That doesn't diffuse speculation that there's a perceived lack of fan support prevalent in the national media when talking about Jacksonville and relocation.  The perception was based on old information from several years ago when the team was mired in the middle of a series of blackouts.  Most journalists have taken note of the dramatic changes in Jacksonville, which is why they don't talk about the Jags as a possible relocation candidate as often as they used to, but there are still a few meatheads in the media who don't really pay attention to things, and they honestly think fans don't support the the Jags locally.
