Just shut your stupid mouth Richard and play football. This guy runs his mouth more than the micro machines pitch man. Waaah Lynch is a victim waaaaah. You are telling me that the guy isn't an asshat, he simply has social anxiety? get the hell out of here.

I tend to agree to an extent. Getting threatened with 500k fine when the NFL doesn't even know who is handling their balls is bullying at the very least.

Sherman is arrogant, so his points usually have a irritating effect, but for the most part he is right when he talks and I do believe Lynch has been a victim for not wanting to play the stupid media hype game which Sherman ironically on the opposite end enjoys a lot :)

Social anxiety or not, Lynch is acting like a douche bag. Just answer a couple questions. The fans pay your salary and want to hear what u have to say about football. Be a big boy and play along.

pretty much. You get paid millions per year because of the fans and the fans like to hear interview comments. Show up, answer a few questions. If a question really gives you anxiety, ask for the next question. its very simple.

My employer asks me to do stuff all the time so I go do it because I am happy to be in the position I am in. Its not like they are asking something huge of the players.

its not social anxiety, your just being an asshat. He sure interviewed fine on entertainment television with the cute girl.

Sherman went to Stanford because he can run fast.

That's all I got.

I hate that Lynch is a Seahawk, because I love that dude (no homo). He knows the right type of buttons to hit that set people off lol.

The thing is, it's not new. Lynch barely dealt with the media when he was at Cal too. When he does talk to the media all they do is write about his bad grammar or not so subtly suggest he's not very smart and how did he ever go to college.

He absolutely doesn't like talking in front of big groups of people.

I've never quite grasped the whole thing, what exactly is he supposed to say that's so important, it's football. Guys that want to be interviewed get interviewed, guys that don't shouldn't have to.

If he's making obscene gestures or cursing his butt off by all means complain, if he just doesn't want to be interviewed what is the big deal? How can it possibly be worth a 500K fine?

Exactly. He is no victim. He is paid to play football and do interviews. Its fine he doesn't have to answer every question, but to sit there and not say a thing is stupid.

He did fine in his "paid" interview with Skittles. He had no issues answering those stupid questions.

I dont mind Lynches interviews but the callout about how he is a victim is a joke.

I'd consider him a victim of the NFL's at times hypocritical policies.

Do I feel sorry for him? Not really.

I just saw his "you know why I'm here" press conference....I couldn't help but laugh. At least he's consistent.

Whether it is intentional or not, he certainly gets more attention for his non-interviews than if he was just low key and boring.

Sherman has a point.

Why doesn't Goodell have to give an interview every week as well?

Exactly. He could answer the questions with some bland, one word answers and get very little attention. That's obviously not what he wants.

What he wants is to not have to do the interview at all.

Yeah, I just don't get why this is such a problem. If he doesn't want to talk in that format, big frigging' deal. The NFL has much bigger problems than players not wanting to give interviews.

If he's truly suffering from SAD or something like that I have to believe all he'd have to do is provide medical evidence of it. There is no way the NFL would want to be the bad guy in that situation.

It's not in Goodells contract. Being available to the media is in player and coach contracts.

If the stupid media would just avoid Lynch completely then he would probably miss the attention and start talking. Seriously if no one from the media would even approach him and absolutely no one would ask him even one single question then he would lose the attention he gets by acting the way he does. The media should ignore him. The problem is every one of those dumb media people think their the one that is going to get Lynch to talk to them. Then it will be their exclusive.

At media day not one single media type should have even gone over to Lynch's position. They should have left him sitting there by himself while every other player got asked questions. Are people that dumb that they can't figure out lynch is playing them and probably calling them stupid behind their back?
