Ironically I was going to post this thread.  lol. 

well, as you ca tell we are having a drought of quality posters....so you need to stay. Anyways I think there is some by-laws that say we have to always have a Seahawks fan at the Huddle.

I guess it's true what they say about running backs, when they hit their thirties, and the wall, huh?

...I'll see myself out.  Probably all the way to hell, but I'll see myself out.

I guess an eye witness account doesn't qualify as evidence in Renton?

That guy is dead.  Funny, hunh?

what?

The eyewitness?  Rubbed out?  No one saw anything? 

 

 

Sarcasm??

Okay.  Back to other things.

Maybe not a wall, but the STOP sign just appears in front of them and even if they honk their horn, it won't get out of the way.

Not alone on that purgatory express

Yield signs are usually the sneaky ones.

 I guess, like his team, Jackson couldn't perform in the Clutch.

PFT has changed the article now, and the headline has been updated to say only that TMZ was reporting it as a race, not that it happened.

Here's the original headline and text:

Fred Jackson wrecks car in reported drag race with Marshawn Lynch

TMZ was first to report that a drag race outside the Seahawks’ training facility between running backs Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch ended with Jackson wrecking his Corvette, first into a planter box and then into a stop sign.

There’s proof of that, too. That stop sign is at the corner of Seahawks Way and Lake Washington Boulevard, not far from the facility.

TMZ cited a witness who said Jackson and Lynch were racing as they left practice. After Jackson wrecked, teammates including Richard Sherman and team staffers reportedly came to his aid.

Per TMZ, Lynch drove away.

Just about that action, boss.

The altered version is here: TMZ reports drag race between Seahawks teammates

The initial paragraph is unchanged, but what follows is completely different.

PFT later confirmed, however, that Jackson was involved in an accident and is fine.

TMZ cited a witness who said Jackson and Lynch were racing as they left practice. The Renton Police later reported that there was no evidence of a drag race.

Per TMZ, Lynch drove away. Jackson later tweeted that Lynch was one of two teammates to check on him.

What's the truth?

Decide for yourselves.

I wasn't getting offended or anything, I just don't know what you're talking about.

 

 

The eyewitness?  Rubbed out?  No one saw anything? 

 

 

Sarcasm??

Okay.  Back to other things.

Still don't get the reference, heh.  Moving on.

All that money and you get a corvette?  

Not known for its handling, coupled with the fact it's probably pushing 600-700bhp.  Bad combo if you're not a professional driver.

Long or short?

I guess an eye witness account doesn't qualify as evidence in Renton?

It doesn't when this "witness" only talks to TMZ and not the police.  It sounds like they saw a loud sports car crash and told TMZ it was racing.  I'm not sure that type of witness account even means anything.

Meanwhile...

Seahawks DC on how to avoid miscommunication: "Get in the huddle."
