Quote:I guess I'm the only one who finds it strange that Khan has been presented with countless opportunities to just say "I'm not moving" but instead opts to wiggle and dance around the question whenever its brought up.His actions say he is totally committed to Jax:
Please go on and on and tell me how he's going to spend 30 million dollars on stadium renovations and how that shows his commitment to this city. (He probably spends more than that in charity donations a year)
"We're going to try to make it work in Jacksonville" and "Actions speak louder than words" is his response when asked a simple question. Or you could have just said "NO, its not even an option" like Weaver did. I think that would speak much much louder than a few dollars being spent by a BILLIONAIRE.

I could go on all night cutting and pasting positive virtues.
He not only strives to bring a super bowl to Jacksonville, he is investing in the city, he is a big proponent of the One Spark festival.
Khan spends countless hours promoting chamber events while utilizing the Jags as a nuclear PR machine.
Your proof he is moving is that he spent $30 million?!?!?!?!? You are asinine . That is not logical on any level. He did not become a billionaire by tossing
around millions without extreme purpose.
You claim he donates more than $30 million per year? Where are your sources or are you in a continous state of rectal defilade? Which I suspect you are.
You are right in one instance - Actions do speak louder than words and all Khan has done is make moves and decisions to strengthen our franchise.
Not once has Shahid Khan failed to follow through with what he has said he will do. Show me ONE lie he has told.
Show me ONE lie he has told....Show me ONE lie he has told.....show me ONE lie he has told...
Knarnn you are a coward for printing cryptic quotes and not taking credit for them. Now you are also an unintelligent debater as you brought nothing to this argument.

PS I'm still waiting to hear what "All in" means! :whistling:
Quote:Did you even read the links you posted?Bringing business to Jax? Sounds fantastic!
Every bit of "proof" you provided has nothing to do with the Jaguars and more to do with business moves and investments. The Laura street trio? Business. "Interest" in the shipyards? Business. "Bringing business to Jacksonville?"...really? This is all about expanding his portfolio and fattening his wallet. Want to know something funny? Khan recently acquired land in cottage craven too (where Fullam plays). What does that mean? Absolutely nothing.
He gave 11 million cold hard cash to his alum, University to Illinois just over a year ago. Have you ever heard of the Jaguars Foundation. I wonder who writes the checks for them to give out to the community? Not to mention the other sponsorships and scholarships he gives away on a regular basis.
How about this for proof. Find me a direct quote from Khan saying the Jags aren't going anywhere. I dare you.
Quote:I don't need or want to know who said that, but that man is a genius.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhMuGPMzvS8
Quote:Bringing business to Jax? Sounds fantastic!Nice try dodging the point.
$11 million donation to University of Illinois? Nothing wrong with that.
Outreach and scholarships for our community via Jaguar Foundation? Wow, this guy sounds like a real scumbag.
All you have done here is bolster my point of view. At least you responded with substance and not conjecture this time. Maybe there is hope for you.
Thank you for seeing the positive side of Mr. Khan, and yes , I hope business men like this fatten their wallets as much as possible.
Quote:Nice try dodging the point.LOL.... you are funny.
What does Khan expanding his portfolio and fattening his wallet have to do with the Jaguars? Not a damned thing. You've proved nothing at all other than Khan is a shrewd business man and will go to no lengths to continue to bring in the biggest bucks, including relocation if the money is right.
Did you find that quote I asked for yet? I'm still waiting :whistling:
Here's a tip, next time you post links to support your rebuttal try to actually read the article you post.
Quote:And I don't see why we are the only ones to see it. He gives a non-answer that can be interpreted to mean anything anyone wants it to and the kool-aid drinkers take it as gospel.You'll never hear it. He'll move the team in a heartbeat when the time is right to cash in. There's only one reason to be that non-committal.
I'll keep waiting for that direct quote but I have a feeling it may be a while.
Quote:Did I find a quote? Of course you didn't, there isn't such a quote to be found. That's the point!!!Fancy red font. Cool.
I do not owe you a quote. I realize that if we do not support our team and meet Mr. Khan's expectations as a city and fan base we risk losing our beloved Jags. He does not need to make any such statements nor do any of the other 31 owners have to. Earning respect isn't just about doing the things you have to, it's about doing the things you don't have to.
I also realize that if we do support our team and do the right things like he and Roger Goodell praised us for Don't forget to fetch his slippers and wag your tail.
doing during the London trip , that we will keep our franchise.
***Shahid Khan held his first press conference as the owner of theJacksonville Jaguars after being unanimously approved to take ownership of the team. "I just want to share with you, I'm totally committed to Jacksonville," Do you understand the difference between
empty rhetoric "totally committed to Jacksonville" and an unequivical statement ' TOTALLY COMMITTED TO KEEPING THIS TEAM IN JACKSONVILLE?' Sorry, dumb question, of course you don't.
Khan said early on in his press conference. There has been lots of wild speculation about the chances of the team being moved to a place like Los Angeles with the transfer of ownership, but Khan says he's committed to the city and that has been the sentiment from Wayne Weaver when he spoke with the media announcing the sale.
Quote:LOL.... you are funny.Cute.
He is a great businessman and him expanding his portfolio is great for our entire community.

When you have to utilize any emoticon to reinforce your points your game is weaker than water.
I do read the links I post and will continue to be well read on all things Khan because I have great respect for the man and am very appreciative of the efforts he is pursuing in our community. Just another one of your conjecture errors.
As for dodging points, you are the offender...name ONE lie Khan has told...name ONE lie Khan has told...name ONE lie Khan has told...or since you obviously have basic reading comprehension challenges I will word it differently...name ONE thing Khan has said he will do that he failed to carry through.
And finally I leave with your little quote you so desire even though an imbecile such as yourself does not deserve it.

Game, set, match...sit down chump, you are not worthy.
Quote:And yet still he's leaving his options open.
"Well we tried to make it work in Jax but we couldn't, onward to London"
Quote:Cute.That's all you got? the London games? Not only are you a coward you are an idiot, again, only accurately describing you according to your posts. The London games are expanding our brand and making us a greater franchise. Are the owners of the Giants , 49ers, Steelers, and Vikings just to name a few not committed to their communities because they have played London games? The London games are making this franchise more profitable which in turns solidifies our future in Jacksonville. If you do not understand this basic business concept you will never get it. Sit back and wait for the winning years and then you may rejoin the bandwagon. Our dire franchise needs Special Forces caliber fans not the common foot soldier who will turn his back when he misses a meal.
Name calling and I'm supposed to take you seriously?
I'll take the bait but this will be my last response to you. You answered your own question right in your very own post.
One lie Khan has told....hmmm I wonder what that could be?.....
Khan's exact words (according to your link) was "I just want to share with you, I'm totally committed to Jacksonville"...
Oh really? TOTAL COMMITMENT is such a strong word Mr. Khan, how do you explain the London games?
Quote:And yet still he's leaving his options open.Knarnn, this is your loyalty, these are your words! By your own admission you capitulate and have written our franchise off as you move onward to London.
"Well we tried to make it work in Jax but we couldn't, onward to London"
Quote:And yet still he's leaving his options open.I agree with you on this. This "fit" statement has the ring of faux exasperation to it.
"Well we tried to make it work in Jax but we couldn't, onward to London"
Quote:Cute.Never did Khan promise we would not play a game in London. Again your posts are trash. You must like the woodshed beatings...
