On the way back, I came in on a caller who was a Tebow cultist, saying how badly he wanted to see Tebow play, and that nobody could name any Jaguars TEs, and that Tebow would put butts in the seats.

This was bad enough on its face, but the call in hosts made matters far worse with his response.

He said "the Jaguars need all the help they can get because they are the worst attended team in football."

At what point does the ignorance become willful?

It took one google search, less than a minute, to find the truth of the matter, which is there is ZERO to support that contention.

Going back to 2006-the last thirteen seasons with full attendance (I excluded last year due to Covid), there was not a single year the Jaguars ranked last in attendance.

In many of those years, we were firmly in the middle of the pack.

This franchise has been far from the model franchise.  There are lots of legitimate criticisms you could level at the team.

What I HATE are the willful misrepresentations epitomized by that segment.

What I hate are holding the Jaguars to different standards by not criticizing other teams for doing the same thing the Jaguars are doing (Use of Etienne during minicamp while silent on the Steelers for using Najee Harris in the same way).

Sorry for the rant, but I had to vent.

Then go sit and listen to a State of the Jaguars presentation and tell me we aren't fed a load of crap about revenue. We get told in a round about way that we're terrible fans who can't carry a franchise without London. Imagine the support for this team if it wasn't all-world bad for 2 decades outside of a few outlier seasons.  1 Division title in 20 years. We've made the playoffs 3x and won as many games in the post season. Only Detroit and Cleveland are worse in W/L and they have a larger market and a rich football history to fall back on.

We have this.
