Seattle Seahawks legend Marshawn Lynch recently sat down with Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe to dish on his relationship with his former teammate Russell Wilson and head coach Pete Carroll.

Lynch joined the Seahawks in 2010 and decided to retire after the 2015 season. He sat out of the entire 2016 season, but returned to football in 2017 and signed with the then-Oakland Raiders. After a two-year stint with the Raiders, Lynch returned to Seattle for the final game of the 2019 regular season and the playoffs.

However, Lynch's reunion with the Seahawks did not appear to mend the strained relationship the running back had with Carroll. "I don’t think he understood where I was coming from," Lynch said in reference to the coach during a recent episode of Sharpe's "Club Shay Shay" podcast.

Lynch was, however, complimentary of Carroll's ability to motivate his teams.

"My relationship with Pete was interesting," he said. "I like Pete as a coach because he gets [expletive] ready to go. That’s the truth. He’s the same way every day. He’s a great motivator in getting [expletive] ready. But it was just that I didn’t need that."

SUPER BOWL CHAMPION BOBBY WAGNER SAYS HIS CURRENT SEAHAWKS TEAM HASN'T 'REACHED ITS POTENTIAL YET'

The infamous decision to throw the ball on the 1-yard line in Super Bowl XLIX did not appear to help Lynch's fraught relationship with Carroll. 

Instead of giving Lynch the opportunity to run the ball into the end zone, Carroll decided to let Wilson throw. New England Patriots defensive back Malcolm Butler intercepted the ball and ended Seattle's hopes of winning a second straight NFL championship.

Lynch said after the play he laughed at Carroll for what he described as "the dumbest call in football history."

"I usually don't take my helmet off… but you know, I take my helmet off, and I go right to Pete Carroll's face, and I'm talking 'bout I hit [him] with the biggest ahahaha," Lynch described. 

Lynch said he "most definitely" believes that decision to pass ended Seattle’s run as one of the NFL's best teams. He added the franchise is "suffering from it still to this day."

During a separate sequence of the podcast, Lynch suggested that his relationship with Wilson was strictly professional and did not extend beyond the football field.

"Russ was just a QB for me. … I don’t have his number," Lynch told Sharpe.

Lynch recalled a time when he wanted to reach out to Wilson after a game, but he did not have the quarterback's phone number, so he attempted to get it from someone in the team's front office.

But Lynch said Wilson ended up calling him from a blocked phone number.

"I don’t know how, all I know is I got a call from a blocked number," Lynch said. "This is the first time I tried to have a conversation with Russ."

Lynch finished his NFL career with 10,413 rushing yards.

The White House mocked "dysfunction-engulfed House Republicans" Friday as they work to select a new speaker of the House, while praising President Biden for focusing on the economy and the American people.

The House of Representatives, in a historic first on Tuesday, voted to remove Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., as speaker of the House, after Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., introduced a motion to vacate.

McCarthy’s removal came just days after a continuing resolution was agreed upon to continue funding the government, despite weeks of GOP infighting over Ukraine aid. The government was set to run out of funding on Sept. 30, but Congress managed to come to an agreement in the 11th hour.

Now, the House Republican Conference is considering who should serve as the next House speaker, with Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., the top options.

Over at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, though, White House officials are mocking House Republicans for being unable to "get their act together." 

HOUSE REPUBLICANS MOVE 'FULL STEAM AHEAD' ON IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY EVEN AMID SPEAKER UNCERTAINTY

In a memo Friday, White House Deputy Press Secretary and Senior Communications Adviser Andrew Bates touted President Biden’s work in extending his "record of historic job gains powering the United States economy."

"But while the President leads by putting hardworking families first and growing our economy with solid and tested plans, House Republicans are threatening to raise costs and kill jobs as their conference devolves into chaotic bickering and they insist on radical MAGAnomics policies," Bates wrote.

"Less than one week ago, the House GOP attempted to singlehandedly shut down the American government unless they could make severe cuts to small businesses, manufacturing, law enforcement, and border security, while raising health care and housing costs," he wrote.

Bates added: "When the government remained open, for the good of all Americans, they turned on each other and made the only chamber of Congress they control dysfunctional."

"Now, nearly a week since they unseated the Speaker of the House, congressional Republicans still can’t get their act together," he continued.

Bates warned that in the next government funding debate, Republicans could "again try to force painful cuts for the middle class onto the country, even though they support deficit-hiking tax welfare for rich special interests at the same time."

"This is a choice that boils down to economic growth and progress versus divisive infighting and losing out to countries like China," he wrote, while touting "Bidenomics" for "fulfilling the long-sought return of manufacturing to the United States — including in a multitude of red states — producing historic job growth, and lowering prescription drug and energy costs."

"MAGAnomics represents dysfunction as House Republicans fall over each other and point fingers as they try to sell the middle class out to giant corporations and the wealthy," he wrote.

The Bates memo comes after White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday, following the vote to remove McCarthy, said President Biden hopes Republicans "quickly" elect a speaker.

"President Biden has demonstrated that he is always eager to work with both parties in Congress in good faith on behalf of the American people," she said. "Because the urgent challenges facing our nation will not wait, he hopes the House will quickly elect a speaker." 

She added: "Once the House has met their responsibility to elect a speaker, he looks forward to working together with them and with the Senate to address the American peoples’ priorities." 

On Tuesday, House Republicans are set to meet for a candidate forum, to consider their options. They are expected to vote on a House speaker on Wednesday.
