In the recreation, now much bulked-up, the former 215 lbs Running back enters the Applebees and says, “Damn, s*** is still the same”. Then he states “I am really like that. The owner of the place, I fu**** know that, y’all know that? Well, you learn something new everyday B”.

The complete bit is even more hilarious. Back in his 2007 ESPN segment, then 21-year-old Lynch had said, ”I love the ambiance, I love the decor, I spend a lot of time trying to figure out which one I like more.” Since decor plays an integral part in determining the ambiance, it seemed that the incredible former player had no clue what both meant.
In his recreation, he admits that ”After all this time, it’s still the same ambiance and the same decor. I know now. When I first said it, I had no idea what the f*** that meant.”
The disgruntled Trail Blazers Guard must be digging some content up since the NFL On Prime Insta page published it 11 weeks ago. Lynch’s return to Buffalo must have also intrigued Lillard. Both of them are from Oakland and Lillard has always given Lynch his props.

In 2017, the NBA scoring phenom released an Album called Confirmed. In that album, he had a song called “Marshawn Lynch” dedicated to the former Seahawks player. Back in 2018, the former Weber State Guard was seen rocking Beast Mode‘s #24 Raiders jersey.

This happened when Lynch was a part of the Oakland Raiders for two seasons at the tail-end of his career. It is clear that the sharpshooter loves his brother from Oakland. Both of them are cult figures there.
