Super Bowl XLIX: Bill Belichick and Marshawn Lynch Have a Pregame Conversation
— -- Long before Patriots head coach Bill Belichick "told you everything I know," then "told you everything I know, then "told them everything I know" about Deflate-gate, there was Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch -- the original NFL chatterbox.
Lynch has been regaling sports reporters for years with eloquent answers to poignant post-game questions like "Thank you for asking" and his newest catch phrase, "I'm here so I won't get fined."
Lynch was asked 29 questions on Super Bowl media day earlier this week and had the same answer for each reporter, "I'm here so I won't get fined," according to ESPN.
The next day he switch up his lyrical game and came back with "You know why I'm here." Lynch has been fined before for refusing to chat with the media about tough topics like "Beast Mode" and "How he felt when he scored that game-winning touchdown."
Belichick studied and picked up Lynch's tactic -- an art form really -- earlier in the month during a press conference following New England's win over the Colts in the AFC Championship game. Reports surfaced after the game that his team's balls were deflated below the usual limit.
His response to reporters on more than one occasion was "I told you everything I know," which wasn't much at all.
With that in mind, here's a hypothetical pre-Super Bowl conversation between the two talkers. You know they have a lot to say about the big game Sunday as their teams face off for eternal glory and riches in Super Bowl XLIX.
This is gonna be good!
