LMAO the Jags out an asterisk next to patriots 16-0 recod on website

del rio is probably pissed at the dweeb who runs the site and did this.

Haha, the Bengals.com site puts the Browns over the Steelers in the standings even though the Steelers won the division. :lol:

I hate the Patriots more than I ever have. Arrogant douchebags is what they are.

Apparently the * has been there all year with a new quip every week. This according to my buddy who is a Jags fan. So, still funny, but it loses its bite just a bit.

The Patriots are going to MOP THE FLOOR with the Jags on Saturday and any fan who watched the Jags vs Steelers game on Saturday should KNOW this. The Jags were killing Pittsburgh until the Steelers went to the spread formation late in the 3rd quarter, then the Steelers pretty much did what they wanted offensively. The Patriots do this every week right from the begining and have superior personnel when compared to Pittsburgh. The Jags struggled with the Steelers in the spread they will have no chance to stop New Englands. Jacksonvilles only chances are the following:
1. Really, really bad weather where passing is difficult.
2. David Garrard has the game of his life (he'll have to play much better than last week).

I say
Pats 44
Jags 17

Why would the Jags do that before they played the Pats???

Exactly, how is this a good thing? If you had been paying attention the last 8 years you would know that the Pats thrive off of this stuff.

Man It would make my day to see these clowns go out in the first game..

The Patriots won't need this for motivation. If they were that emotional, they wouldn't be where they are right now.

The Jaguars certainly have a spot. The Patriots linebackers need to find the fountain of youth soon.

Re:

That sort of stunt can cost a team employee his job. How stupid are people? Answer--Very. If you're rooting against the Pats, this sort of stupidity is exactly what you don't want to see. But couple this with Paul Spicer's comments, and whether the Patriots want to admit it, or not, they get fired up by this kind of nonsense from other teams. A Florida team is not going to march into Foxboro in January, running team, or not, and beat the Patriots. I'll be surprised if the game is close at the end of the third-quarter. David Garrard is not going to win games for you. He's ideally suited for minimizing mistakes, handing the ball off, and letting the defense win games. It really is Wanny ball in Jax, and that isn't going to vanquish the mighty Patriot at home, and those who think differently are the reason the sports books in Vegas stay in business.

The * has been there all year.

Really. Did not know that. People are just noticing this? I doubt it would matter how long it had been there if the Jags get embarrassed, and a beat reporter, or two, asks a couple questions about whether, or not it fired the Patriots up. The guilty party might quietly disappear from the team payroll.

To me Jacksonville has no real chance of winning they dont score and their defense struggles against spread offense.

Now if the weather is bad and or they can find away to stop NE a few times and posses the football maybe ,maybe but realistically NO

LOL, now that's a statement.

This is probably the only time I will ever root for the Jags (even if they signed ex-UCLA stars Jones-Drew and Lewis). I can put aside my dislike for them (they ruined Dan Marino's last game, an unforgivable crime) just so they can beat the Cheatriots.

I agree with your assessment but I hope we're wrong. I wouldn't touch the JAX/NWE game with a 10 foot pole for betting purposes though.

The sharp money has bounced the line from -11 to -13 or even -13.5 in some places. It might even move to -14 before kickoff. The public, strangely enough, is siding with Jacksonville. Some mischievous activity going on in Vegas indeed.

Not gonna happen with Vic Ketchman. He is THE Jacksonville Jaguars writer. Other guys write about the Jags, but Vic is the only one that matters here. Being that it's been up all year, it has undoubtedly received the okay from team management.

These guys have just given the Pats that little extra they needed, I have a feeling they are going to make gravy of the Jags.

I don't think that a guy popping off is going to have any effect on the game. Yeah, it might not be smart to run your mouth, but I think the better team will win on the field. I like the Jags in a close game.

The Rest of the Story

This folks, is the definition of the media CREATING a story.

Yesterday, the jaguars.com executive committee decided – there was one dissenting vote, of course – that the whole asterisk thing had gone over the top and it was time to halt the insanity. Why? Because the spirit of how it had all begun was being violated.

You know all about the asterisk and my all-important power rankings, which you know to be pure sarcasm, too, so I’ll avoid the tedium of detailed background information. These are the simple facts:

Early in the season – I forget if it was week two or three but it was certainly early in the season – I put the Patriots at the top of my power rankings. They remained there for the rest of the regular season. I also placed next to their name an asterisk that referred to their infamous involvement in the “Spygate” incident.

The asterisk was an attempt at subtle humor. You know that. All of our readers know that and the asterisk was received in the manner in which it was intended for four months of the season, until this week...

I’m still trying to figure out why my all-important power rankings were appearing on ESPN every hour on the hour on Thursday. The way I figure, there had to be a college basketball game somewhere on Wednesday night that had a dunk in it more worthy of showing than my power rankings and their infamous asterisk, but I guess there wasn’t.

Not so quick my sea-loving friend. Patriots MIGHT win, but in those conditions they are looking at, against that VERY agressive fast defense. No way they put up 48

I'm seeing game time at 36 degrees with only a 20% chance for rain. This sucks.
Someone needs to do a rain dance.
