The reason for the rule is that the NFL is a big marketing organization and they know it's the fans who drive the money machine. As such, the players have a responsibility not only in personal conduct held to a stricter standard to maintain a league image, but to grant access to the fans through the press.

The requirement is overly burdensome...a few minutes a week...and any player who doesn't feel that WE are deserving of access to him doesn't deserve to make the money our tickets and patronage of the sponsors provides.

By all other accounts, Lynch isn't a bad guy...he was even the only Seahawk to admit to a reporter that the fail mary was one they got away with...but he's been told in no uncertain terms what he owes back to the fans and he flaunts it and so the monstrous fines are well deserved. Especially galling that he was out there promoting his own product on company time, showing he's ok with allowing access if it's to his own fiduciary benefit. Maybe he needs a few games off to reflect.

My guess is that he still would be the same.......not really talking, except to sell his merchandise.

As said by Seth, the fact he paid $100,000 to not speak to media says more about the media than does him. That's a great point that some of you pitch fork wielding jokers fail to appreciate.

Yeah....I admit it's hard for me to understand. Getting paid more money then I could ever even DREAM of, being asked to talk to the media as part of my "duties", and not doing it. Being fined more money then I could dream of even HAVING.

Yeah......it's pretty hard for me.

Did you see where he's thinking of retiring? For a guy that supposedly doesn't want attention from the media, he sure has strange ways of showing it. I mean, why even throw something like that out there? If it's so, why not just wait until you actually have made a decision? Does he NOT think this will make the media guys come after him for more info? I mean, come on.
Actions mean more then words.
