Super Bowl Media Day 2015: TV Coverage, Live Stream and Preview
"I'm just about that action, boss."
A simple phrase, uttered by Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch at last year's Super Bowl media day, sets the bar high for the 2015 iteration of the event.
Lynch and the Seahawks are back for Round 2. Much has changed since then. Lynch is even more of an enigma this time around. Replace Peyton Manning with Tom Brady and add a dash of deflation, and, well, perhaps things are not all that different.

What to Expect
Action, boss.
But really, this media day is one for the ages. Lynch leads the way, of course.
Forget his 157 rushing yards and touchdown in an overtime victory against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game. Forget that any doubt about his future with the Seahawks is a thing of the past.
What will be the focal point of the sessions is Lynch's willingness to talk to the media. As ESPN's Adam Schefter notes, the league fined him for a recent gesture, and he may face stiffer fines if he does not get chatty with the media:
Lynch has not remained silent on the issue:
He certainly will not during Tuesday's event. Or he will and will take the hit to his wallet. The possibilities only help hype media day.
But Lynch is far from the biggest sticking point of the event.
Deflategate will take center stage. It is hard to imagine Bill Belichick and his organization will deviate from what they've said in press conferences, though, via The Associated Press:
That mum game may become boring for observers in a hurry, but the trash talk will not.
Both sides have already dabbled a bit in this arena, as Sports Radio KJR's Curtis Crabtree points out:
It seems silly to provoke a guy who has scored 54 touchdowns in five seasons (Lane has 53 career tackles), but that's part of the fun when players step in front of microphones on their way to the Super Bowl.
For his part, Rob Gronkowski seems well aware of the comments, per Fox Sports: NFL:
Rest assured the globe will hear more from Gronkowski on the matter Tuesday.
That is only the beginning, though. Remember the postgame altercation between Brady and Richard Sherman a few years back?
Sherman has already brought up that situation again, per Marc Sessler of NFL.com:
"Like I said before, I think people sometimes get a skewed view of Tom Brady. That he's just a clean-cut, does everything right, and never says a bad word to anyone. And we know him to be otherwise. So, in that moment of him being himself, he said some things and we returned the favor. And unfortunately he apparently didn't remember what he said, etc., etc., but I'm sure in those moments of him yelling at the ref he's just saying, 'Good job, you're doing a fantastic job, keep it up.'
"
Brady is a tad preoccupied with other things at the moment given the controversy surrounding his team, but rest assured he will have plenty to say on the topic.

Really, though, media days can produce anything and everything. Last year, there was chatter about celebrations, hairstyles and more, not just the controversies of the moment and the game itself.
Tuesday, the most intimate look at the players who will compete in the Super Bowl presents itself to fans. Regardless of the potential drama, fans won't want to miss the action.
