Marshawn Lynch Just Won't Answer Reporters' Questions, And They're Not Happy About It

NFL Star Never Fails To Make It Awkward With Reporters
|

Marshawn Lynch's thorny relationship with the press took another uncomfortable turn Sunday.

Now keep in mind that the Seattle Seahawks player has already been fined $100,00 for not speaking to the media earlier this season. He followed that with an interview in which he mostly answered "yeah " to multiple queries.

On Sunday Lynch expanded his verbiage but not by much. Asked in a variety of ways to address an impressive 79-yard touchdown run in the Seahawks' 35-6 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, Lynch answered mostly, "Thanks for asking."

When a reporter asked about his stomach, Lynch got positively loquacious. "I appreciate you asking about my stomach. Thank you."

According to Deadspin, reporters were not amused . And one, New York Post football writer Bart Hubbuch, got personal.

Marshawn Lynch might be a great football player, but he's also a disrespectful, unprofessional dick.
