Marshawn’s Media Day Struggles

Super Bowl XLIX is just around the corner and the hype has been as high as it ever has. The New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks both finished 14-4 leading to the biggest game in all of sports. The well known athletes all receive the most attention from the media along with publicity from all of the fans. Everyone’s favorite athlete to interview is Seahawks running back, Marshawn Lynch. Lynch is known to be a very quiet person off the field and give little to none attention to the press. He is a man of little words and has been fined in the past very heavily by not responding or not showing up to the media. As of late every reporter, radio station, sports anchor is trying to be that one special person to get this man to speak up. He’s becoming more and more famous on social media with his one or couple word phrases that seem to have everyone scratching their head. Reporters will ask him questions back and forth about his thoughts from previous games, current situations around the NFL and even his warm up music. All of his answers will be the same throughout the press conference. For example, he spent 15 minutes answering questions with, “I’m blessed.” His next press conference he responded with, “Yeah.” With his most recent showing his answers were, “You know why I’m here.”  His continued phrases are what is making news a lot funnier than they should be but with all jokes aside, Marshawn is ready to just play football.
