"League not sure what to do about Marshawn Lynch"

More: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/11/30/league-not-sure-what-to-do-about-marshawn-lynch/

After Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch consistently and persistently avoided talking to reporters, the league eventually took action, reinstating a $50,000 fine from last year and imposing a new $50,000.

Now, Lynch is making himself available to the media. But he’s not saying much in response to the questions.

Last Sunday, he repeatedly answered reporter questions with “yeah” after a 19-3 win over the Cardinals. On Thursday night, after a 19-3 win over the 49ers, Lynch swapped “yeah” with “nope“.

While technically complying by making himself available to reporters when he had previously been bailing out of the locker room before talking, Lynch isn’t complying with the spirit of the rule.

2. 49ers John Taylor never spoke to the media ... they respected that, and the NFL left him alone

This is a bullshit "rule" by the NFL.

. . .what's he's doing is perfect. If he is a consistently rotten interview, they will stop wanting to ask him questions. Then, he's not in trouble for avoiding the media. They'll be avoiding him.
