Larry Foote Says Marshawn Lynch Is A Bad Influence Marshawn Lynch has been both praised and put down for his signature interview-dodging tactics . But one fellow NFL baller has a different take on the effect Beast Mode’s refusal to play by the rules has on young Black people who look up to him. Via ESPN Arizona Cardinals linebacker Larry Foote strongly criticized Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch on Monday, saying Lynch is sending the wrong message to children. “He always mentions his foundation and what he likes to do for the city of Oakland,” Foote said in an interview with 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh. “I’m from the same type of urban environment that he’s from. “The biggest message he’s giving these kids, he might not want to admit it, is ‘The hell with authority. I don’t care, fine me. I’m gonna grab my crotch. I’m gonna do it my way.’” Foote’s point is kids will believe they can act the same as Lynch does. “In the real world, it doesn’t work that way,” Foote said. “It just doesn’t. How can you keep a job? I mean, you got these inner-city kids. They don’t listen to teachers. They don’t listen to police officers, principals. And these guys can’t even keep a job because they say ‘F’ authority.” Hmmm, do you think he’s right BOSSIP fam? Is Lynch just asserting is right to be left the hell alone when he wants…or is he being a “bad influence” on urban kids?

Miss the end of Super Bowl XLIX? Obviously not, but if you had, these two GIFs tell you everything you need to know about the shocking conclusion: The championship was in hand for the Seattle Seahawks. Or so it appeared. Trailing 28-24, but with the football on the one yard line and the final seconds ticking down, all they had to do was hand the ball off to Marshawn Lynch. But they didn’t do that. Instead, the unthinkable (play call) happened. Quarterback Russell Wilson threw a pass over the middle, resulting in a stunning Malcolm Butler interception that clinched it for the New England Patriots. Neither Seahawks all-pro defensive back Richard Sherman or Patriots signal-caller Tom Brady were on the field at the time their fates were sealed. Despite that fact, or perhaps because of it, their priceless reactions to the pivotal play were worth a thousand words. Maybe even a million. One could practically feel Sherman’s agony as Seattle’s second straight title slipped through his grasp, a defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. Out of all the sad faces in the world, no sad face has ever been sadder than Sherman’s at that moment. Win or lose, he wears his heart on his sleeve. Last year’s Richard Sherman rant ? This was almost as epic. And Brady? What needs to be said about his equally awesome, but opposite reaction? The 37-year-old future Hall of Famer looked 37 going on 7, reminding us that football is only a game, and those who play it are all young at heart. Here’s one more look at the stunning play that capped off one of the wildest Super Bowls in recent memory, and prompted the all-time GIFs above: Malcolm Butler Interception Wins Super Bowl XLIX How do you not give the ball to Marshawn Lynch ? Pete Carroll and legions of bandwagon Seattle Seahawks fans across the nation will rue the day. No one involved will ever forget the day, however.
During her Super Bowl Halftime press conference, Katy Perry referenced Marshawn Lynch by repeating his now-famous line, ‘I’m here so I don’t get fined.’
Benedict Cumberbatch is both very sorry and very embarrassed. Last week, the Oscar-nominated star was discussing the state of African-American actors in Great Britain with Tavis Smiley when he remarked: “As far as colored actors go, it gets really difficult in the U.K..” referring to the success of those such as Chiwetel Ejiofor and David Oyelowo in 12 Years a Slave and Selma, respectively. While Cumberbatch may have had his heart in the right place, he was subsequently criticized for using such an outdated term, prompting an apology from the man behind Sherlock. “I’m devastated to have caused offense by using this outmoded terminology,” he said. “I make no excuse for my being an idiot and know the damage is done. I can only hope this incident will highlight the need for correct usage of terminology that is accurate and inoffensive.” The Imitation Game star concluded: “The most shaming aspect of this for me is that I was talking about racial inequality in the performing arts in the U.K. and the need for rapid improvements in our industry when I used the term.” What do you think, fans? Should all be forgiven now? Debut Roles of 2015 Oscar Nominees 1. Benedict Cumberbatch It’s raining in London in this photograph. But beloved star Benedict Cumberbatch has found a way to keep dry.
