On another note, I heard that Beer Sales do not stop now at the end of the 3rd qtr., they did so during the last 2 Jags games so far this year.  Apparently Khan wants more beer revenue, so beer sales now go the entire game. This must make JSO very happy, so that they have more drunks on the road and more brawls around Jax after games.

False.

The NFL does not set alcohol policy, though they do issue a "Best Fan Conduct Practices Policy" that I believe is what the Jaguars model their rules off of. For the NFL to control it, with every locality having different rules and regulations about alcohol it would be an overhead nightmare that would bankrupt the NFL.

Nowhere on the stadium grounds may you purchase alcohol once the fourth quarter has begun. The start time of the game determines when the sales stop, either at the beginning of the 3rd quarter (start after 7pm??) or the end of the 3rd quarter (for games with a kickoff before 7pm??).

And also, not that you in particular care about facts, but Khan makes no profit off of longer beer sales. Each concession is leased at an agreed rate regardless of how much it will pull in. The operator of the concession (Ovations, and others I can't think of right now) then coordinates with nonprofit agencies to staff the event. The profits from sales are then split between the operator and the nonprofit staffing. So every time you purchase a beer and hot dog, ask them who you are supporting that day because that money going towards a fundraiser of some sort.

I guess I really can't fault mtrain for not realizing the full benefit that having an NFL team provides to the community, most people don't. It is much more than just making one owner and 53 players rich.

Wow, I didn't know this. Thanks for the information, I feel better about buying my adult beverages now. It's going to a good cause.

The level of ignorance and hatred some people have towards the organization and owner are astounding sometimes... I feel like they just cherry pick anything to complain about regardless of being wrong or right.

The Jacksonville media has set the tone for this for years.

This PHI @ IND game (tied 20-20 in the 3rd) is good right now.

The Eggles are going for the win, annnnddd they won 30-27. The Colts iced the kicker, so the PHI kicker had to kick it in again. I'm I the only one that thinks 'icing the kicker' is bush league, and should be banned?

I'm just getting back to Jax. Just turned on the tv and Tampa is losing 56-14? Since when did they allow a high school football team to dress up in NFL uniforms?

People say we have a talent deficit. Currently the Bucs are suffering from a management deficit.

Tampa Bay suffers from exactly what ails the Jags, a QB problem. Only ours is self-inflicted because the coaches won't play our future QB today, Tampa Bay has no QB, period!

McCown is garbage—just because he had five good games last year after a decade of mediocrity the Bucs brought him in as a starter?—but Glennon's not that bad. Tampa's problems run way deeper than who they have throwing the ball.

They are not NFL uniforms...

Wait, in the Jaguars thread you said that we need to get a grip and Bortles should sit until next season. Are you drunk? LOL

Delete that F*&%&$G comment NOW!!!!!!!   

When a pissed off, 0-2 Andrew Luck hangs 60 on us Sunday, I'm not blaming our Defense or our massive amounts of 3 & outs or our lack of punt coverage or anything that happens on the field. 


I'm blaming duvaldude08 and his disrespect of Karma.  ;D
