As far as answers go, good luck finding one better than what Marshawn Lynch said Thursday.
The Oakland Raiders running back is back in the NFL after a one-year retirement, and he has been one of the main discussion points after Week 1 of the preseason because of his decision to sit during “The Star-Spangled Banner.” So, it made sense that reporters tried to ask him about it Thursday.
But Lynch took a different approach when asked about the “elephant in the room” in this NSFW (explicit language) video.

And those weren’t his only noteworthy answers.
