The moral of this story may just be to always take what TMZ reports with a grain of salt.
When Seattle Seahawks running back Fred Jackson rammed his car into a sign pole this afternoon, tmz.com reported that witnesses saw Jackson drag racing with Marshawn Lynch just outside the Seahawks practice facility, and that caused the crash.

Jackson reportedly did not sustain any injuries, but if indeed that had been the cause of the crash, it would have had potentially massive implications for Lynch and the Seahawks.
