Former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch had a career full of accomplishments: a Super Bowl ring, multiple All-Pro honors, more than 10,000 career rushing yards…

And now he has two more accolades to add to his mantel: a pair of FCC complaints.

In a late October appearance on the ManningCast, Beast Mode unleashed some profanity, which roiled the sensibilities of two — yes, two — viewers.

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch warms up at the NFL football team's practice facility Tuesday, Dec. 24, 2019, in Renton, Wash. When Lynch played his last game for the Seahawks in 2016, the idea of him ever wearing a Seahawks uniform again seemed preposterous. Yet, here are the Seahawks getting ready to have Lynch potentially play a major role Sunday against San Francisco with the NFC West title on the line. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)

Lynch dropped a primetime F-bomb late in the first quarter of the October 25th game between New Orleans and Seattle just minutes after saying “s—” on the live feed. Apparently saying “s—” is a no-no across cable television — unless it happens on an episode of Always Sunny, Better Call Saul or one of the nineteen TNT cop dramas still finding their way to the homes of uninterested viewers.

Then after a must-see-TV moment that had Lynch discussing pregame Hennessy shots with Peyton and Eli Manning, Lynch let the F-bomb slip.

“Oh, what the f–k,” Lynch muttered after Seattle quarterback Geno Smith botched a snap. In Lynch’s defense, most of America had the same reaction.

These words were vulgar enough to offend a whole TWO people across the country who found the time to complain to the Federal Communications Commission about it.

Per TMZ, an angry Georgia resident channeled his inner Karen, writing: “NFL Player Marshawn Lynch made an appearance on ‘Monday Night Football’ with Peyton & Eli and repeatedly said ‘s***’ and ‘f***’ on live prime-time television.”
