He had enough money to lend to Jr. to get that AEW program running. And he had enough money to buy that soccer team overseas as well. This guy is not frugal. He's ambitious. And he's up to no good with our city and this market.

But don't you know what the city will be like without an NFL Team?

Probably not much of a change overall but the Florida v Georgia game will be next to go.  Still have beaches and outdoors and good overall environment.

I honestly can't say I would know. I was born in 1988. By the time I was actually into sports we had our team established when I was seven years old. My mom was born in St. Augustine and my Grandfather and her pretty much grew up as Miami Dolphins fans and always had stories about Marino. My uncle ended up liking the Vikings. 

On my father's side they moved here in the late 1970's and he was always a Steelers fan despite being born a stone's throw away from Arrowhead Stadium. Military brat though. My grandfather on my dad's side was a Redskins fan. He despised John Elway for some reason. Maybe because of the whole Baltimore Colts ordeal. All of my dad's side of the family are Georgia Bulldogs fans though. 

It's weird. I grew up on Georgia football and Jacksonville football though. It's all I know. I love fishing though. That will never change as long as I am breathing and capable of getting out on the water. If we lose the team we lose it. Of course I'll be sad about it. Especially with my son on the way. Was looking forward to subjecting him to this visual abuse every Sunday. 

But it is what it is. It's out of our hands and out of our control.
