The Jacksonville Jaguars

[tufsu1]

I have some guys on Seattle's defense in one of my fantasy leagues.  I'll be watching to see how many points they can rack up.

and I have the Seattle D in the MJ fantasy league

This will probably be the first year I watch college football with more reason. We will suffer this and probably next season as well. Honestly the Jags really haven't had a decent QB since MB, not to say DG was bad though.

We all kind of follow the same pattern:

Sunday: "Man, that was AWFUL! I hate to say it, but I'm out for the season."

Tuesday: "Wellllll, _____________ didn't look THAT bad last week."

Thursday: "FOOTBALL!FOOTBALL!FOOTBALL!JAGS!FOOTBALL!"

LOL

I think we just earned a reprieve from the media for a day or two. 

Browns just traded T. Richardson to the Colts for the 2014 FRP.

Browns trade running back Trent Richardson traded to Indianapolis Colts for first-round pick

Frank Schwab 4 hours ago Shutdown Corner

Two games into Trent Richardson's second season, the Cleveland Browns have given up on the running back who was the third pick of the 2012 draft. In a surprise move, the Browns shipped Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday for a first-round pick in the 2014 draft.

There's spinning your wheels, then there's the Browns. This is one of the more baffling moves the team has pulled off, and there have been plenty to go around.

Richardson has not been great in his one-plus NFL seasons, but last year he was playing through injuries most of the season. He has flashed his tremendous talent already (when the Browns weren't deciding to let Brandon Weeden throw 53 times in a close Week 1 while giving Richardson just 13 carries in a close game, anyway). The new front office, led by general manager Mike Lombardi, decided to ship off Richardson already – and in the process announce they've practically given up on the 2014 season after two games.

For now, it looks as if the Browns will turn to free agent veteran Willis McGahee to fill the role that Richardson is leaving.

When you give up on the third pick of the draft after a little more than a year and turn to someone like McGahee, you have to wonder if the franchise has any long-term vision. There's almost no chance the Colts' pick will be in the top five, especially now that the offense has added a legitimate running back.

The Colts lost starting running back Vick Ballard to a freak knee injury in practice last week, leaving them with Ahmad Bradshaw and little else. Colts owner Jim Irsay got Twitter buzzing with this message on Wednesday afternoon.

Less than an hour later the Colts had stolen Richardson from the Browns.

    "Trent's a great player and we expect him to have success in this league," Browns CEO Joe Banner said, according to AP. "Right now, based on how we're building this team for sustainable success, we're going to be aggressive and do what it takes to assemble a team that consistently wins."

Richardson has 298 carries for 1,055 yards and 11 touchdowns in his 17 NFL games, while adding 58 receptions for 418 yards and one touchdown. Again, he dealt with injuries last season, including broken ribs, so the numbers don't tell the whole story.

How bad was this trade? Well, Cleveland running back Dion Lewis, who is on injured reserve, wasn't sure if he was being pranked:

The Browns at least have some ammunition for next year's draft. After the Richardson trade, it's a pretty good bet their own pick will be very high in the first round.

NFL official: Permanent London move "clearly" not close

Posted by Darin Gantt on September 19, 2013, 5:46 AM EDT

Every time games in London grow closer on the schedule, certain fan bases worry that they're about to lose their team to England for good.

But a league official said that move "clearly" isn't imminent, for any team.

Chris Parsons, the league's senior vice president for international business, said they're still working to grow the fan base in London, and this year's two games were virtual sellouts within two weeks.

"We'd like to continue to grow our fan base even more aggressively," Parsons told Tom Pelissero of USA Today. "And whether that's doubling it from where it is today – I'm not entirely sure what the exact number is – I certainly would want us to be even bigger in the UK before we made a move like that, which clearly wouldn't be something that would happen in the near term."

The first of the games is coming up, as the Vikings "host" the Steelers on Sept. 29, while the Jaguars have a home game against the 49ers on Oct. 27.

Both games will be held in iconic Wembley Stadium, which holds 84,500 for football.

The Jaguars have been viewed as the leading candidate for relocation, but future plans might involve them playing a home and a road game there, which wouldn't hack 25 percent off the season ticket inventory for the other fan base Shad Khan is trying to grow.

The Atlantic Monthly has a good article on NFL and member teams finances. It makes for some good reading:

The Jaguars are officially unwatchable. This team is just so bad.

I'm a huge Jaguars fan, but I don't think I can take watching them play so pitifully.

Fair Weather Fan! You sound like a Gator fan? If my team isn't winning I'm not going to watch them  ! The Jaguars did a lot better today if you can't see this then you're blind! Yes we lost 17 to 45 but we looked better.
