Video: Seahawks stay mum on Lockette with TMZ paparazzi

Apr 16, 2014, 12:28 PM | Updated: 2:05 pm

What do you get when you send a clearly ignorant cameraman to try and get comments from the Seahawks about the supposed “suspicious incident” involving wide receiver Ricardo Lockette, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and a young woman? A healthy dose of glares from the likes of Doug Baldwin and others.

The TMZ cameraman tried to intercept Russell Wilson and other members of the team working out together this week at a gym in Southern California. First he catches tight end Anthony McCoy taking a water break and asks him about new rules that would make racial slurs a penalty. McCoy clearly doesn’t want to talk but does give the guy a short answer. But when the cameraman tries to ask about Lockette, McCoy makes a hasty return to the gym.

It’s apparent the guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about when he calls Kaepernick “Cumpernick.” It gets even more absurd when he tries to talk to more players as they leave the gym and get into a van. The look of disdain on Baldwin’s face is priceless as the guy stumbles and bumbles through a question about the Seahawks supporting Lockette, and the cameraman again refers to “Cumpernick.”

“I don’t know nothing about that, bro. I’m just here training,” Baldwin tells the guy.

It’s pretty clear TMZ has a thing for the Seahawks, following the team around like paparazzi.

“TMZ again?” Baldwin asks the guy incredulously when he identifies his affiliation.
