Quote:You gonna tell that to Mark Brunell as well? He wasn't being "controversial". Everybody knows that old number 8 speaks from his heart. Imagine that? The guy that led us to two AFC Title games also thinks that Khan is moving the team...eventually. (what's that supposed to mean?)

 

I guess the nay-sayers missed the Yahoo Sports article describing Khan as a huge Anglophile. He has a lot of explaining to do when literally none of the UK media even bothered to write much about the game. Didn't even move the needle.

 

We're talking about the same UK media that barely covered the other NFL game that was played over there?  You do understand that they're in the middle of the English Premiere League season, right?  And that's as big in England as American football is here in the US, if not bigger? 

 

Oh no! Yahoo sports wrote an article calling Khan an anglophile!  I believe they referenced his Pakistani heritage too!  Should we be worried he'll move the team to his homeland too?  You're reaching.  Khan didn't have any explaining to do.  85k attended the game.  Tens of thousands of American football fans attended the fan rally.  What the press reports on has little to do with whether the game was a successful endeavor for the Jaguars.  All indications are the team and the city both benefited greatly from the exposure provided by playing in London.

 

As far as your dear St. Mark is concerned, I guess the fact that he came back two days later and apologized for the statement he made on ESPN, and said very succinctly on his local radio show later that week that what he said was a mistake shouldn't be taken into account, right?  I mean, he's a man of integrity who was caught off guard by a question, answered it incorrectly, then later retracted it.  So, was he telling the truth before or after?  If he lied either way, what credibility does he have?  What insider information could he possibly be privy to considering he only recently became affiliated with the organization again after being gone for longer than he played here?
