This thread is full of win and awesomeness!!!! I love it. Everytime the jags lose this thread grows by 3 pages lol.

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.

Wait, people go to Outback for a decent dinner? That's news to me.

Outback Steakhouse, where the wealthy socialites go to wine & dine. LOL

So if your blooming onion doesn't meet your standard, you just don't pay for it?  You sound like a pleasure to deal with.

Back to the original thread... I heard Sunday on one of the network broadcasts that the NFL actually wants two teams to move into the LA market. The thought is that LA can support two franchises. Not sure that's the case any more. Too many years without a team. Too much apathy in Hollywood. Then again, if USC continues to have a few more down years, then the NFL might be able to stoke that fire.

Perhaps calling for two teams is the NFLs way of nto having to decide which stadium deal they prefer. A "we'll take them both" situation is you will.

Concerning LA's "two franchises" you have to learn how to crawl before you can walk. They have enough issues just getting one franchise there never the less two. I think that it's insane for a questionable city that already lost three franchises to jump the gun like that, demanding two teams; Regardless of LA's impressive market size.

^They've been talking about two teams in LA for a long time now. The preference would be for them to share one stadium like the Giants and Jets do in Jersey. There have also been talks about the San Francisco and Oakland sharing the proposed new 49ers stadium in Santa Clara.

I seriously doubt that any more NFL teams (outside of NYG NYJ) will share any stadiums any time soon, if ever again in our lifetime. I also have heard dumb rumors about Chicago getting another team, which I don't believe. SF is definitely not down with sharing a stadium with OAK.

I heard they told Turk to kick himself to the curb, but when he did he only went 22 yards...

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.

Joking aside, this city cannot afford any NFL team, much less this one.

Well if that's the case, then there's quite a bit of NFL cities who cannot 'afford' their teams. I'm a lil' puzzled as to what you were getting at.

Actually, they are.

It's been the Raiders who have been less interested (actually Al Davis appeared to have been okay with sharing, but he wanted the stadium in Oakland, not Santa Clara, where the 49ers are planning to move).

Just some more defeatist nonsense, evidently.
