Is America's Pastime Dying a Slow Death?

Trust me, The Jaguars win, and win consistently you will witness an entirely different media, jagswilldestroyyou

 

Pre-Manning, the Colts were like Media Herpes, no one wanted to cover them unless it was from 100 feet away. Elway & Cornelius Bennett risked not even playing in the NFL as Colts first round picks, just to play somewhere else. Elway threatened to play Baseball, and Bennett priced himself out of Indy to play for the Bills. The Colts were a sorry team, and the media, and national media beat them out behind the woodshed weekly.

 

The Jaguars Win, and they will come. Supply/Demand. The Jaguars aren't in demand at this time. Manning brought the demand to the Colts organization, and maybe Bridgewater will do that for Jacksonville. Don't fall into the gutter of doubt that winning doesn't fix all that ails an NFL franchise.

 

Think about teams like the Bucs, Raiders, Saints ... so on .. You know it has more to do with success building the team than it does the media? It does.

Thanks for the encouragement Sammy Wink But I still think that even when the Jags finally do break this playoff drought, they'll still be viewed as a second rate team along with the Bears, Lions, and Bengals. I remember during those fairly bright years between 2003-2007, the media still barely covered Jacksonville, despite 4 consecutive non-losing seasons and two playoff births. Everyone might have thought that the Jags had a shot at making it to the Superbowl in 2008, but I'm sure that there were some media executives who were crossing their fingers that Jacksonville wouldn't make it. They got their prayers answered though, in a big way.
