Jag Hags: These Colors Don't Run
From that coruscating beacon of journalism, First Coast News:
The Jacksonville Jaguars are gearing up for Monday Night Football. The Big Cats take on the defending Super Bowl Champions, the Pittsburgh Steelers tonight. The Steelers and their fans have the "Terrible Towels." The Jags have their teal! Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton has proclaimed Monday, September 18th, as All-Teal Day. He wants everyone to wear teal to work and school. At the game, he's hoping to see a sea of teal as Alltel Stadium becomes All-Teal Stadium...
The game starts at 8:30 p.m. But the fun will start much earlier. Many fans plan to tailgate and get pumped up for the big game.
Holy shit, tailgating? Fuck, we didn't think they'd have their football fandom down yet after 11 years, but hell, there you go. How many fans? Many? That's like, more than five, right? Oh right, that's lazy journalism jargon for "probably a lot but we can't check." How many Steelers fans will be in the crowd to ruin the teal motif? My guess is many. Say, how'd that teal thing work for Nick Saban last week? Oh no, don't bother checking. I'm sure you have some lost dog story you're leading with for 7 p.m. broadcast.
The Big Cats? This is the endearing name by which the Jacksonian Football Enthusiasts embrace their team? Dan Shanoff is crying all over his two word sentences. Crying. Jags.

All Hail Mayor Michael Scott
When's Diversity Day?
That guy looks like the bastard offspring of Papa Smurf and Wendy O. Williams.
A) I've lived in Jacksonville. Trust me, rescind your request to be mayor before they take you up on it.
B) "Crying. Jags." Nice.
Wouldn't those be two one-word sentences?
I think the Andres Galarraga's are going to win this one.
*furiously searching dresser drawers to find teal Champion sweatshirt*
A sea of Teal? WTF will that prove? Fuckwits on parade is all it would prove from where I sit..which is in Cali and god knows the candy-ass residents do love their pastels here in the state of fruits and nuts.
aren't all seas kinda teal?
Let me get this straight...You go to the stadium beforehand, cook stuff, drink beer, and throw a football around? Tailgating? Sounds fucking awesome...I'm in.
Poor, much-maligned Marion Barry. He's in big trouble with Fenty being elected. No loved lost between those two.
From what I heard the Miami Heat fans dyed all their white playoff shirts to teal and made a killing at the fleamarket this past Sunday in the Alltel parking lot.
Hill-jacks.
Chris Simms just announced he wanted to be traded to Jacksonville so that his new teal butterfly tatoo on his lower back will match his uniform.
the jags fans (jag-offs?) aren't impressing anyone until there's a real jaguar in the stadium. and even then it won't matter because joey porter will kill it on site, and then wear its pelt as a cape. GET ON HIS LEVEL.
"Polkatarded." Perfect.
And yeah, you don't want to be mayor there. I once spent a month in Jacksonville one weekend. You'd die of boredom. Very tacky boredom.
Hw did that piece of shit town ever get a franchise in the first place? Did Tagliabue have a mistress stashed down there and he needed an excuse to visit every other week?
Now I understand. The only reason that Jacksonville has a team is because neither Miami nor Atlanta wanted those fucktards road-tripping to their home games any more.
Do keep in mind this is the team that gave Mark Brunell a longer lease on his career than he deserved to begin with. The Redskins only compounded an earlier mistake.
I take it you guys have never been to Jacksonville during the weekend of the Georgia-Florida game. A seemingly infinite number of drunk, horny, beautiful, but not so bright, women making themselves available all weekend.
Yes, Kornheiser, everyone knows you have Matt Jones on your fantasy team now.
I once spent a month in Jacksonville one weekend.
How the fuck did you pull that off?
As for the world's largest cocktail party, the only reason that is worthwhile is all the young skeezers that are imported from UGA and UF for the weekend. It is fucking great, though.
How the fuck did you pull that off?
Through the magic of hyperbole, my friend.
Nice work, Otto Man.
Thanks, CC. Just trying to contribute. I'm all about the team.
