Marshawn the Martian? Think again...

February 1, 2015

One of the biggest stories all Super Bowl week long has been about a guy who won’t talk to the media. He’s been portrayed as rude, off-putting, and surly.  Uh uhhh.

Watch this video, dubbed the “Yeah” video, after his team the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Arizona Cardinals on November 23, 2014. Running back Marshawn Lynch is surrounded by media who lob questions at him one after the other. His  responses are hilarious…”Yeah”, “Maybe|” and “I don’t know” while he appears to be texting.

At the 1:00 mark he says he’s speaking in Oakland he has “a foundation meeting at the Edgewater on December 14, to help benefit the inner city youth  to try and build a youth center, so yeah…” No one asks him a follow up question.

At the 1:35 mark, the guy actually smiles and his eyes light up. He’s having a good time parrying the media, a few of them chuckle along with him. The same thing happens on this video where a team mate adds to the fun.

So, yeah…
