I've been ravaged by poor choices, injuries and idiots. Oh, and the Bye has screwed me pretty good too. I thought this was supposed to be fun. Right now I feel like I'm in therapy with my ex-wife.

I just saw a blurb about Marshawn Lynch and the press. Apparently he was fined $100,000 for not talking to the press after a game, so the next game, he just gave one word answers. Mostly "yeah." Seems like a pretty bizarre thing to fine for. And a lot to have to pay.
To put it into perspective, here's a list of fines handed out this season. Fighting $8k Roughing the passer $16k physical contact with officials $27k But you don't promote the NFL's business by talking to some reporters in the locker room, and they fine your ass $100,000. Amazing. Last edited by glatt; 11-24-2014 at 11:29 AM. |

Surely it wasn't a one-time thing. I bet he'd been warned, he'd ignored the instructions, they said you do it or we'll fine you, he said "Fuck you, I'm rich biatch!" So they had to make an example.
"Had to" is obviously a bit strong, I don't thing anyone listens to those stupid interviews anyway, but then again if your boss tells you to do something are you just going to ignore him? Non-athletes can't get away with that crap. He only got me 11 points last week, I'm not impressed. |

wasn't that last year during the superbowl press day? I remember that he got a 50K fine for not showing up on the first day, but showed up to avoid the $100k on day 2. Deon Sanders interviewed him like he was talking to a mental patient that had just come outside for the first time in 5 years.

In the clip I saw, they only had his answers, "yes" "yes" "yes" "no" "No Juice" "yes", etc etc. It was really funny. Now that I've heard the questions too, it's less funny, but more realistic. The man just doesn't want to talk to the media. And he can afford to pay the price for that decision, apparently. Whatever. Can the NFL fine him for not making sense? Will the non-sequitur answers eventually drive away the reporters who're not getting their questions satisfied? Who knows. More power to him. He does let his play speak for itself. And as a team, Richard Sherman talks plenty. I think we're delivering a sufficiency of words.

That is therapeutic I'm sure! Good game - the Toads collapsed at the end when their TE left without a catch with a head injury! |

He's paying attention. Says if he wins, he will be number one over all ranked

Same here!! Only 90 points behind. Ruff Riders just barely eked out that win.
