Journalists, even our own Rob, are extremely threatened by guys like Marshawn. Beat reporters exist on quotes and rumors. People who don't talk contribute to neither. They would rather have 45 minutes of cliche crap than nothing. Lets be totally honest, sports reporters exist on the same level as entertainment reporters and a small step above papparazzi. Journalistic integrity in the sports world died a long time ago.
However, after the rancor from the media after last weeks Sherman debacle, no way was Lynch going to be open. And when that female reporter opened yesterday by shoving a mike in his face and yelling in his face that he has to answer their questions now, he has no choice, you could see him get immediately pissed. I would too. Marshawn is nobodies organ grinder monkey. When the other reporter makes a big deal of announcing immediately that it took less than 6 minutes to shut Marshawn up, he is full of satisfaction, you can see it in his weasley face.
Let's add a little more to that. When an ex jock like Sanders who never studied journalism rides his slick tongue and locker room cred among players to get access a degreed journalist never could, it pisses them off. They are all screaming questions like little baby birds hoping momma bird shoves a little bit of worm down THEIR throats by answering THEIR question from the din of reporters, and Prime walks where he wants, to who he wants, asks what he wants like some father figure, and the players give him instant attention. You could see it on their faces, they hate it. 2 hours of jockeying for position, yelling questions, hoping like hell they are the guy or gal who gets the Jeremy Stevens quote that drives convo for days, and Sanders destroys them with a minute 40 of really inane questions that Lynch answers straight Oakland.
And so, CBS, ESPN, FOX, and Yahoo Sports all run negative stories about Lynch because of professional jealousy between brands and the threat he poses to their parasitic job status. While an untrained ex jock wins the day by asking one real question about the Broncos thinking they can win if they stop Lynch.
