Seattle Seahawk Star Marshawn Lynch continues his brief media interviews


In case you’ve had your head buried in the sand for the past 24 hours, yesterday Marshawn Lynch gave a hilarious and ridiculous press conference at Super Bowl Media Day.

Lynch came out and warned the media that he was going to give a repeated answer for each question, so they shouldn’t waste their time.

The media didn’t seem to mind because they asked him question after question to which he replied with, “I’m just here so I won’t get fined”. A blunt and honest answer, repeated about 50 times throughout the mandatory four and a half minute interview.

Lynch was famously fined $100,000 by the NFL for refusing to talk to the media earlier this year.

The interview went viral — much to the amusement of most people who watched it.

The running back was again forced to talk to the media, and he gave yet another less than in-depth response to each question.

“You know why I’m here,” was repeated over and over … and over again.

It’s hilarious to me that a man who hates talking to the media and gives awful interviews, is viewed more than any of his team mates.

One reporter asked if he still prefers cat videos to dog videos, referring of course to the hilarious Skittles interview Lynch gave recently.

Lynch responded with, “You know why I’m here”.
