I’m Loving the Skittle Nike’s Marshawn Lynch Rocked Last Weekend

Found December 27, 2011 on Unathletic:
PLAYERS: Marshawn Lynch
TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks

I’m not going to lie, Nike did it again. That’s some pretty sweet stuff right there. Marshawn Lynch has created a monster with this Skittles thing. I really hope this doesn’t start a trend of athletes popping candy on the sidelines trying to get seen. We really don’t need to see Cam Newton eating Nerds on the sidelines. Let’s just leave it with Marshawn and his Skittles. Thanks to our homies TerezOwens for the picture.
