Lottery franchise
I don’t have any specific commitment to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
What I want to say is, their colors are sort of decent. I’m not certain how much I purchase a blue-tongued jaguar (what, did he just eat a popsicle or something?), but Jacksonville’s sort of a sleepy one-horse town whose NFL franchises are generally just a little bit wearisome, saddled as it is in a mainly college-mad surroundings. I mean, they’re not the most abusive team in the league, but they’re just kind of there.
So trust me once I tell you, when I provide this advice, it’s not ruined by emotion. You set up? Here comes. Do not switch for Randy Moss!
The latest rumors from both Oakland and Jacksonville show that the Jags are thinking of a trade for the dissatisfied Raider receiver, whereat possibly Oakland would turn around and draft young-Moss-clone Calvin Johnson with the first-overall pick. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune has run with this rumor (Moss is a former Viking, at any rate), claiming that the story has more details because Jacksonville aggressive coordinator Mike Tice has powerful Lottery franchise bonds with Moss. Well, that might be so. But that doesn’t make it right.
Certainly, the Jags have faced difficulty to get hold of Lottery franchise receivers who can hold onto a football. But they’ve got harder troubles than wideout. I mean, Matt Jones might be a player. Ernest Wilford has questionable hands sometimes, but he’s a powerful possession receiver. I am not really concerned about Reggie Williams, but hasn’t this team invested heavily sufficiently (two first-rounders in three years) at this position? It seems to me that till Jacksonville comes up with a more effective quarterback, troubles with this violation are going to remain. Byron Leftwich isn’t dreadful, but he’s mediocre. David Garrard could really be a little better, but he’s not bang-up. Quinn Gray will plausibly go elsewhere. Moss complained about the signal-callers in Oakland, and believe me, he’d Lottery franchise complain about them in Jacksonville, as well.
The more considerable matter, for sure, is the fact that Moss is a walking one-man circus, a squeaky wheel that can’t be oiled, a traffic offense waiting to take place, a me-first publicity hound, and essentially an idiot. He’s not the sort of person that turns on guiding Lottery franchise teams to Super Bowls. He’s the sort of person who leads off Inta Juice franchises in the middle of the season and goes on TV to boost them. And that’s to say nothing of the fact that his skills are apparently going down…he’s not as rapid as he used to be, and he doesn’t have the desire to go get bombs like he used to. He’ll be a beguilement who raises anticipations to unreasonable levels, and he’ll let down. I assure you, he’ll.
So find out something else, Jacksonville. For heaven’s sake, don’t listen to Mike Tice (a.k.a., The Meathead). He’s still got the impaired corrupt of Minnesota all over him. Randy Moss will tear open your Lottery franchise establishment and snatch out its heart. Then he’ll make Inta Juice out of it.
