Just moved recently and I want a Jacksonville Jaguar mailbox.  All I can find online is the helmet ones.  I have no interest in those.  I live in the flat lands of the midwest so I will need to order online.  Can anyone point me in the direction to find a mailbox? 

Thanks in advance

ps. If this is not the right place to post something like this can the mods please get rid of this post.

My father played football with the number 11 and then his brother who was four years younger wore the number and then the youngest brother (4 years younger) wore the #11. So number 11 has always been special in our family.  My son who will be 11 this year in the year of 2011 was born on the 11th month (Nov) on the 11th day.  So to say 11 is special to me is a understament.  This year I thought the 2011 draft would be the changing point for the Jags.  Who did they draft?  A player who some think will be the franchise player and what number did he wear in college?  ELEVEN!  If only we could have got him at pick 11.  I hope he wears 11 for the Jags.

Before I ask my questions I will explain a little first.  I am a Midwest fan who was able to attend Sunday’s game (I didn’t appreciate the Midwest weather by the way).  Garrard’s passes seem to float and didn’t have the zip I was use to so I thought something was up.  Garrard is an above average QB and if you look at stats he is a good NFL QB, but his problem is always inconsistency.  You just never know what Garrard will show up on Sunday and especially important games.  So on to my questions.

1.       Why would you get season ending surgery if your team is in the hunt?  He obviously is able to play and could be a team player and could be used if Edwards goes down.

2.       If you still can play why get surgery now instead of waiting till Monday?

3.       If he was going to be benched like some believe why not say he out on injury, but will get the surgery after the season?

4.       If it is so bad to get surgery now why wasn’t it bad enough to pull himself during the game when it was bothering him?

5.       Why do surgery and take yourself out of preparing Edwards for Sunday?  He does want the Jags to win, right?

I guess I cannot get thru my thick skull how one can play a game injured and then the next week is a possible do or die situation and possible road to the super bowl and you elect to take yourself out for the reminder of it.  I guess I am ready to climb aboard the get rid of Garrard band wagon unless it is explained to me better.

This sucks I was hoping to have Sharper this year.

NEW ORLEANS (AP)—Darren Sharper(notes) is returning to the New Orleans Saints for at least one more year.

His agent, Joel Segal, says Sharper has agreed to the deal.

Sharper, an All-Pro safety, helped the Saints win their first Super Bowl last season.

(So I need to add some to this post to get published)

While I think we should have picked up Dan LaFeovour or Tony Pike here are some things I have found on Karim.

The numbers in parenthesis represent his ranking among all running backs at the combine. Where he would have been ranked, had he been invited.

40 YD Dash: 4.37 (2nd)
Vertical Jump: 43" (1st)
Broad Jump: 10'3" (3rd)
20 YD Shuttle: 4.05 (1st)
3-Cone: 6.67 (1st)
Bench Press: 19 (6th)

I hear about how awful the attendance is every year and I hear people talking about the Jags being moved and I started looking for hard numbers.  I found this web site http://espn.go.com/nfl/attendance?year=2008  In 2008 we ranked 19th out of 32, in 07 we were 22 out of 32, and 06 19 out of 32. 

I did watch Sunday’s game and they showed a blimp view and the attendance looked horrible, but I have to wonder if this is just a movement of the media to get a team to LA and the Jags look like the easiest target.

Can someone explaine why we have Eugene Monroe at tackle and Tra Thomas on the bench?  It seems to me that Eugene will be good some day, but today we have Tra on the bench.  Lets win today and mold Monroe for tomorrow.

Okay so now I have to ramble on so I can post this.  To me it appears that Monroe is getting beat to often.  Since we have Tra why don't we use him?

Things are really shaping up to be a good year of football.  First John Madden retired from broadcasting.  While I respect what the man has done for football, I often watched the games he called on mute.  He was always saying things like “he would still be running if they hadn’t tackled him” or would be drawing all over the screen. 

Now today Tony Kornheiser has announced he is not going to be on Monday night football, can things get any better?  His replacement is Jon Gruden who I actually enjoyed during the draft on the NFL channel.

I live in Big 12 country so I got to see a lot of Crabtree.  The Monday after the draft most of my co-workers that talk football were amazed that the Jags didn’t select Crabtree.  I was excited that Monroe dropped to the Jags, but I wondered what could have been.  That was until I watch path to the draft the other night on the NFL channel.  It followed Michael Crabtree, Matthew Stafford, and Brain Cushings.  Cushings was amazing to watch preparing for the combine and then not being satisfied so working even harder for his pro day.  Stafford was shown being bounced around from interviews to appearances to getting prepared and then on to his pro day.  Crabtree was shown test driving a Mercedes, then hearing about his injury, then after getting his boot off looking at multi-million dollar apartments (so he would have a place to go when he went back to Dallas), and then on draft day putting on his custom made suit with his name and number embroider inside.

I couldn’t have been happier after watching that, that the Jags didn’t select $$$Crabtree$$$, but I am now worried that the Texans picked up a guy like Cushings.

WOW, can't believe that it took this long but Burress has been released.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AqKg.1ndS84X08FLmakLkbA5nYcB?slug=ap-giants-burress&prov=ap&type=lgns

 Burress’ status had been uncertain since he shot himself on Nov. 29 with an unlicensed gun he’d stuffed into his waistband and carried into the Latin Quarter nightclub in Manhattan. He faces a felony weapons charge that could put him in prison for at least 3 1/2 years if convicted.

NFL channel is reporting that Anquan Boldin told a Miami area news agency that he wouldn’t mind going to the Dolphins because he is a Floridian at heart and wouldn’t mind going back to his home state.  I say that the Jags should pull the trigger and go after him.  He is a proven receiver who is a work horse.  I think he is worth giving up some picks and some money.  Go get him Jags!  What  do you all think?
