SEATTLE, Wash. -- "I'm just here so I won't get fined" was the single most repeated quote from all of Super Bowl XLIX week. It was Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch's way of telling the NFL he didn't want to talk to the media. He gave that same answer to nearly every question during Media Day.
Now, Lynch will be making money off it.
Lynch has filed with the U.S. Patents Office to trademark the phrase,
It will appear on clothing as part of Lynch's "Beast Mode" brand.
"We heard from our fans and so many of them were saying that they wanted that phrase on the clothing," Chris Bevans, who runs the "Beast Mode" line, told ESPN. "This is just listening to the marketplace."
Lynch recently also filed to trademark the phrase, "All about that action BOSS," which he famously said during Super Bowl XLVIII Media Day.
Lynch has been slapped with $100,000 in fines from the NFL for not speaking to the media in the past year, in addition to fines for grabbing his crotch after touchdowns.
