NFL stunner: Jags waive Fournette after failing to trade him
AP ^ | August 31, 2020 | Mark Long

The Jaguars moved another step closer to purging Tom Coughlin's tumultuous tenure in Jacksonville.

The team waived running back Leonard Fournette on Monday, a stunning decision many outsiders view as the latest in a series of head scratchers that could help the franchise tank the season and get the No. 1 draft pick.

“If that’s the case, then the realization is if that happens, then I’m not going to be here," coach Doug Marrone said. "At the end of the day, if I don’t win enough games or do enough with this team, I don’t foresee me still being employed. I’m doing everything I can to make sure we have the best team to make sure we win football games. That’s as simple as I can be on it.”

Terry Kath’s soloing on 25 or 6 to 4 is absolutely amazing. It may the track that caught the ear of a guitarist - IIRC, Hendrix was his name.

There’s a documentary done by Terry Kath’s daughter - really interesting.

It’s somewhere out there in the interwebs but worth the search.

Hey, some of us know how to enjoy ourselves. While others wear panties just to get them in a twist.

It’s called tribal identity. It’s a basic part of human psychology. We use “we” a lot when there really isn’t one, because we feel part of a group. We conservatives. We sci-fi fans. We my favorite sports team. If you’re not using some odd “we”s then you don’t belonging in a group.

Same chord progression as Zep's "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You".

The NFL is nothing but an extention of Antifa-BLM.


It apparently is now, but up until recently the NFL appeared to at least be trying to resist its politicization. But after St. George died from a drug overdose while being arrested, it seems the league has decided to join the party.

It’s an interesting choice. Please its workers—mostly black, or please its customers—mostly white. I believe they’ve chosen poorly, but I guess we’ll see.

I don’t get the NHL’s caving.

Not really a stunner. He’s always injured and no other team wanted to trade for him.

Running backs are a dime a dozen.

Corporate pressure, that’s why. The corporations control sports.

The three times Fournette played against Bama he got 79 yards (2014), 31 yards (2015), and 35 yards (2016).

That's a total of only 145 yards in 3 games. LOL

How about banning Free Speech?

I do not understand people who must comment on NFL threads how they do not watch the NFL.

Yes, you are a much better human being than anyone who would watch sports. Stop virtue signaling. You sound just like a liberal.

At least he had his best season last year. I had him on my fantasy team. Unfortunately for me he didn’t score a lot of touch downs but he always made his projected point total.

Trade him? You mean like they used to do with slaves?

That's right! Every African-American player & coach should quit immediately, in protest! After all, they're just playing "for love of the game"! Every one of 'em could find less demeaning & more profitable employment, by putting their college degrees to work...

I remember Fournette mouthing off before a game with Alabama. That game with Alabama shattered his Heisman prospects.

LSU's Superman, Leonard Fournette Faces His Kryptonite In Alabama One Last Time

"LSU was so predictable on offense last year that Fournette went from averaging 193 yards per game on the season to gaining 31 yards on 19 carries against Alabama -- and 18 of those yards came on one play. At that rate, Fournette would have needed 118 carries vs. Alabama to match his season average."
