Super Bowl 2015

I have never heard Lynch speak at a podium. I sometimes wonder if he has a fear or some personality flaw that makes it difficult or embarrassing for him to address the media. This could be his way of resisting or trying to get out of it. Has anyone heard him actually do an interview?

He's done a few over the years and seems like a low key down to earth dude but definitely doesn't like being told what to do. He is a bit on the ghetto side and I don't mean any disrespect by that.

It's been reported that he has a social anxiety disorder.

He should rock the Ricky Williams helmet on interview style.

Jim, I get what you're saying. However, I also see his angle. He's pissed at the NFL. They say they'll fine him for his crotch grab, yet they sell a video in which he grabs his crotch. The NFL's hypocrisy is maddening.

Life is full of hypocrisy. Notice the hat he was wearing? It was his own design, he will be fined but will also sell a ton of hats.

Should the NFl's rule be changed? Sure. Until then, live up to your contract.

From what I understand he did an interview in college and didn't like the media response to it. That was the beginning of the downward spiral.

Does his contract say how he has to answer questions?

Don't know but I bet the "spirit" of his contract does.

 

[Fairwaysplitter3320]

Nope, just that he does interviews. He can answer however he wants. Hence what he said on media day.

"Spirit" always cracks me up.

And I'm fine with it. Like the time Bob Night recited a fishing trip during a mandatory press conference he once had.

Doesn't bug me either.

I have no problem with them forcing him to abide by the contract he signed. That's how it should go...he chose to sign the contract.

I also don't have a problem with the way he does interviews.

Me too

As a general rule I find interviews with coaches and athletes pointless. I can think of only a few that were interesting.

Allen Iverson: "we're talking about practice"

Jim Mora: "playoffs! You kidding me!"

Herm Edwards: "you play to win the game!"

These are memorable and funny, didn't change my life though.
