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

[JaxNative68]

^ remember how many times Jax was used by other teams posturing for their city to build them a new stadium before we had the Jags.  I personally think it is all bs.

Time to bury this thread right next to the Blackout thread. RIP Blackout Thread,,,

Congrats Jags fans, all 8 games blackouts lifted.

Take that and stick it LA!

Nice!   Any objections to closing this thread as well?


What say you!

As much as I disliked the use of the blackout thread for even positive Jags news and favored its closing, I do feel that this one has merit. LA looking for a franchise will continue to be a big story, and even with our success this year, the Jags will always be talked about as a possible candidate -- fairly or unfairly -- due to the size of our market. It's kind of nice to have this topic to keep up on the LA news and rumors.

Well actually, form the last story on sport illustrated about a month ago, they have narrowed it down to the raiders and chargers. And they will definately be on the vikings tail after the metrodome collapse. But I doubt if it happens period for anyone. First off, there are in another group that wants to build a stadium as well, so thats an issue. Then too, honestly, no one wants to sell their team. I think the most likely candidates will be the ones with stadium issues to be honest. If someone was going to sell there team it would have happened by now.

With the Jags continuing to sell out, the "Jags to LA" crap is dead concerning anyone credible in the media. Only the anti-Jax trolls on sites like PFT will continue the LA Jag propaganda.

This is another tread that needs to be killed. I wish someone would lock it.

I think that people in Jax should be looking for a new owner loyal to Jax to buy the team when Weaver or his family finally sells it.  He has made it known that when he gets too old and/or passes on, his family has no interest in retaining ownership.  This is likely the biggest risk of all to the team staying in Jax.  A new investor, paying much more for the team than Weaver did, will be much more hard nosed about the numbers than Weaver has been.  Jax will really have its work cut out then unless such investor has an emotional commitment to the City like Weaver does.

I think that the whole 'New owner is gonna flee Jax" thing is highly overblown, like we are some undesired city or something. Another thing that is overblown is the whole "If we lose the Jags, we're never gonna get another NFL team" Nobody knows that! If Charlotte can lose the Hornets to NOLA, and get another franchise (Bobcats), anything can happen. Of course I don't want the Jags to go nowhere.

[Keith-N-Jax]

If we lose the jags we wont get another team!

[I-10east]

What kinda crystal ball do you have?

[Keith-N-Jax]

The Kind that says Jax wont get another team if we lose the one we have. Unlike L.A theres no big productions going on here, no large television market and so on and so on. I'm thankful we have a team, but listening to the way some people talk in this area they take it for granted. Its more than just winning games. Jags organization does alot for our community. If any one thinks that we could lose the jags and then get another team later, your dreaming and probably should put that bottle down.

Continue playing the "Jax inferiority complex card". It's all good, if the "inferiority card" will motivate Jag fans to go to games like it's the last NFL game played in this city, then that's cool. Of all the cities that lost a NFL team how many got another NFL team? Nearly all of them! The only one (besides LA so far) that I can think of lost it's status as a NFL city "forever" is the Canton Bulldogs, and the city of Canton has the NFL HOF! So continue to use words that hold no weight like "never". Notice the "never" argument always progresses in time; Jax will "never" get the Super Bowl; Then that turns into Jax will "never" get the SB again...and..so on...and so on until 50 percent of Jax residents gets high blood pressure. This has nothing to do with me being a "Duval homer", I'm just a person that's living in reality, and I know I can't play God.

Keep dreaming buddy! and you are a Duval homer, you take offense to every and anything negative said about Jax which many of them are very true. I think Weaver and the players have won many new fans this yr by getting more involved with the community and the thrilling victories at home this yr have certainly help. Along with the new payment plans for STH I think things will be even better for next season. Inferiority card has nothing to do with it. I was born and raised here so it will always be my home. Anyway Go Jags, lets get a win Sun.
