Perhaps the funniest observation from Marshawn Lynch’s iconic five-minute interview from Super Bowl XLIX media day 11 years ago was seeing the reporters ask one another what the Seahawks’ running back said as if he didn’t repeat himself countless times.
That was easy for me to say because I was watching NFL Network from home, where I could hear Lynch say, loud and clear, that he was only there so he wouldn’t get fined. I’ve been to a handful of these events—which have since been moved into prime time and rebranded as Super Bowl opening night—and it can be very challenging to hear if you’re not standing in the front row.
