Do you know how tv rights work? ESPN, Fox, CBS, NBC etc. are all considered "media." They pay the NFL a lot of money not only to broadcast the games, but also for players and coaches to be available to their reporters.

Lynch bucking the media may seem cool to some, but all he's doing is failing to uphold his end of the bargain that the NFL and the media have agreed upon. It's childish.

Incorrect.

He is there. He is speaking. They can't tell him what to say.

His statements are no less insightful than the other vapid soundbites players are giving.

And ironically, the story of him bucking the media is creating more interest than there might otherwise be for his sessions.

Thereforenl, he's actually going above and beyond when it comes to his bargain
