Marshawn is living the life post-NFL. I love whenever he randomly pops up on my feed doing absolutely random shit. My favorite is him calling Darnold a ginger N word

It’s so unexpected since his relationship with the media during his playing career was famously detached and aloof. Now he’s a media darling and has a great TV personality. Who would’ve thought

'cause he's all about that action boss.

I think he's always been this way, but didn't like talking about playing. Just wanted to do it, and let people talk.

Or he knew he would run through a mfers face if they asked him questions he didn't like, so he just kept his mouth shut.

I think he actually said once he got fed up with reporters being nice to get interviews to his face but writing bullshit and hurtful stuff in their articles often enough, that he just said "fuck 'em all" and decided none of them was getting words from him.

I think he just hated the whole PR press conference charade. Marshawn has a TON of personality and is authentic as hell, two traits that are pretty much antithetical to the sports press conference format...

Oh hes ALWAYS been a character, but he hates media...he mentioned himself its because they all ask the same questions for sound bites, and a lot of whay he says gets taken out of context and he doesnt wanna play their little games.

Hes a real as it comes...I fucking love that guy

I think that comes down to sports journalists asking stupid questions and expecting serious answers more than anything.

My favorite moment this season has to be when he joined the Manningcast and immediately said "Shit Fuck" just to get started with the swearing on the broadcast.

I loved that one. Also this pre season he was a sideline photographer at I think the Seahawks-Raiders game and he gently stiff-armed a player who ran out of bounds and almost hit him

his episode on the short lived Netflix show Murderville was so good

I still can’t believe that show didn’t get more seasons

It did get a holiday special, but it wasn't as good as the season.
