Looks like the Jaguars are one step closer to moving to London:

I hope you're trolling.

Shad Khan also owns the Four Season in Toronto. Does that mean he's going to move the team there so the visiting teams can stay in his hotel?

The only possible thing this could mean is a second game there, which it's not a secret the team is exploring. It would be an away game, not another home game.

From a guy who never has a problem criticizing the Jags:

"So while Khan might be just a day away from buying Wembley, and might have aspirations to own the first overseas NFL team, the reality is there are still big obstacles in his way. Combine all those obstacles with the fact that Jacksonville fans have been supporting the Jaguars in large numbers this year, and it seems unlikely that we'll see the Jacksonville Jaguars become the London Jaguars any time soon."  ~ Michael David Smith

Well, I posted this in an attempt to trigger I-10. I have to say, I was a *bit* disappointed. His reaction fell far short of the sort of epic I-10 meltdown I've grown fond of.

I guess this is one conspiracy theory involving Muslims that he doesn't buy into.

Sorry to offend your delicate sensibilities, Mavis.

To answer your question: I oppose corporate welfare. And I was always opposed to Touchdown Jacksonville's efforts to lure an NFL franchise to the city by bending over and giving away the farm (and I voted accordingly, for all the good it did).

From a sporting point of view, though I fell out of love with the NFL probably 20 years ago, I was always a Dolphins fan and never gave two shits about the Jaguars and their stupid kickball team-sounding name and lame-ass color scheme.

Then move to Miami already..Nobody here gives a shit about the Dolphins.

The color scheme comment is interesting coming from a follower of a team whose logo was an aquamarine Flipper wearing a whimsical little helmet in front of a sun the color of underhydrated urine. The name comment is interesting coming from someone who, if memory serves, also follows a team called "Totenham Hotspur".

Ennis does, and he's one of the owners of the site. I also followed the Dolphins before the Jags liberated us all (minus a few old cranks) from that iniquity. I think a number of us were.

Yes, I'm a Miami fan. I grew up on them and I'm not from Jax. Doesn't mean I don't want to see the Jags do well though.

That would be "Tottenham Hotspur". At least in the case of that name, it dates back to 1882 (and refers to a local nobleman). But it's kind of a dumb-sounding name, I admit. Probably not the worst soccer team name in the world, though.

Yeah - I have never liked the Dolphins' color scheme. I hate it, to be honest - that's why I never owned any merch. Orange and aqua aren't colors I can pull off.

My complaint about the Jaguars' color scheme is more about the fact that they went with teal, black and silver when every other new team was doing that - solely because it was expected to sell more merchandise. So lame.

Wait...did you honestly tell me to move to Miami because I don't like your stupid NFL team? Jesus, you're a real "snowflake" aren't you.

Although I no longer live in Jax, I wouldn't be surprised if I lived in Jax longer than you have. I could be wrong though.

I don't have a problem with any race of people, but I do have a problem with dystopian authoritarian governments (like your beloved adopted country 'or lack of' the UK) that would make any communist tyrant very proud. The people to blame are the globalist elites at the top (Soros, Merkel, Kochs etc etc etc).

Anyway to your defense, even some Jag fans on Jags Facebook talk about and post the 'potential moving' BS. Funny thing is I bet in the latter years of STL, SD, and soon to be OAK, those fans didn't act so paranoid like many Jags fans, and their teams left/will leave.

Far as your take on the Jags new unis, I'm actually not wild about them (expect for the all black helmet). IMO the new unis are very bland and boring compared to the last years ones. They talk about 'tradition' but don't pick the teal as the primary color. I agree that the new unis were a money grab; I'm not mad at Khan for being business savvy though.
