The Truth About Why Marshawn Lynch Doesn 8217 t Like Speaking To The Media The Source
I’ve never seen anybody win the game in the media. But at the same time, I understand what it could do for you, if you wanted to be someone who talks a lot. But that’s not me. And I’m not as comfortable, especially at the position I play, making it about me. As a running back, it takes five offensive linemen, a tight end, a fullback and possibly two wide receivers, in order to make my job successful. But when I do interviews, most of the time it’ll come back to me. There are only so many times I can say, ‘I owe it to my offensive linemen,’ or, ‘The credit should go to my teammates,’ before it becomes run down. his goes back even to Pop Warner. You’d have a good game and they’d want you to give a couple of quotes for the newspaper, and I would let my other teammates be the ones to talk. That’s how it was in high school, too. At Cal, I’d have my cousin, Robert Jordan, and Justin Forsett do it. Football’s just always been hella fun to me, not expressing myself in the media. I don’t do it to get attention; I just do it ’cause I love that (expletive).
Love this dude. Love how real he is. Love how he won't dance like a monkey on command for the NFL or the media. Love that he's drawn a line in the sand and refuses to do anything but play the game on the field. Love that he doesn't feel obligated to play the media/PR game:
Love him or hate him, Beast Mode is a force to be reckoned with.
