Related: About this forum"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 hes 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 isnt complying with the spirit of the rule.

This is a bullshit "rule" by the NFL.

That's about the only way squidward, Hairball and the whiners will get a win against them.

. . .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.
