It seems like fans had fun with yet another classic Marshawn Lynch moment.
Same old Lynch
This is not the first time that Marshawn Lynch has done what he did. Back in 2017, when Lynch, nicknamed ‘Beast Mode’, was with the Oakland (now Las Vegas) Raiders, he once crashed a live TV segment and cursed twice. Not only that, but he also ended up hitting on the TV reporter.

Going even further back in 2015, Lynch attended the Golden State Warriors’ NBA victory parade and again stole all the thunder. He dropped a curse word on live TV. Lynch really lives on his own terms.
Lynch joined the NFL when the Buffalo Bills drafted him in 2007. After playing three seasons for the Bills, he joined the Seahawks in 2010. Lynch went on to lift the Vince Lombardi trophy in 2013 when the Seahawks won the Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos. He was the NFL’s rushing touchdown leader that season.
The RB is a five-time Pro Bowler, once with the Bills in 2008 and four times with the Seahawks from 2011 to 2014. He ended his career in 2019, playing for the Raiders. All through his career, Lynch carried an unfiltered persona. And frankly, it doesn’t seem like he is going to change.
