Quote:I think many people are shooting the messenger on here because it isn't what they want to hear.  I agree with the original poster in that the tone has changed dramatically with some in the local media.  Did anyone hear Dan Hicken on Friday?  He stated that Blackmon is not coming back.  When given an opportunity by the co-host (not Prosser) to qualify or back track his statement, he didn't take it.  He said that there was "zero percent" chance that Blackmon is coming back.  This is a completely different tone from a couple months ago.  I'm not saying that I agree that it is zero percent, but I highly suspect Hicken wouldn't say that unless he's gotten some new inside information.  1010xl has recently become the flagship station of the Jaguars.  I suspect Hicken has gotten improved access to the Jaguars and with that, he's clearly become much, much more pessimistic of a Blackmon return.  I'm working on the assumption that Blackmon isn't returning and then will consider it a very pleasant bonus if he does.
