Marshawn Lynch fulfills media duty by saying 'yeah' 12 times

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch didn't want to get fined again for not speaking to the media. We can't blame him — $50K a pop is a pretty stiff fine, which he now has two to pay off.
So Lynch talked. His version of talking, anyway.
Yeah. Yeah. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Boosie. Yeah. Twelve "yeahs" in all.
Look, to be fair, we mused on Twitter last week after Lynch failed to speak following the Seahawks' loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11 that maybe he should just give basic answers to fulfill his requirements.
That said, this is a bit ridiculous, too. It's immature. There's no value — we're now writing about Lynch and what he didn't say, as opposed to the fact that the Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals and now stand two games back in the NFC West. He's a grown man, and he can take two minutes to answer a few questions about football. It's not that hard.
Is it the end of the world? No, but how do the Seahawks view this? It's likely just another reason for them to roll their eyes and perhaps not bring him back, even though he still clearly can run the football effectively. The Seahawks brass was tired of Percy Harvin being a story for non-football reasons, and it certainly could reach the same conclusion with Lynch.
If they have not already.
