Worst excuse for NFL fans ever.
Edited on Thu Sep-15-11 03:25 PM by KamaAina
And possibly in any sport save for European football (soccer), where actual deaths have occurred.

No, not the Eagles. Not the Niners, not even after those thugs put the "battle" back into the "Battle of the Bay". Not even the Cowpies and Mr. "God made me Taser those Jets fans."

Give up? You'll never guess (unless I give you 32 guesses, that is).

It's the Jags.

Yes, the Jags. Actually the newsworthy item here is that they actually have fans.

http://outkickthecoverage.com/jaguars-fans-celebrate-home-opener-vs-titans-with-steve-mcnair-skeleton.php

Two days ago the Titans opened the season at division rival Jacksonville. The game was a far cry from the AFC championship game in 2000. Two mediocre football teams battled in the Florida sun for three hours before the game came to a merciful 16-14 end. The Jaguars triumphed on the field, but they didn't triumph in the pregame tailgate.

That's because some Jaguar fans set up a skeleton at a tailgate wearing a bloody and torn Steve McNair jersey.

The picture, which arrives via email from a reputable source, included these details: "A very close friend who lives in Jacksonville that is a big Jaguars fan took the photo Sunday before the game. He asked me who #9 belonged to. When I replied he apologized for the classless Jag fans." ...

The little things such as: what will become of the 46 Jacksonville Jaguar fans when the franchise relocates to Los Angeles?




Note the U.S. flag in the background, after all, it was Nineleven(TM). :eyes:

7. They sure must look tempting to L.A.
but then SoCal would have two AFC teams. I wonder if there's a way to make one switch, like the Brewers did (and the Astros may be next).

8. So you're going after the team's fans because of an individual.
Edited on Thu Sep-15-11 08:01 PM by HuckleB
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
