Gee Scott is growing up in the broadcast world. His professionalism has grown, and his points and opinions now seem legitimate and thought out, instead of designed to create a splash. I for one, am glad to see it as he adds something to what's available in the Seahawk's World. A more, down-to-earth, "players are just regular people" kind of vibe, and I really enjoy it.
I'm really happy to see him approach this from a fan's viewpoint, instead of playing it safe.
I'll toot my own horn a little bit and at the bottom, paste in here what I posted in another thread as to my opinion of what the end game is. However, after hearing Michael Robinson's comments, I'm not so sure.
insider Gee Scott has one lingering question: What is Lynch’s endgame?
Scott and fellow 710 ESPN Seattle host John Clayton examined Lynch’s potential motivation on Monday, days after Scott confirmed reports that Lynch visited Seahawks headquarters and told members of the team’s front office that he wants to return to the NFL, right around the same time a report came out that his hometown Oakland Raiders were interested in acquiring his rights from Seattle. And while Clayton dissected the issue from a more practical standpoint, Scott said he couldn’t help but view the situation as a fan – and as a slap in the face.

With rumors rampant of Marshawn Lynch wanting to return to the NFL, Seahawks insider Gee Scott has one lingering question: What is Lynch’s endgame?

“I’m a Seahawks fan, I’m a Marshawn Lynch fan. This is not how this story was supposed to end,” Scott said. “It wasn’t supposed to be a deal where Marshawn un-retires, comes back and says, ‘Hey, I want to go and play for another team.’”
“It still comes down to bottom line,” Clayton said. “How much is Marshawn going to ask the Raiders? This is more on the Raiders than it is anything else because I can’t envision him playing for cheap. Why would he do it?”

He's been on several TV shows, Diesel Brothers, Bear Grylls, the fish tank one to name 3. So if he wants to keep his Brand alive, and he just happens to be in Seattle supporting a charity event, all he needs to do is drop a few hints here and there, maybe call Gee Scott, then stop by the VMAC and say hello, and BOOM!! MARSHAWN LYNCH! BEAST MODE!
All over the internet. Smart. :bow:"
