After that play and many others, Eagles defenders said, Lynch got up giggling.
“He just runs like he’s mad every play,” says Eagles safety Nate Allen, “but when he gets up, he’s laughing and joking about stuff with his guys, our guys.
“Not like taunting. Like he’s out there having the time of his life.”
Awesome article and awesome story! ^LawlessHawk":3m330ixj said:That was really good.
I've mentioned it before in other threads about my cousin, a little Midwestern white girl, that teaches "special needs" kids at Lynch's high school in Oakland. Says he always stops by the school and her classroom whenever he's in town, gives her a big hug and takes the time to speak to the kids in the class... she says he's one of the nicest, most genuine people she's ever met in her life.

During games he would feign exhaustion and take himself out so Forsett, his backup, could get snaps.
“He did that almost every game at Cal, and even when we both played in Seattle,” Forsett says. “I’m sure the coaches weren’t too pleased. But it wasn’t that blatant. They would think, OK, he needs a rest, but he never did.
“If it wasn’t for him taking himself out of games and allowing me to go in and play, I probably wouldn’t have gotten the opportunity.”
Is he doing the same now for Turbin at times?
It is supposed to come on NFL network any minute now. I getting very annoyed at the "Jonny Football" overkill right now. Just get to it damnit!!!!ManBunts":18vllubi said:Excellent article.
