“I’m here so I won’t be fined” was his answer to every question Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch told reporters at media on Tuesday, Lynch was fined $100,000 last year during Super Bowl media day for not appearing and not doing interviews. Marshawn is Marshawn it’s really hard to tell if he’s doing this because he doesn’t like the media.

The other reasons that Lynch is treating the media this way it might some condition and makes him kind of shy in public speaking or some clinical diagnosis is the best way to put it. There might be some reason that he hates the media, when Lynch played for the Buffalo Bills five years ago one of the reasons he left was he felt like the team was not using him properly.

He didn’t just leave he forced the trade and he felt like the team wasn’t treating him properly he also didn’t feel like the local media was treating him properly. It’s still a mystery why he would still be upset at the media because the Seattle media hasn’t been bad to him. If anything they’ve embraced Lynch, they’ve embraced the Skittle, the Beast Mode, he’s certainly a cult hero in the Northwest.

So it’s not known why Lynch would have any predisposition disliking the Seattle media that being said this is the first time he’s been kind of short with the media and it won’t be the last. Will the NFL fine him? Who knows he’s saying something to the media in a way to get around the fine that he got last season for not showing up to media day.

The league might see through this type of interview and say “hey you just can’t say that and expect to get away with that at least be slightly cooperative and say something not necessarily meaningful but at least say something that at least answers the question. We’ll see what happens on that. Lynch he’s a character this is his way of dealing with the media.

Assuming it’s not clinical, hopefully Lynch will come around and speak his mind at some point with someone he likes than the crazy people at media day. Let’s be fair media day is kind of a circus act, your at the Super Bowl and your at media day there will be 20 percent real football reporters and 80 percent complete clowns. People who are from local media are there more for the spectacle of it than the actual football angle of it.
