I’m late to the party (well, thread) on this one, so I just went and checked out what Mark actually said on air:



 

Quote:"You know, it wouldn’t surprise me," Brunell said when Mike Golic asked him if he thought the Jaguars topped the list of franchises that could move to Los Angeles or London. "I hate to say it, but we’ve got an owner in Shad Khan that’s bought the soccer team over there and all indications are that we’re headed that way. It’s not good for Jacksonville. You don’t hear a lot of that talk in Jacksonville right now but everywhere else, someone mentioned it the other day it’s the Jacksonville Jaguars of London. I want them to stay. That’s my home. I love the franchise. I love the organization, but it wouldn’t surprise anybody if in a few years it happened."
 

My response is: What on earth are people so upset about??  From the rage on these boards, to John Oehser calling Mark ‘misguided’ . . it’s baffling.  What Mark said sounds completely reasonable to me.  He’s saying he doesn’t want the team to move, he wants them in Jacksonville – but if it did happen on day, it wouldn’t come as a complete surprise.



 

 

To placate the angry mob, he followed up with.



 

Quote:Heard from a lot of Jag fans about my comments on Mike and Mike. Please know that NOBODY wants the Jags to stay in Jax more than me.

Believing these observations constitute a great betrayal is ridiculous. It’s really low to trash Brunell over this.
