SI's Michael Silver: Not a fan of Wayne Weaver or the city of Jacksonville

[copperfiend]

He released his meaningless owners rankings. Here is his take on WW:

28. Wayne Weaver, Jaguars
Last year the man I nicknamed Whine Weaver couldn't crack the bottom eight, but he gets more annoying by the week. First and foremost, he fought to put an expansion franchise in a lightweight town, yet he can't stop crying about his status as a small-market owner and demands revenue-sharing as though it were his birthright. Weaver also, as one owner says, "constantly denies his team is for sale when everyone knows full well it is."

Hey, I just came up with a solution to the L.A. problem: Weaver sells the team to a non-whiner like, say, Larry Ellison or Casey Wasserman, who moves it to the Coliseum (and, soon after, to a newly constructed, Jerry Jones-style palace) and hires Pete Carroll. Any objections coming from outside of Jacksonville's 9,456-mile city limits? Didn't think so.

And in his mailbag:

Michelle Wie win? Maybe endorsements. Tournaments? Nah. What is your timeline? Winner buys dinner? Maybe if you are sentenced to attend a football game in Jacksonville (yes, I know your feelings for J'ville) we can settle the bet!

-- Mike Zambetti from Jacksonville, Fla.

How about this: I'll bet you Wie wins a major before Jacksonville hosts another Super Bowl.
