Yes, I believe you. Any team that can’t sell out a stadium deserves a football team. Ever think it’s so damn hot in JAX that people don’t want to leave their house in mid-afternoon?

You want to see nuclear winter, try Buffalo or Pittsburgh during a game. Cities damn near shut down.

FF -- You're definitely on to something...chicks dig scars, not 80's boy-band posters, even if displayed for comedic purposes.

Also, go easy on Brunell. There is a soft spot in my heart for him, as a fellow Pac-10 alumna, and a Jacksonville resident during the Jaguars first season. He has miles of heart. He knows he's only got a few more good years left, and as a former Rose Bowl and Pro Bowl QB, he's probably damn near starving to finish his career with a super bowl win (a la John Elway). He's a gamer now and knows he doesn't have many more years to make it happen. Hopefully that will infuse the whole team with a sense of urgency and purpose this year. Except when they play the Eagles, of course.

As a side note...there has never been a town more in need of, and desperate for, a football franchise than Jacksonville. I went on a beer run at half-time during that first game, and there was not a single other car on the road. Not even an old person in a Lincoln. Everyone was glued to their TV's. It was nuclear winter surreal.

Also, hold your fire for the Brunell/Elway comparison. It was for illustrative purposes only. I get that Elway is a football god. I'm just saying they both had high career expectations, came close a few times, and were hungry to go out with The Big Win. You know what I mean.

YES, a Matt Christopher reference, by far the greatest human ever, i also bet he was a great child molester, since he used sports books instead of candy. Great for the 8-10 ten year old demographic.

Papa John is your official Redskins Pizza Daddy. It’s really all about the Armand’s baby. It ain’t late night, but it’s right. Those tricks in Friendship fooled me last time I was home. Why do people eat at Quizknowz again?

Late night tight, despite the ‘rhea:
D(ouble)P(enetration) Dough. Proper. Beats M&O’s sausage rope sub.

UM, let’s be honest. Philly pizza co. is a sorry excuse for Jumbo Slice. And there is nothing like scarffing down a piece of Jumbo Slice while taking a drunken $30 cab ride home.

in addition i just reread The Kid Who Only Hit Homers…so i’m loaded with literary bullets.

although the kid was probably Jason Grimsley’s best customer.
