Letter to the Fans - Big Cat Country
Okay, so maybe this letter is not for all Jaguar fans; however, it is for those of you who will be at the game on Sunday and happen to share a love for both Tim Tebow and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
BREAKING NEWS: "No." - Big Cat Country
You might be serious Don, but that doesn't make you any less wrong. It's very likely the following two home games will be sold out against the Eagles and Colts. I guess the No. 2/3 quarterback in Denver sold those out too, by proxy. Not the mention the half pack of tickets including Sunday's game was outsold by over a 2 to 1 clip. I guess actually calling the ticket office or the Jacksonville Jaguars public relations staff is just too hard for you.

Does football get any better in 2010? | National Football Post
From Thursday evening through next Monday night, the football buffet is overflowing and I for one believe the games have never been stronger. One of the real keys to the exploding popularity of football in general over the past two decades has been the education of the fans in the finer points of the game. The more fans know, the more they expect and those expectations have driven those in charge of college football and the NFL to keep the game evolving and on the cutting edge of technology.

Thanks John.
Interesting posts from the Jags site.
I think what both the guys are missing is this: Many people coming this weekend are TEBOW fans, or UF fans…..not Jags fans per se.
The Broncos are already seeing an over flow effect where Tebow and UF fans are becoming Denver fans. The Jags have the same opportunity. Put on a good product and win some new supporters.

This is very true boydy and I believe they will do everything they can to win this game...
Just to show the world that they are legit. The Broncos better be read for a tough, physical game with a lot of runs down their throats and out on the edges. D J will be busy most of the day and could come up with some great plays if he plays smart. I believe we can win this game if we don’t make any mistakes on offense and give them a big play and momentum…

Extending Champ makes me uncomfortable. I can see him being an above-average player for four more years, and the move would eliminate a draft need. But the team will be locking a lot of money up in 30-something CBs.

Get over the age thing man. Its an unproven, and frankly, inaccurate thing.
You, my friend, are proof you dont need to have big floppy feet and a red nose to be a clown!

Harv Neptune.
You don't see big picture.
He can take over for Dawkins at safety.
As you get older you lose your speed and safeties have luxury of not having to be as fast. So he’ll be a premier safety. Look at Dawkins.
So 1-2 more years at CB then safety.
Why does Madden suck at ranking the Broncos so much?
That’s a great theory. Has it ever worked well for anybody other than Rod Woodson? It really is a tantalizing thought.
Tyrone Braxton comes to mind.....
he started out at corner and then went to safety. Helped get some SB wins too and picked off Favre in the first one.
fader nation is a conquered nation
Jerry Jones is Al Davis with a smile!
CHICAGO...Where Quaterbacks' careers go to die!
I totally forgot about Chicken Legs. Good call. Can anybody think of other players approaching Champ’s caliber?
Champ is a hall of famer. You don’t give up on them at age 32. Elite DBs are worth gold and you don’t get rid of them just to save a few bucks. I expect that his extension will be in the 10M/yr range. If it is 14M+ then it is probably too much.
But if there is a drop off in his play, we can always cut him. I don’t think there will be though.
Troy Vincent
was a Pro Bowl CB who converted to free safety.

It'd be nice for Champ
if he can stick around long enough for McD to build a SuperBowl team. You know how those rings help cement Hall inductions…
So I see you rolled your way into the semis?

I was in Washington at the end of Green’s career. Did he finish at safety? I don’t think so.
Otherwise, it’s one thing to want Champ to have that kind of longevity. It’s another to pay him as if it’s a given.
I think you're making a good point
I just feel personally that there’s not much risk where Bailey is concerned.

I just saw a picture of Tom Brady
Does he really walk around in public with that ridiculous glam-boy/fauxhawk thing? What is that?
LOL...my guess is his wife Gisele has something to do with that ;)

Thanks for the tracks!
Glad we can relax about our LT now….
I think we may have all 6 WR active Sunday….that’s a pretty juicy secondary, and it would be good for Thomas to get some playing time.
Sign Champ! He’s the heart and soul of this team.

SBNation’s advertising is really making this blog look like crap. I realize it is probably necessary but good lord
lol
yeah, its a necessary evil.
But I could care less what the blog looks like, its the bloggers on this site that makes it special!

To me, it is a necessary evil in trade for the platform. Not having to worry about any technical issues or design allows me to focus on content…. We all win!

Can you ask them to
put an “Edit” button in for the bloggers???
A lot of time I post something, and then realize i made a Typo…. or had some extra words in there I didn’t need.
I know I could fix that myself by using the preview button, reviewing it and then posting it… but to be quite honest I, like most bloggers, are just too lazy to do that on a comment section, but would definitely use an edit button!

oh
I see, you’re referring to editing actual comments. : D
I’d like one, too. Unfortunately, that would allow people to go in and rewrite thread history. I’m guessing that’s why you can’t edit comments.

This is completely unrelated...
But remember when Elway was talking about assuming a more prominent role with the team? (on the managerial side)…has that happened yet?

Haven't heard anything
Just doing some promotional stuff with the trip to London and such. Sounds like informally he’s been giving advice to Tebow, which can only be a good thing.

Bills sign former Bronco LB Akin Ayodele
(well, briefly a Bronco this summer anyway). Probably to help them scout Miami!
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
This is great news about Champ!
Being one of our silent leaders he methodically puts together a game plan week end and week out shutting down some the best receivers in the NFL…No TD’s were score on him last year and he cerntainly looks like he hasn’t missed a beat. Go get ’em Champ!
I donated $20.00 to support Mrs. Guru.
That’s $1.00 for each game the Broncos will win this year. Of course, since the Broncos WON’T be the wildcard team, that extra buck is for the preseason win. :-)
well played!
