The media can’t get Marshawn Lynch to talk. Maybe they should ask him about Skittles.
The Seattle Seahawks running back fielded a rainbow of questions in a (faked) press conference for Skittles, the candy he has become famous for eating during football games. And the resulting video is oh-so sweet.
Skittles released the video on the eve of Super Bowl Media Day on Tuesday in Phoenix, where hundreds of reporters will shadow Lynch to see if he says … well, anything at all. Lynch has recently drawn the ire of the NFL — and praise of Seahawks fans — for his single-answer postgame interviews, even spawning a mash-up music video two weeks ago.
