Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch had his own podium at Super Bowl Media Day. He was his normal loquacious self. “I’m here so I won’t get fined.” He threw in an occasional “just” or “boss” for variety. He left after a few minutes. One suspects he may get fined.
Lynch’s performance was an undoubted disappointment. We were expecting him to deliver a 15-minute Churchillian oration on the importance of the athlete-media relationship.
