Anthony Richardson tells joke at Colts press conference, 6/13/2023
Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson had reporters in stitches when he dropped a Marshawn Lynch quote while responding to a question during a press conference after Tuesday's OTA session.

When asked about his impression so far about his new lifestyle of being an NFL quarterback and how it measures up with expectations, Richardson took a long pause before responding:

"I'm just here so I don't get fined...Nah, I'm just kidding."

That quote was made famous by retired NFL running back Marshawn Lynch, who used that phrase repeatedly to answer every question during a Super Bowl Media Day session several years back. It wasn't as funny back then, especially to NFL executives.

This time around, for Richardson to pull that quote out of his hat, without warning, was pretty funny, and got a positive response from the reporters in the room. We will be sure to be watching his press conferences in the future.
