Marshawn Lynch keeps quiet ahead of Super Bowl

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has refused to speak in depth about his team's chances ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos.

Lynch appeared briefly at a press conference on Tuesday but spoke very little despite having been fined $50,000 (£30,448) for snubbing the media earlier this season.

NFL rules state that players must make themselves available to the media, but Lynch's few words were about doing his talking on the pitch instead.

"No need to talk about it. Was raised like that. Game time, though, I'll be there," Lynch told NFL Network.

Lynch later won an appeal against his fine, although a condition of the appeal stated that he would be fined the $50,000 plus another undisclosed fee should he refuse to talk to the media again.
