Marshawn Lynch recounts ‘The pick’
Earlier this year, Beast Mode recounted the vile interception in Super Bowl XLVIII on the goal line. Lynch was being interviewed by Kevin Hart on ‘Cold As Balls’.
“The play called or whatever, you know, the pick. ‘Damn.’ I come off the sideline. In my mind, I’m confused. I’m walking by Pete (Carroll), I’m just laughing at him like (laughs), bruh what the… OK.
“I’m walking through, and I see Lenny Kravitz. And I’m like, ‘Oh, s—! Man, what’s happening?’ And he’s like, Oh, it’s like that.’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, bruh, it’s a pleasure to meet you! Yeah. It’s like that.”
After the Super Bowl, Lynch had a party with his family and friends that included 76 12-bottle Hennessy cases. He said that they went through 15 cases that night and enjoyed the night without thinking about the interception that had happened a few hours before.
The Malcolm Butler interception was named the greatest play in Super Bowl history. During an appearance on The Leisure Time Podcast with Ivan McLennan.
“Once Jermaine Kearse made that catch, I was like, oh, we are about to score. Before the play happened, I screamed out, why are we in [the] shotgun. We were in the shotgun on like the two-yard line. I was confused on why we were in shotgun, and then the play happened. The play happened so fast, and it was so unreal, and how he made that play. I was just stunned. That he could even get that pick by literally running through another man and catch the ball,” said K.J. Wright.
“First of all, it was a horrible play call. Second of all, for him to make that play unreal. That’s probably the only time that play has been made in an NFL game of that caliber. It’s the greatest play in Super Bowl History.”
Wright last week signed a one-day contract with the Seahawks and retired.
