My respect for marshawn lynch grows more.

Except for the fact it's part of the job...

I don't feel sorry for him, but I also think the media types complaining about

Mikey

Who's complaining? I see more articles trying to explain him

gustav88

1/29/15 2:19pm

Several have gone on rants. The most recent I heard was Gottlieb

Mikey

1/29/15 2:21pm

Guess I don't follow the NFL closely enough

gustav88

1/29/15 2:25pm

if the NFL were paying him, then yes. Paul Allen isn't the nfl

RedlandsCoug

1/29/15 2:19pm

yes he is, the NFL commissioner works for Paul Allen and the other owners

I wonder if Paul Allen thinks that it's worth the

RedlandsCoug

When Paul Allen removes it from his contract them you will know

mosterlow

1/29/15 2:33pm

Wasn't the point. He's an entertainment figure who is going to get grilled by

Cougnine33-31

1/29/15 2:23pm

Is the entertainment on the field or behind a table?

RedlandsCoug

1/29/15 2:36pm

The same thing happens in other entertainment venues

I thought BYU was the Titanic?

Its in his contrac, so respec that. Players get what, 55% of media revenues?

Grit for Brains

1/29/15 2:16pm

True. But it shouldn't be. He's fulfilling his contract

RedlandsCoug

1/29/15 2:20pm

It shouldn't be? Then maybe the players should give 5 or 10% of the media money

Grit for Brains

1/29/15 2:23pm

"Player will cooperate with the news media, and will participate upon request in

Skipshot

1/29/15 2:34pm

I never denied that

RedlandsCoug

1/29/15 2:36pm

So you agree that he is breaking the terms of his contract

Skipshot

1/29/15 2:37pm

I question if the NFL is acting ethically in forcing it.

RedlandsCoug

1/29/15 2:44pm

Contract is pretty clear as is historical enforcement.

Skipshot

1/29/15 2:51pm

What choice does the NFL have? If they don't enforce it they are in breach

Grit for Brains

1/29/15 3:03pm

Exactly. People need to remember Marshawn has earned millions of dollars

Conan O'Fresno

1/29/15 2:27pm

It's not the media requiring him to be there it's the NFL

SBJ

1/29/15 2:18pm

My guess is if it weren't forced he'd be more willing to do one every now and

RedlandsCoug

1/29/15 2:21pm

He gets a free education and millions of dollars to play a game

gustav88

1/29/15 2:18pm

Because he's good at it. The field is important.

RedlandsCoug

1/29/15 2:23pm

We do apply the same standards. It's called fulfilling your contract. He's paid

Skipshot

1/29/15 2:19pm

Riggt by the NFL who isn't paying him.

RedlandsCoug

1/29/15 2:22pm

He is paid by the Seahawks for abiding by the terms of his contract.

Skipshot

1/29/15 2:29pm

Typo....The Seahawks are paying marshawn to win.

RedlandsCoug

1/29/15 2:35pm

RE: Typo....The Seahawks are paying marshawn to win.

Skipshot

1/29/15 2:36pm

do you understand the difference between can and should.

RedlandsCoug

1/29/15 2:43pm

Glad you're backing down a little by implementing the semantics game

Skipshot

1/29/15 2:50pm

The contract doesn't say he has to substantively answer every question.

RedlandsCoug

1/29/15 2:56pm

No, but it does say "cooperate." If my kids "cooperated" with me like that

Skipshot

1/29/15 2:58pm

Fair

RedlandsCoug

1/29/15 3:04pm

No they aren't paying him to win. He gets his regardless of whether or not they

Do you love that Coach K is about the only coach in NCAA that sends assistants

Iman23

1/29/15 2:21pm

I think you respect him because you're cheering for the Seahawks...

Avery

1/29/15 2:22pm

are you claiming it's less the interview itself...

RedlandsCoug

1/29/15 2:29pm

I think it has BECOME less about the interview.

Avery

1/29/15 2:41pm

I don't think its arrogance with him. I think it's a case of

Thunder Buddy

that is probably a better way to put it.

Avery

1/29/15 2:42pm

Hawks fans eat it up. Ironic since it is slap to the face of fans since

QBarrister

1/29/15 2:31pm

I feel exactly the opposite. I used to like him, but his act is tired.

fredgarvin

1/29/15 2:32pm

His interviews can be funny, but he needs to grow up and act like a professional

Thunder Buddy

1/29/15 2:34pm

I can't believe people are actually standing up for Lynch in his ivory tower.
