| Look at it this way all we will have to do is get on I10 to go to the games if this happens. On a serious note. I am just as tired as anyone else that these reports keep coming out. If it happens it happens I did what I could do by buying my tickets. I also ask ayone who I see wearing Jag gear if they have their tickets and if not why don't they. I will enjoy this year and the Super Bowl run this team is ready to make. I would hope that WW would be smarter than make a deal to sell his team before this season starts. The distractions of something like this would be brutal and take the focus of some of the guys off the field.

unless he sells to the group headed by DeBartolo Jr, who will likely keep the team where it is.
Congratulations to the 2008 WORLD Champions, your Philadelphia Phillies!

I was hoping he would have already offered for the Rams and moved them back to LA just to F with his sister and brother in law in SF.

| | WW should sell a portion of the jags to the people of jax. Other teams have done it and people can buy a share of the team like a stock. I would do anything to help keep the jags and own a small share. |

I don't think this is true at all. If this team stays here for another 5 years, there is nothing but winning in its future in each of those years as this team is built to sustain a long run at things. Also, this fanbase is getting larger each year, and as young people become the age to be able to afford tickets, that will further solidify this team's future here. People overlook the fact that this team selling out its enormous stadium is already a great accomplishment. Ticket prices going up and the sales being ahead of last year support this theory. If this team can get a naming rights that would give them 4 or 5 million per year atleast, that would almost certainly keep this team here for good.Sadly, tradition and fan bases don't account for much any more.........just look at the Sonics. Out of towner comes in and buys the team.......then moves it out of a city where it had tradition and 40 years of history. The NFL has been trying to get a team back in LA for years.......it's going to happen eventually. The thing the Jaguar fans have going for them though is the incompetence of the LA officials. When Houston and LA were bidding for a new expansion franchise, Bob McNair had all his ducks in a row.....even had all the blueprints on a new stadium and the city of Houston behind him. That still was not good enough for Paul Tagliabue, who then called up LA and gave them a time tabel to come up with any legit proposal. When they couldn't, the NFL was FORCED to give Houston the new expansion team. Bob McNair had to pay a record 700 million dollars just to get the team here.

| | But didn't the Sonics have a hard time selling tickets and filling the seats? or am I wrong in that assumption? What I'm trying to say is that in 5 years, this team will have a waiting list, and will even be able to raise tickets a bit more, which will keep this team here if its money Weaver is looking for. |

| The Sonics only had problems because they had one of the smallest arenas in the NBA. The new Owner did a really good job with making sure the team lost and made the games pretty bland. Not to mention he Raised prices and had a great legal team. He basically exploited the city's lease agreement and Lied to all the fans and public.

I am offically a Mike Walker fan. I received my bandwagon tickets after the Houston game. Sorry to everyone I debated with about Walker. He is the real deal. |

I highly doubt C. Dean Metropoulos has any loyalty to Jacksonville or longterm plans of keeping a football team in a small market when he can move to a larger market and make more money. He's a guy that ran some of the largest companies in the world.......he's a business man, not some football guy, who cares about the fans in Jacksonville.

| | Wasn't it shown by Jackhammer that the group named in the article is the group helping the Jags find a naming rights Sponsor? And with this Dean guy denying rumor of trying to buy the team, maybe they are in fact negotiating stadium naming rights, and thats why this group has confirmed the 2 sides are talking. Sounds more like the media jumping to conclusions. They are right about Weaver and this guy talking, they are just wrong about WHAT they are talking about. |
