Marshawn Lynch’s NFL career, which in all likelihood ended with the Seahawks’ loss to the Packers last night, will be remembered for two things: his punishing running style and his humorous interactions with the media. It’s no secret that Lynch isn’t particularly fond of taking questions from the press, even though he’s been slightly more talkative in recent years than he was during 2015’s “I’m just here so I won’t get fined” Super Bowl Media Day appearance.
Lynch’s postgame press conference after Seattle was eliminated lasted a grand total of 90 seconds. He answered four questions in 11 words, and then he spoke for more than a minute, uninterrupted, about what younger players should do to make sure their futures are secure after football.
