Marshawn Lynch Goes "Popcorn Mode" At Seattle Kraken Game In Winnipeg

Let's think about EXTREMELY unlikely events which have actually taken place.

Say, like being dealt a royal flush in poker. The odds are one in 649,740. "If you were dealt 20 hands of poker every night of the year, in 89 years you should only expect to see one royal flush." But it has happened.

How about the odds of any one person being alive? "The probability of you existing at all comes out to 1 in 10 ^2,685,000 - yes, that's a 10 followed by 2,685,000 zeroes!" Yet, here I am writing this, and there you are reading this.

Which brings us to an almost as unlikely occurrence at Tuesday's Seattle Kraken-Winnipeg Jets game.

More specifically, that in the stands watching - a hockey game, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, wearing a Seattle Kraken sweater and munching on a huge bag of popcorn - would be former Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch.

You know who else noticed? Everybody. Googling "Marshawn Lynch Winnipeg" returns 586,000 results.

The Kraken TV broadcast said Lynch was in town filming a movie.

This isn't "Beast Mode's" first foray into acting. He was most recently cast for a movie in production about college recruiting called "Signing Day." According to a press release , "Lynch also played roles in television shows (‘Westworld,’ ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine,’ and the breakout summer hit ‘Bottoms‘)."

Lynch got additional screen time on the ROOT Sports Kraken telecast. During commercial breaks, he was seen promoting a local plumbing company.

The Jets broadcast on TSN also featured the well known member of the Kraken ownership group.

During his playing days, Lynch was a man of many fewer words, at least in public. At media day prior to the Seahawks playing in Super Bowl XLIX, he answered questions by only saying, “I’m just here so I won’t get fined.”
