Anyone heading to the Lightning game next Tuesday?

Howdy folks. I'm making my pilgrimage to see the Canucks as they come to Florida. Made the trip several times in the past but this time, I secured glass seats. Thing is, gotta bring father in law and brother in law...
Open Letter to Peter King and other National Media (probably see a few more of these from others)

Here's something I wrote to Peter King after yet another back-handed shot at Jacksonville as it relates to the Jaguars and the new owner's commitment to it. Crap is getting old from these hacks.

Word is that the Jacksonville Jaguars have released David Garrard. Saw this on Pro Football Talk and FOX Sports. Trying to think of more words to get this posted so I can hit the 75 word minimum.

Ex Gator Draft Bust Joins Forces with Future Ex Gator Draft Bust

(some sarcasm in this article. Deal with it.)
I just read on profootballtalk.com that Derrick Harvey was signed by the Denver Broncos, where he will join forces with former college teammate and current Broncos fullback quarterback, Tim Tebow.
!
(Not actually Derrick Harvey)
Word has it that several dojos in the greater Denver area are eagerly anticipating Harvey's arrival.

Gabbert's contract and the savvy of the Jaguars management
by Joe Fisher on Jul 28, 2011 9:50 PM EDT
on Big Cat Country
I think we were all excited to hear that Blaine Gabbert signed as did all of our draft picks in the quickest timespan since the inaugural season when all of our picks signed immediately. Probably out of fear of Tom Coughlin. A little look at the numbers tells us a couple of things:
1 - This current CBA-- the players involved really do not give a damn about the rookies. 2 - Every rookie from here out for the next 10 years while in Mobile, AL for the Senior Bowl, needs to find Jamarcus Russell who lives there and spit in his face. He was the straw that broke the camel's back in terms of rookie wages. And we jump...

2011 Forbes Most valuable franchises IN THA WORLD!!!
Our very own Jacksonville Jaguars made the Forbes Top 50 Most valuable franchises in the world list, joining the likes of Manchester United, the New York Yankees, and AC Milan soccer. More valuable than any NBA or NHL franchise. $725 million according to Forbes.
But, if you look at things a little closer, you'll see that the Jaguars are the least valuable franchise in the NF, and THIS is a main reason they're always in the conversation for potential relocation.
Further proof positive that perception is reality.

Jags coaches question NFLCA's brief
What else do you expect them to say? Most of them are on 1 year contracts. I think the NFLCA made a reckless move and really jeopardized a lot of coaches job security. You think these owners got where they were by being a forgiving bunch?

There's something in my DNA that has propelled me to root for teams like Vancouver and Jacksonville. I have lived in Jacksonville, Florida since 1999 and was stationed here in the mid 90s. Did a stint in Seattle in 2007 and just HAD to cross the border to just take a look at the then GM Place.
For the purposes of this, I'll stick with Vancouver. It all started in Great Lakes, Illinois in 1994. And we jump...

Looking at the Jacksonville Jaguars defining moment
by Joe Fisher on May 12, 2011 3:11 PM EDT
on Big Cat Country
via a.espncdn.com
(one of my favorite pictures)ESPN is currently running a series on each NFL team's "defining moment" in franchise history. I saw this from the folks at Arrowhead Pride and figured what the hell, we're all old enough to have seen the Jaguars since inception, so no real need to break out the history books or Lost Treasures of the NFL.
And we jump....
Editorial on jaguars.com
Here is an editorial as submitted by Tony Boselli on jaguars.com today. He's a very passionate and persuasive guy as Commissioner of Team Teal. My personal opinion, but one thing keeping people from plunking down, say, $1000 on tickets ($100 a game) is that there is a) no guarantee of when the season will start and b) if games are missed no guarantee of when the money will be given back to the ticket holder, with interest as promised by Wayne Weaver.
A classic case of do I want $1000 now or possibly $1050 at a future date to be determined.
My recommendation? The Jaguars should extend the season ticket renewal deadline to June 1 (no idea why they're even talking deadline when there are so many unsold seats for 2011) and Wayne Weaver should knock $1 off the price of beer as a goodwill gesture to the fans. I also had an idea similar to the Gator Bowl patches where season ticket holders could get a fastpass type service at the major concession stands in the concourses where by virtue of wearing their season ticket holder patches on a lanyard they could get express line service and not have to wait in the regular lines for their nachos, beer, etc.
What do you guys think is the reason for the lull in ticket sales? Economy? Lockout? Poor finish? Broken promise by Weaver to fire JDR? Same QB and Coach?
I'm intrigued to see what everyone thinks.

Every Great Play has a Name...
Every great play has a name attached to it. There's the Immaculate Reception, Ghost to the Post, Holy Roller, Big Bend, Sea of Hands, Home Run Throwback, well, the guys at Battle Red Blog are ahead of us.
They have dubbed the play as "The Q Tip."
While it kind of ignores Mike Thomas' role in the catch or Garrard's throw, this name is pretty damn cool as once again the Texans hand us the victory.
Apparently the play is called 'Rebound" in the Jags playbook.
Any other ideas?

Why do we always play the _________ (fill in former good player here) got waived/cut, would he be a good fit here?
Everytime a player of notoriety is cut/waived/ announced as being on the trade block, we stumble all over ourselves hypothesizing whether he would come here. This time of year, there's typically a good reason that said former great is on the street.
Let's take a look at the two from this week:
Who is Todd Bouman?
Saw this on the Arrowhead Pride website from a poster Craig in Calgary.
Hell, we could use a laugh.

Tony Romo's broken clavicle changes things
by Joe Fisher on Oct 25, 2010 10:25 PM EDT
on Big Cat Country
As those of you trying to get past the awful commentarry of Gruden have seen, Tony Romo broke his left collarbone. Combine this with the fact that Jerry Jones loves his libations, if I were GM Gene, I'd place a call to the stadium right now and offer up David Garrard for Sean Lee straight up. Catch a guy drunk and somber and you never know...
you guys see this from Vito Stellino's article today
by Joe Fisher on Oct 24, 2010 10:03 AM EDT

But the larger question may be whether Matt Cassel, who isn't an elite quarterback, can be the latest quarterback to torch the Jaguars' secondary. With Derek Cox apparently returning to the lineup, the Jaguars are likely to start their fifth secondary combination in seven games and cornerback Rashean Mathis suggests there has been too much shuffling.
Mathis said injuries are part of it, but added, "Some of the other stuff that happens like Jack [Del Rio] getting mad at Derek Cox, for example, at some point do you say, 'You know what, we've got enough going on around here, calm down.' I think reality has to set in on the coaches and [they have to] understand what is going through as a team in certain spots and be like, OK, whether it's backing off a certain guy or allowing us to keep plugging and playing football and keep a consistent rotation in, or however it might be, I think it's an awareness factor on the coach."
Mathis said the secondary needs to play well today so, "We can drive that point in his head that this group works. You don't have to make any more changes."

Finally coming around...

From Ask Vic today:
Scott from Honolulu, HI
I am a very proud father-in-law today, Vic. Today, you answered a post by my son-in-law. The great part is that although he’s a big Jags fan, up until a few weeks ago, when I told him about it, he had never heard of “Ask Vic.” Now he reads it every day and he’s asking questions. He’s young and has much to learn about the game (like who Jim Brown is; not kidding), but I know if he keeps reading you he’ll learn a lot.Vic: The Jaguars have become the team of the Hawaiian Islands. We even had a news crew from Honolulu here this week to do a story on Tyson Alualu and Vince Manuwai. Send the Jaguars all the players you have over there because they can play and they’re good guys, too. Find me another Vince Manuwai. I love that guy.
I immediately reflected on my interview on Comcast Sports South where I stated that the pickup of Alualu was great because what Jacksonville needs is more Hawaiians. I've noticed quite a few more leis in the crowd. No poi or SPAM in the tailgating area however.
Response to John Clayton's list
by Joe Fisher on Aug 31, 2010 12:44 PM EDT
on Big Cat Country
John Clayton throws around the “elite” label way too much, but then again, our world is one of hyperbole and lists.
When it comes to elite quarterbacks, I can only think of maybe 5 or 6. My definition of elite is once you get there, you don’t lose that label unless you putz around for 5 years and go Steve Blass.
I'll get to my list after I get some wetnaps as I have pizza grease on my keyboard
