John Lynch has some advice after he suffered an unfortunate accident.
The general manager spoke to local media on Tuesday via conference call instead of in person because of his appearance. Lynch explained what happened right after the club finalized an extension with Deebo Samuel.
“I had a little biking incident — situation,” Lynch said with a laugh, per NBC Sports Bay Area. “Ironically right after we finished Deebo, Linda said ‘Time to get some fresh air.’ We went outside and I happened to land on my face. So I’m a little bruised up and not interested in becoming a meme going forward so I’m laying low for a little bit.”
Lynch added that he was not wearing a helmet when this accident occurred.
“Here’s my PSA announcement — I was not and I paid for it,” Lynch said. “I’m scheduled to be in Canton to support a couple of friends — Bryan Young and Tony Boselli. I don’t know. I can wear shades but I think I’m going to be answering so many questions I might just be better up here in my office.”
The only thing he ended up hurting was his ego in the fall.
“No broken bones, but broken ego,” Lynch added.
