your job, but there should be a set table of fines, how much more it's going to cost you each time when you don't. I don't like the "much more than $50,000 next time..." threats to force him into doing the "thanks for asking" session, the bare minimum he apparently has to do without getting fined.

 

Now. . . if Lynch comes out and says
"Well .. . you know the Patriots are cheaters and the NFL has covered it up because. . well. . Vegas . . . so I told my friends that we will probably be cheated out of the Superbowl."

how many bricks will be ***** and how big will the fine be

I don't even understand why speaking to the media should even be part of a NFL player's job. The NFL no longer needs the media to promote their sport and a majority of these dudes give cliche statements anyway. If those players never said a word we would still watch football games and still set our fantasy lineups.

Ironically the NFL doesn't make the commissioner, GM's, and owners speak to the media when information from them is more important than from the players.

I wonder how much they're going to fine Brady for cheating compared to how much they fined Lynch for not speaking.

 

Lynch is annoying. I actually think he being a media w**** by not speaking to the press. Everyone is talking about this guy not talking.

When you get chosen to play for an NFL team. You become a member of that team, and become part of the NFL. I understand, talking to the press is just marketing, and some players don't like it. But, talking to the media is part of the job. What players say before and after games generates intererest in the game and gets fans talking. Lynch needs to grow up and do his part in supporting the league for which he plays. It's in all the players best interest to help promote the league that enables them to become millionaires.

 

I hate the NFL. They've ruined themselves for me through over-regulation of the game.

 

By not being cooperative with the media... Lynch has become one of the most talked about by the media.

How slick is that... Lol...

 

I'm just here so I won't get fined. :grin:

I appreciate what Marshawn Lynch (and to a certain extent, Bill Belichick) did today at Media Day, if only because it moves us closer to my dream of Media Day going away completely.

I can't remember the last time something interesting was said at this "event." It's all trite cliches, manufactured "controversy," and the newest addition to the circus, the media members that are there only to cause a stir i.e. the guy that dresses up like a superhero.

 

I couldn't give 2 ****s about the normal cliche'd responses given by athletes during interviews.

Beastmode not allowing the media or NFL to get their way is a million times more entertaining.

 

Definitetly

 

It drives pregame shows, web traffic and buzz. Watching games isn't even close to their only revenue stream.
