NFL '09 season discussion

I'm excited for MNF when the Packers visit the Vikings in the dome. It won't be near as exciting as the game in Lambeau though.

It is going to be exciting watching the Packers pick apart the Vikings secondary.

And it will be exciting to see AP running all over the entire Packers team.

More than likely. This is the most depressing shit I have to continually read.

Weaver: Jaguars might play a game a year in Orlando: Declaring that Jacksonville can't be a viable NFL city selling 46,000 tickets a game, Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver said Wednesday that the team might start playing a regular-season game in Orlando each year if the league expands the regular season to 17 or 18 games.

Ouch. It sucks to be surrounded by a bunch of arrogant idiots in Jacksonville. Nobody seems to be able to afford tickets, and they can't afford tickets because they don't have a good job, and they don't have a good job because they don't have a good education, and they don't have a good education because our schools are horrible, and our schools are horrible because the leadership in this state is corrupt, and the corruption continues because the state is run by Republicans, which is how i've come to the conclusion to blame Jaguars ticket sales on Republicans, as a whole.

Republicans are to blame for everything.

That does really suck, though, that you can't even watch home games because they're blacked out. I remember living in Arizona back when the Cardinals were shitty and most of the games were blacked out; it sucked. I don't feel like they should black out ANY games just because there are 200 or so emtpy seats. Seems unfair.. but I guess that's business for ya.

Support a real team.

I am supporting a real team, jackass. Things will get better. The fans around this area are very bandwagon-esque. When the Jags went through the playoffs back in the day, everyone was a fan.

I'm really looking forward to week 4. I wish we would've started a Zelaron fantasy league.

That sucks. It sucks because there are obviously die hard fans down there, but there are mostly fair weather fans, and it's affecting people like you. I'd kill something if that ever happened in Philly. Then again, that will never happen, not in my lifetime at least. I've been on the waiting list for season tickets for over 9 years now, and when I checked my status prior to this season, I was still over 30,000 in line.. I STARTED around 60,000 9 YEARS ago.... WTF?

That seems like an intelligent way to gain fans, by not airing the game locally. Good marketing strategy

Must be the republicans

Yes, greed does play a role in this decision. They say it helps drive ticket sales, but if people aren't watching the game in the stands or on the TV then general interst of the team could diminish. All the Jaguars have to do is start winning and issues like this will dissolve. The problem is they lost over 22,000 Season ticket holders over the offseason, which is a terrible number. Everyone blames the "economy"

Maybe if they had a better team...
