Seattle Seahawks' Marshawn Lynch Shows Up For Media Day, Kinda

Published January 28, 2015 at 7:13 AM EST

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. The Seattle Seahawks' Marshawn Lynch hates talking to the press. He's been fined thousands for skipping media sessions, though he did show up to the Super Bowl's media day yesterday.

MARSHAWN LYNCH: Hey, I'm just here so I don't get fined. I'm just here so I won't get fined. Just so I won't get fined, boss.

MONTAGNE: Lynch had more to say in a web video for Skittles.

UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: Would you want to hang out with a talking rainbow?

LYNCH: I wouldn't want to hang out with nobody who talks at all.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
