Well since were all speaking for Wayne Weaver, has anyone spoken to him? Geez... We have a team and lets sell some tickets and have a great season. No more Tebow, no more selling the team, no more LA Jags.

Weaver is ready to sell the team, instead of a Blaine Bump, he could have a Tebow Firestorm of ticketsales, Im Just saying.

Huh?

I was saying that the Wayne is ready to sell them team, based upon not drafting the guy who would have given him a firestorm in Ticket Sales in my opinion.

Hopefully Blaine will be a decent QB.

Gene Smith runs the draft, not Wayne Weaver.

But just to play along with what you're saying. You're suggesting Wayne Weaver wants to sell the team and didn't draft Tebow because he would have sold too many tickets. Think about how dumb that sounds.

Let it go.  Tebow gets his chance in Denver this year assuming Orton doesn't keep the job.  Tebow would have sold exactly 666 season tickets.  Why?  Because all the jack-off Tebow/Gator lovers never even went to college, they just thought the colors were cool and how the blue and orange coozie looked around their Mille HighLifes.  They're the same ones on the TU board that aren't intelligent enough to realize that the only FL pick to work out for us in the last decade was Fred Taylor, and then they bitched about him and his 'fragile' tag.  Look at his stats, he played a lot more and did a lot more than he gets credit for - even for the high-school, drop-out UF fans.    Were you at the game when Alualu stuffed Tebow at the line of scrimmage?  No, you weren't.  You were still looking for excuses not to buy a ticket.  Just face the facts.  It's tough to buy a season ticket when you're still working 2 jobs waiting tables, after dropping out your sophmore year because you thought buying a Tebow jersey and some UF gear was the same as having a UF degree.  You know another thing Denver has?  Medicinal Marijuana.  Maybe you could move there and ease some of your Tebow cravings.

The Tim Tebow thing reminds me of that scene from "Me, Myself, and Irene" with the cow...I simply do not have the energy to fight this fight any more... :-[ 

Say what you wish, Non-Redneck Westsider, but manasia's and other like-minded people's opinion on this matter won't change.  That's just how it's going to have to be until the end of time.  I'm glad he's in a place where he's seen as the new QB--not a messiah--so he isn't at risk of being crushed by the outrageous burden he would have faced here from both Tebow "haters" and Tebow "leg-humpers".  The same can be said about the anti-Del Rio crowd; their dissatisfaction is equally illogical, but nothing will change his detractor's minds about his performance...nothing short of a Super Bowl ring.  Even then, they'd better blow out the other team.

I don't want to change their mind.  I want them to realize that somewhere ,subconsciously that they know the truth, but they can't find a way to admit it to you, me or themselves.  They start thinking of other things that they know they do: twist every doorknob to the right, exhale only on even breaths, look behind them when leaving their own bathroom to make sure they were alone, etc... until they realize that their Tebow fetish is nothing more than a manifestation of mild schizophrenia and there's nothing they can do to shake it.  (Counting your breaths manasia?;)

The Jags could win the next 3 SBs and the Bronco's could go 5-43 over the same period of time, but we should have drafted him anyhow because he would have been the savior of this team.  It's OK Kells, I'm used to dealing with these people, but they usually aren't on internet boards because it's really hard to type with 2 arms behind your back in a straightjacket and your blood coursing with sedatives.  :D

The Tebow thing was another opinion, but my biggest factor not buying season tickets is Jack Del Rio, when we get a new coach, I will be happy to support more of my finances to the team.

I take off my hat to folks who buy season tickets, with JDR as coach, your better than me.

The race is not always to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor satisfaction to the wise,
Nor riches to the smart,
Nor grace to the learned.
Sooner or later bad luck hits us all.

Good work thus far. Hopefully the lockout will be resolved before games are sacrificed. I can't imagine what that'll do to the team. But as dire as some people seem to imagine our situation is in their wet dreams, I think we're in a better position if the lockout carries into the season. We don't have to pay off a billion-dollar palace like some people.

It seems that they would simply postpone the season pushing the playoffs deeper into the winter months.  Could make for some epic football!

I actually want to have a pre season this year because I want to see how Blaine will play.

I love seeing huge swaths of empty seats in Los Angeles' stadiums. Weavers, are you paying attention? Go JACKSONVILLE Jags!

Went to annual meeting of the Jacksonville Jaguars Booster Club last night at the stadium.  The Weavers graciously provide the space and the food for this each year.  Mr. Weaver was optimistic about contract negotiations  said he felt that a deal would get done in time for training camp but of course couldn't promise anything.

UrbanLibertarian - Since you are a booster do you know if they are going to mail out season tickets as usual this year or will they wait until negotiations are settled?

urbanlibertarian

I don't know, but I suspect that they will be mailed out as usual and we will get a refund for any game not played.

Thanks for the insight. I was actually looking forward to the preseason game on 8/19 but we will have to wait and see if it takes place.

Maybe the Dodgers will move to Jacksonville........ ;)
