Five minutes. 29 questions. The same answer throughout.

Five minutes. 29 questions. The same answer throughout.

The only thing that Seattle Seahawks running back guards more closely than his words is his wallet, which is why he sat down in front of the press ahead of Superbowl XLIX against the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Lynch is one of America’s least media friendly sports stars and has got in trouble before for being a bit stubborn with the media, so the 28-year-old decided to fulfil obligations by replying “I’m only here so I won’t get fined” to every question he was asked.

All 29 of them.

He makes Paul Lambert seem like Willy Wonka.
