Hate on Lynch for this...hate on Sherman for his responses. Doesn't matter, apparently people want these guys to be forced to do this but then just spout the same bs that I could write for them. It would be great if they all worked together and gave the exact same responses to every question in the same order, then you could bitch that it was coordinated bs rather than every man for thenmselves
he understood what percentage of his salary is from TV revenues compared to the percentage from selling tickets. Then again, there is no cure for stupid.
When TC gives a smart ass answer it is hilarious....
Yeah, because TC handles the media like Lynch does.
Lynch is an asshole, plain and simple. Without the media involved he would be playing for nothing. The media and fans pay his salary. He should have some damn respect for the people who put money in his pocket.

Wrong. I don't care what he does or doesn't do. And I'm not judging whether the league is right or wrong in requiring it. But the league/team is paying him big bucks and this is part of the requirements for employment. Instead of acting like a responsible adult, a man, hes acting like a petulant child. That's an opinion, not a condemnation, because it doesn't affect me one way or another. What I would like to condemn is this God awful use of the term "hate". It has totally no relevance here or in most of the places its used nowadays. If there is one inappropriately used word I would like to condemn, that's it. I guess you could say I HATE it.

It has nothing to do with being on TV and entirely on the media misinterpreting and misquoting Lynch early on in his career while in Buffalo.
His salary and what percentage comes from where is also irrelevant. The reporters aren't the one signing his check, that would be Paul Allen.
and full of shit hypocrites in so many ways...the league has so many issues and they want to harp on a guy not talking? its a joke, the league is focusing on the wrong issues, its like a political statement

Except that the one signing the checks is requiring him to respond to the media questions. And a person with any intelligence at all would understand the reasons why ... such as where the money is being generated.
They asked Chancellor why Lynch acted that way towards the media
And he basically said that Lynch got tired of them misquoting and misinterpreting what he said trying to make a story out of it, so he stop doing interviews all together.

He has been responding to the questions, just not how you or others would like.
t's the league that requires players to speak to the media, not the team.
and he should get fined for these juvenile answers.
Why do you care if he gets fined? Are you actually rooting for it?
Fans are so fickle on this player shit. Some are offended that Lynch doesnt really want to talk to the media. Others get pissed that guys like Sherman say what they're really thinking. It's no wonder that so many of these guys come off as automatons talking to the press, spouting content free platitudes. Would want to give someone bulletin board material; that could motivate the opposing team to try to win the Super Bowl!

Do I really have to explain this? First, the league consists of the teams, and the owners set the rules (good grief).
Second, once again, I don't give a rats ass how he responds, but its obvious he is not responding TO THE QUESTIONS, which I suspect is kinda what the owners had in mind when requiring the interviews. The bottom line is that even though it makes no difference at all to me, its obvious that he is acting in an immature way. That's his choice, and its exactly how a petulant child would act when required to do something they didn't want to do.

Deej, just to be clear, I DON'T care, and I suspect that most others here don't either. But we have a thread discussing opinions on what he is doing. My opinion is that its juvenile ... but I really don't care.
RE: Yeah... he should just give the same PC answers everyone else gives...
Boneman, you have to admit, though, that when grabbing his junk seems to be his special TD celebration, maybe it's hard to give a guy the benefit of the doubt.
Yes it is a league rule, and the league is made up of its member teams. That doesnt mean all the owners support the rule. Think of my law firm -- we have a rule that all employees including lawyers are expected to be in at a certain time. A number of the partners get in after that and think it is a stupid rule as applied to lawyers.
I seriously doubt that Paul Allen gives a shit about whether Lynch responds to these questions. Money talks, and I find it hard to believe that the amount the Seahawks were willing to offer Lynch was set with any thought to this issue.

Never accept the premise of the question.
Speaking of children, here's a recent interview with Lynch.
Boneman, you have to admit, though, that when grabbing his junk seems to be his special TD celebration, maybe it's hard to give a guy the benefit of the doubt.
Ultimately, as said above, he's a meathead.
Moon - I'm right there with ya regarding him grabbing his junk. He's shown that maturity isn't his strong suit with many of his actions throughout his career.... including this one.
That said, I really don't get the anger this brings out in people. The man doesn't like talking to the media because he feels he's been betrayed by them in the past. I can respect that. I also don't agree with his method of how he's handling interviews but at the same time I also can sympathize with WHY he's handling the interviews the way he is.
When Belichick doesn't feel like talking and gets into an interview and repeatedly answers every question 'We're moving on to *insert next opponent here*.' I don't recall seeing or hearing anyone refer to him as a jerk, immature or whatever. I've seen many athletes do the same thing that Belichick has done and yet when they do it it's 'immaturity' but when Belichick does it it's 'genius'.
oh, I agree it is juvenile. I just dont understand why a fan would want him to get fined over this. The penalties for non-compliance with rules that dont effect the game are just so far removed from what I care about.
But Im also a guy who isnt 100% comfortable with the league suspensions for guys like Rice and Peterson (and the boot Donald Sterling got). In the end I can support it because the NFL is an entertainment business, but Im not completely behind it. Sterling was an easier call to me.
WRONG
He's just bout that action, boss!
And what great message is that?
Quote:
such a boss...im not a fan of immature athletes, but at least this has a message
And what great message is that?
I believe that the gentleman is here. So that he will not be fined.

If you can't see a difference between what Lynch does and what Coughlin does, you're dumber than I thought. Frankly, that's quite a feat.
What a horribly wrong comment combined with a dose of stupidity.
Wrong. I don't care what he does or doesn't do. And I'm not judging whether the league is right or wrong in requiring it.

Random typical question ....
Response, "I'm here so I won't get fined"
Question, "So Beastmode, Why are we here? I mean why are any of us here on this planet we call earth?"
Response, "I'm here so I won't get fined"
Question, "Would you get fined if you weren't here?"
Response, "I'm here so I won't get fined"
Question (said really fast), "Dipstick says I'm here so I won't get fined"
Response, "Thanks for asking"
You know, have fun with it a little.
