Minnesota Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer Pulls a Marshawn Lynch With the Press

During the Super Bowl Media Days Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch made national news when he answered every question with "I'm just here so I won't get fined." Little did he know at the time that his press conference would inspire many other athletes and public figures to stiff-arm the press with the same line.

It's been a few weeks since someone channeled their best Beast Mode interview skills, but at a coaches breakfast it happened again.

It was Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer who didn't want to get fined.

Of any coaches it is easy to see why he might not want to talk to the press, He has to be tired of being asked about the status of Adrian Peterson, what the team is doing to get him back in the fold, whether they are going to trade him or not, or anything else Adrian Peterson related.

Well done coach. Well done indeed.
