I don’t believe Shad Kahn is in this game to field a losing team, either on the field or at the bank!

I find it interesting he owns the Fulham FC soccer team, he agreed to have the Jags play a game in London four consecutive seasons beginning last year and Roger Goodell has stated he eventually would like to establish a franchise there. And then again, it could be my tin foil hat is on too tight :-)

Within reason, Jacksonville needs to do what it can to keep the Jags here.

Agreed. However, the truth of the matter is Jacksonville is a college football town. If you asked the average football fan around here to choose between attending a Gator, Seminole or Bulldog game or a Jaguar game, the Jags would come in 2nd.

AFL, NFL, EFL (European Football League), CFL ??????????

An International Professional football league with a playoff?

That may be the long-range thinking.

Well, you are right — college teams in the “Gator Bowl” (I’ve been in Jax too long to routinely call it Everbank Field!) usually fill it up, while Jags have a problem selling seats every year.
