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

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
