Marshawn Lynch Finally Talks About The Superbowl
While the Superbowl feels like ancient history, Seattle Seahawks half back Marshawn Lynch finally spoke to the media about the heart wrenching Superbowl loss. The most interesting man in the NFL kept it simple. Below is the direct quote and translation to I’m here so i wont get fined.
“To be honest with you, I would be lying if I didn’t tell you that I was expecting the ball. Yes, I was expecting the ball. But in life, these things happen. Like I told a reporter after the game, it’s a team sport.
“I had no problem with the decision of the playcalling. I mean, you know … I think it was more of a … how do I say this? When you look at me, and you let me run that ball in … I am the face of the nation. You know, MVP of the Super Bowl … that’s pretty much the face of the nation at that point of time. I don’t know what went into that call. I mean, maybe it was a good thing that I didn’t get the ball. I mean, you know, it cost us the Super Bowl. I mean, I have full … I have full confidence in my teammates to execute that plan because we’ve done it so many more times. But would I love to had the ball in? Yes, I would have.
“But the game is over, and I am in Turkey.”
Well that was easy enough right Marshawn? Let’s just thank the football universe that Lynch didn’t steal the infamous quote of Cowboys legend Dwayne Thomas. On the night before the Super Bowl, Thomas was asked about the severity of the event, to which he then exclaimed:
“If it’s the ultimate game, how come they’re playing it again next year?”
If there is one thing for sure this will not be the last we here about Marshawn Lynch this offseason. Beat mode has been contemplating retirement, while Seattle is prepared to offer him an extension of upwards of 10 million per season.
