Gone!

The litany of the departed is a grave reminder to all who would go out to Jacksonville Jaguars games this year.

On one hand, there is the fact that they slink off like thieves in the night to Montreal, Canada. MONTREAL! What is in Montreal other than smoked meat? Surely not the passion for football that brought a squad out to Jacksonville all those years ago.

But if you’re of a mind to keep to the team for nostalgia’s sake or a last gasp at cheering for those scoundrels, remember these names:

Marcus Stroud. John Henderson. Rashean Mathis. David Garrard. Maurice Jones-Drew. Matt Jones. Those that remain will likely be on the bench, since L. Johnny and G. M. Collins seem to have some agenda against the incumbents.

In are Shawntae Spencer, Joey Harrington, Kevin Jones, Mike Furrey and a slew of who-deys that defy logic. Two defensive tackles were drafted early this year. For what?! Those picks could have been used to turn the team into a superbowl contender and the Jaguars could have kept Stroud and Henderson. But no, rebuilding is what G. M. Collins does best and draft picks were on the menu.

So, when you decide whether or not to head out with your teal and black to support the local team, remember what Collins and Johnny did to this team. Remember the heart and the soul that is no longer here. And spend your money on something more deserving.

Madden 2008 is a go!

L. Johnny and his traditional counterpart Woods E. Jones have decided to buy franchises in the NFL. The franchises they received were the L. Johnny's Jacksonville Jaguars and Woods E.'s Detroit Lions. If, as expected, L. Johnny brings in G. M. Collins as his General Manager, sweeping changes could be in the works. Especially since the new owner cannot stand the team. Look for a new Los Angeles or Canadian team in the near, near future.
