Lynch, running back for the Seattle Seahawks, is not here for media shenanigans. Lynch does not like giving interviews, and so far he’s been fined $100,000 for not obliging the NFL’s media requirements. Nowadays, Lynch handles interviews in his own special way, especially since rumors had it that he would be fined $500,000 if he missed another one.

On Tuesday, during Super Bowl Media Day, he made sure reporters understood why he was there.

But Lynch doesn’t deny requests to all reporters. In a hilarious Q&A session for Skittles (yes, the candy), Lynch showed that he has quite the personality.
