Caution: LA is coming to steal your NFL team in 2011

Check this out: a list of likely relocation candidates that doesn't include Jacksonville. Someone finally got the message that there are (several) teams more in danger of moving than the Jags. About damn time.

^^^ESPN LA's Arash Markazi (he's literally a rash) was the same idiot who said that the Jags makes the most sense to move to LA because of it's "small market size & lack of fan support". Never mind the other teams with more problematic ticket issues lately. That lightbulb in his dome finally clicked on that the Jags aren't going anywhere, whether he like it or not.

This team SUCKS. I for one don't give a DAMN if they were to leave or not. What person in their right mind plays to see a losing team, LOSE, every damn week? Do you pay for a half-assed dinner at Outback? Hell no.

Jack DeLOSERio and Wayne "We gotta..." Weaver, GET OUT, PLEASE.

Go home immediately and tell your mother to give you a hug. Looks like you could use one.

WTF!!!You do know that Wayne Weaver is the freaking owner of the Jags, right? Why do you keep calling for someone to replace the owner? That's freaking asinine! That's like asking for Jerry to step down for the Cowboys. Keep dreaming buddy, because the owner as long as he's alive aint going anywhere! Now wanting a new coach for the Jags is a different story.

I can't think of many cities whose image would be helped by the Jaguars - maybe Camden NJ?

It's more the NFL that enhances a city's image than a particular team and it's success on the field. It's being mentioned in the national media and seen more often on TV.

We'd get more bang for the buck if we could get Florida to have a few home games here, in addition to the GA-FL game.

I was pretty sick yesterday and had to give away my ticket, but it looked like a pretty damn healthy crowd again yesterday, especially considering a) our slow start, and b) our opponent. I think I heard 61,000+. Nice work Jacksonville. We're definitely getting there.

Pile on the Jags for losing if you must, but this is an organization filled with first-class people who are dedicated to the Jacksonville community and charitably inclined. I'm tired of the treatment of the Jags as a punch line within certain segments of Jacksonville.

Seeing as how the Jags have an all-time record of 134-125 during the regular season, your 'lose every week' statement is demonstrably false.

I pay to see a football team, every week, in my adopted hometown. Do you know how cool that is? I couldn't do that in any of the places I've lived previously - could you? I'm sorry you can't comprehend or appreciate that. Your loss.

I agree Wacca. Their some cities who never had "winning teams" EVER. We have had our good years, and unfortunately we are seeing the bad now. Im also tired of the treatment as well. Its getting really old. Look at the Lions for example, their team has ALWAYS been the pits, and even with detriot losing population that have had the Lions back 100%.

You have no idea what that the presence of the NFL and this team has done for this city. If they left town, this city would be ripped inside out. Its not all about winning and losing on the field. The break their backs and pump millions and millions of dollars in this community. The Jags put this city on the map. Before we got a team nobody even knew where Jacksonville Fl was. They are ALL we have. I would not wish that fate on this city ever. So how about you leave!!
