When did Marshawn get so shy?

[The King]

This is ridiculous. Don't act like you don't like the media.

Richard Sherman should take a lesson...

Lynch has never liked formal media interviews. Always very stand offish.

Richard Sherman should take a lesson...

Why?

[BertSquirtgum]

Why did Marshawn get traded for a scared little southern boy who is afraid to get hit? I miss beastmode. Worst decision than Pat Williams to trade him.

Why?

Because he should shut the **** up IMO...why do you think?

Yea that's not actually answering the question of "why"?

I don't think the same as you…that's why I'm asking you why.

[gr8slayer]

He never liked the media, that goes all the way back to Cal.

[kishoph]

Marshawn couldn't handle the fast paced Buffalo life style.

[Skooby]

Marshawn couldn't handle the fast paced Buffalo life style.

BYOB is standard in Seattle & frowned upon in WNY.

[stuckincincy]

Never talk to the press. Never.

[Ed]

When Lynch first got drafted he seemed perfectly fine and comfortable talking to the media. In his introductory press conference and interviews he seemed pretty well spoken and engaging.

It seems to me that everything changed after the hit and run incident. He refused to talk to the media for a while after that and when he finally did he looked uncomfortable and very guarded. I don't know if the scrutiny and criticism got to him and caused him to be more closed off, but that incident seemed to really change him, at least with the media.

He was asked about Buffalo, he said the feeling was mutual, he didn't want to be there and they didn't want him.

There was also an interview on SI i glanced at saying how he felt he let down buffalo because he couldnt take them to the playoffs.

seemed like a mutual move but he never seemed to have hatred like willis had

This was my thought more or less as well. But whereas I don't live in WNY I don't know as much on the subject.

So you're one of those people overreacting about Sherman because of one incident. Get over it.

It's not one incident. Here is another, and this was last year:

Is this **** allowable if you simply don't like Skip Bayless?\

There are plenty more instances. Arrogant trash talk...I don't like it.

[Beebe's Kid]

Boy...that's crazy isn't it? Look at how you talk about him, and wonder why he is shy to talk.

That and the media is always so kind, and they have definitely been to Lynch. Like when there was a million things about him being a ****ing thief in the media in Buffalo.

Richard Sherman. People don't like when black guys aren't scared. They don't like it at all. Sherman is an educated man. He has a degree from Stanford. He isn't afraid of talking to people. He also plays a game where he gets extremely fired up.

This is an interesting discussion...but there is not such thing as white privilege, right? I'm sure that is a ****ing hot one around here. What's next? Do I insinuate that all Muslims aren't bad people?

Don't make this out to be a racial issue when it isn't, Johnny Cochran's kid.

Sportscaster from Buffalo's Ch2 (I forget his name) and radio crew that used to cover the Bills and had a lot of access to the players said this morning that when Lynch first came to Buffalo he was very willing to talk to the media and they had a good relationship. Things began to go downhill with the off-field incidents, and just progressively got worse.

Paul Peck has said a few things on Twitter about how difficult Marshawn was to deal with while in Buffalo.

Was he specific about that being the case right from the start?

I seriously don't remember much about Lynch's dealings with the media when he was here.

[DraftBoy]

He was not.
