Marshawn is the one Seahawk EVERYONE in the Bay loves. @!#@ that soft "he doesn't speak to the media 
" crap, he did for years starting from his Cal days until he came to the Seahawks and got labeled as a thug anyway.

I meant answer normally. You gotta fight fire with fire though. One of the most annoying things ever was when Stone Cold started saying "What?" all the time. I'd ask him a question, then after he gives his response I'd just say "What?" for the next 5-10 minutes.

bill belicheck did the same thing with "we're on to Cincinnati".
He fulfilled his contractual obligations.
If you dont like his answers, fine...
But he did what he was asked.

Him and bellichek both act like kids. Is a 5 minute question session really that terrible? 5 minutes out of the whole day.

He's just causing extra attention to himself that he claims he doesn't want.

Either way the media will make him out to be a thug.

It's not about attention it's about the media twisting his words when he was playing in Buffalo so he doesn't trust them anymore.

yeah, but the media comes running up to him hoping he gives them that same repeat answer. Marshawn just being marshawn goofing off and not giving a damn what you think. They made him center of attention and he's just trolling. I enjoyed the reporters trying to break him and him not even flinching.
And he does talk with the media, but he's very selective. Whenever he does, its always been real.
exactly. before it went downhill in buffalo, a classic

All of this. Dude gets props from me, idc. Dude is keeping it real and isn't putting on a front for the public. He's here to play football. Not be a celebrity. The work he puts in on the field should speak louder than any damb interview.

I love this dude for being himself.
Some people think paying a salary equals ownership. Nah. Nobody tells white people how to act when they get money.
The haters need to find another **** to ride. They are FOREVER trying to tell a brother to behave.

Does anything of substance come from these sessions anyway? It's all just cliched bull ****.
"They're a great team."
"Nobody believed we could do it but us."
"We just have to worry about taking care of our business."
etc. etc.

Not really. I watched rob gronkowski act goofy for 20 minutes yesterday during lunch( it was on the TV).
1 reporter asked him about an erotic novel that was written about him and another asked him a question about football fans in China and had him say Ni Hao.

w/o the media NFL players would be playing for $8 an hour? you honestly believe that crap?
and without athletes what would the sports media be doing? hm, I wonder.....oh I know, real journalism maybe? maybe on the front lines of some war torn country like a Vice journalist? Maybe coming home in a body bag?
that aside, this discussion is getting old, I've discussed this to ad nauseam elsewhere but I'll add my .02 here...
Marshawn Lynch clearly doesn't want to talk to the media, for a good reason too. The media has long twisted athlete's words, mincing their statements so they can twist a story out of them.
That act is what's getting old, and Lynch really isn't the only guy in the NFL to feel this way. Arian Foster has long avoided the media for the same reason.
The media knows that certain guys do not want to engage the media because they've been misquoted for the sake of a story but they insist on harassing these guys all that much more.
The thing is, there's no shortage of guys in the league who absolutely live for the camera, they want every chance they can get to speak out, so it's not like if this policy of mandatory media time was done away with that there would be some sort of shortage of camera friendly personalities.
On the Seahawks alone you've got two absolute dynamite media friendly guys who'll gladly field questions at a moments notice, RIchard Sherman & Russell Wilson.
In Sherman you've got a brash, intelligent, highly polarizing personality who isn't afraid to speak his mind. In Wilson you've got a consummate professional who is always cordial with the media.
And you've also got Michael Bennett, Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas, & many others who have gladly taken the opportunities given to speak to the media.
So the policy in place that forces guys to cater to the media is just redundant, there's plenty of guys across the league, on all teams that will gladly speak to the media, and some that absolutely CRAVE the attention.
So why not let those apprehensive of the media just be?
What do they want from Lynch anyways? The same rehearsed bit every disinterested player feeds the media? I mean c'mon. You want an introspective look into his life or something?
I mean does his play not say it all? Guy has broken more tackles than anyone else in the league the past 4 seasons, he's had more yards running up the middle than just about any RB in the league during that span as well. The man isn't a vocal leader, he leads by example.
So what else is there for him to say? We know where he's from, we can tell nothing was ever handed to the man, we know that he puts every ounce of heart he has into every single snap of football he's ever played.
And as a fan of the game that's all I ever need to know about the guy.

Those few lines Gronk read from that novel were weird. I gotta google and see how the writer for that novel looks.
