A fine? Marshawn Lynch should get a bonus

It was Media Day at the Super Bowl and the biggest story to come out of it was about the guy who refused to say anything except, “I’m here so I won’t get fined.”
Seahawk Marshawn Lynch – breaking records on the field, sounding like one off the field.

But he got more coverage saying nothing than all the other players who said something.
You know why? Because the other players don’t say anything either. The amount of useful information is somewhere between a White House briefing and a call to the cable company.
At this point in the football season, there is nothing these players can say that hasn’t been said 100 times.
Listen to Russell Wilson: “It’s just going 1-0, and trying to find a way to be in the moment.”
What he’s saying is you have to win each game – because if you don’t, you’ll lose.
Not only that, Wilson said, “The field is still 100 yards.”
Even though it’s the Super Bowl, the field is the same size.
The point is, we know all this. The one new thing Russell Wilson did say, “I wish everybody would stop fining my man Marshawn.”
The one new thing he said was about the man who doesn’t say anything.
He’s right by the way. Why would you fine Marshawn Lynch when for the last few days all I’m hearing on Sports Radio is Tom Brady saying stuff like, “I don’t want anyone touching the balls after that, I don’t want anyone rubbing them.”
Stop! It’s like being trapped in a Seth Rogen movie.
There’s the guy who should pay a fine. Marshawn should get a bonus.
