Florida Primary 2008: Undecided

January 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

Anyway, because I am undecided, I’m trying to look a little deeper than the surface issues because, frankly, what I’m finding [...]

January 18th, 2008 · No Comments

Will there be indictments for Jacksonville City Council members?

January 17th, 2008 · No Comments

Guess we have to wait for the Florida Times-Union to report tomorrow on the Grand Jury’s presentment involving Sunshine Law violations by Jacksonville City Council members.
Way to embrace the internet age, FTU.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New England Patriots: An Analysis

January 11th, 2008 · 3 Comments

So, I was trying to handicap the Pats - Jags game for some theoretical wagers with monopoly money. I was thinking that the lines were giving the Jags too much credit (sorry, I’m a fan too, but come on…) at +13. They’re just too weak in the secondary, and Brady is too dominant. Take Moss [...]

Bubba the Love Sponge coming to Jacksonville

January 7th, 2008 · No Comments

Last month, the powers that be at Rock 105 in Jacksonville saw fit to fire Mark, Genny, and Dahmer just weeks before Christmas, to make room for Bubba the Love Sponge.
Merry Christmas.
Now, I wasn’t a huge fan of MGD mostly because their idea of entertainment was to have stupid contests every. single. day. But, is [...]

January 4th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Sports fans in Jacksonville have gone beyond being all atwitter over the Jaguars and their playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, coming dangerously close to making the classic mistake of looking ahead.
Stop that!
