With Skittles in tow, Marshawn Lynch plays chicken with bus in Scotland

Here is a real thing. Visiting Scotland, former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch was doing wheelies down a street before nearly colliding with a city bus.

Here is a real thing. While visiting Scotland, former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch was captured on video doing wheelies on his bike before nearly colliding with a city bus.

On the front of his bike was a giant bag of Skittles.

There are a few possibilities to consider here. Firstly, Lynch was either playing a very dangerous game of chicken with the bus or he didn’t know the whole deal about the Scots driving on the opposite side of the road. If it was the latter, he figured it out just in time, swerving out of the vehicle’s way before getting hit.

Secondly, this was either Lynch just doing retirement his way or an incredibly odd — and humorous — Skittles marketing campaign (we assume he’s still sponsored by the candy company even though his playing days are over).

Whatever the answers are, it’s clear Lynch has become even more enjoyable since his retirement. After all, he wasn’t the most personable NFL player.

Since his last NFL snap, he’s already appeared on Bear Grylls’ survival show and found employment at a chocolate company.

Now he’s just, you know, doing wheelies while playing chicken with a bus in Scotland to (possibly) promote Skittles. Retirement isn’t so bad.
