I love seeing Marshawn Lynch rustling the media's jimmies right now

Agreed.

It's hilarious that the silent treatment works on grown men. Lynch is acting this way (at least in part) for the attention. The media is giving him and his sponsor exactly what they want

These media chodes are pathetic. They sound like band members at sporting events who say..."without the band, it would just be another game". This whole thing has caused me to like Lynch a lot more.

The media, along with lawyers, have become somewhat of a scourge on this country. fricking clowns.

I may be alone here but I side with the media. Not the point of them whining incessantly about it, but I see them as having a legit complaint.

Here's my analogy to explain why: let's suppose you're an engineer for a defense contractor, and you're one of the most brilliant engineers in the company. In addition to your brilliant engineering, part of your job is to regularly interface with the customer to tell them high-level details about the project design so they can make plans, documents, etc, but this customer is so big that you can't possibly interface with them directly, so they hired a sub for you to interface with and the sub in turn processes your info into a format the customer can use.

Well, Lynch is basically the brilliant engineer telling the sub (media) to go frick themselves, he was hired to do engineering work, not talk with a lowly subcontractor about his work.

Now I'm an engineer, and I can tell you right now that doing that shite will get me a permanent fine - AKA pink slip - I don't care how brilliant of an engineer I am, so Lynch should consider his arse lucky that he can get away with that shite with nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

Now it may be the case that the customer (viewers) don't give a shite about getting the engineer's info (player interviews) anymore, but that isn't for the engineer (player) to decide.

Journalists have the worst kind of God complex because they think their opinion actually matters

guy is making millions to play football.. just say some cliche shite and grow up.
If he doesnt want to talk to the media, dont play football
He signed the conctract

I think a lot of people are missing the point that he is going along with contract and making himself available. To the minimal degree, sure, but Lynch isn't breaking his contract. Therefore, I think it's hilarious that people get so worked up over this. Regardless of the contract, I would still think it's hilarious.

I think his antics are just making him look like a big cry baby. He looks like a total fool, in my opinion. If he would just answer a few of their questions they would probably move on to the next guy after a couple minutes. He's actually drawing more attention to himself, which is apparently something he doesn't want in the first place.
