Nice to see that we're both supporting the Jags, would hope there's more ppl that would do that.

I am blessed to be able too. Last year I was not able to do this. I went to maybe three games last year because that is all I could afford. Things are better this year, So I am doing what I can now that Im able. the lock out messed everything up though. Even I had to scrap up money to buy my season tickets. The money I had set aside initalially for them had to go to bills. I could not hold on to 500.00 in hopes that the NFL would get their act together.

It is someone posting on a local news or newspaper website, that's all that needs to be known.

The local newspaper/TV station comments sections are cess pools. At least channel 4 hides them by default.

Here's another list that I'm glad the Jags didn't make - Even though the Bucs are popping up more and more, I don't wish the negative press on any of the Florida teams, really.

^Piling on the FL teams just shows that the sports press doesn't know or care what the economic reality is like in Florida right now. Numbers and assumptions are easier to put in print than actual research. But yes, I'm glad the Jags aren't on that list.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Im glad they finally acknowledge it was never just a Jacksonville problem.

Ok. Now that Al Davis is dead, can't we assume that the Raiders, which are the obvious team to head back to LA, will finally pack up and return to their home? New ownership should have a new attitude. This could take a lot of pressure off our beloved Jags.

So someone kills a few oak trees and you're all up-in-arms.  An actual person dies and you're already trying to give his property away before his body turns cold. 

Ubben.   Stay in Avondale.  Please don't cheer for the Jags.  And I hope that one day you might understand the basic concepts of humanity and could please find it in your soul (if you have one) to put people ahead of plants and animals.

Al Davis, while not one of the more poplular owners of the NFL, still had conviction and priorities.  They were all about running HIS business the way he wanted and that 'going vuhticaal' would win championships.  May he rest in peace.  And may he also kill one of the precious trees in your yard for your blasphemy towards a human being.

You're such a fucking hypocrite.

Al was also a champion for minorities within the NFL. He got a little batty in his later years, but I still love me some Al Davis.

FWIW, I don't think ubben intended any disrespect for him. He was simply being pragmatic. No need to mount the proverbial high horse.

Thanks buckethead. This is a thread about LA trying to steal the Jags and that is the issue my comment referred to. I stand by my comment.
