Twenty three years of Jaguars' football and the front office still believes they need to placate Florida Gator fans in order to sell tickets. Having a local media infested with Florida Gator operatives doesn't help the Jaguars at all. 

Former Jaguars GM, Gene Smith, was commanded by Shad Khan to figure out a way to make Tim Tebow a Jaguar. When he was rebuffed by Smith and the staff who told him it was best to stick with developing Gabbert, Khan stated "We're looking ahead with no regrets".

Caldwell started off right. The first question out of the mouths of reporters was, "So what do you think about Tim Tebow?" The first thing on the minds of reporters was about a guy who wasn't even on the Jaguars. Reporters are supposed to ignore noise and focus on the players in the locker room. Maurice Jones-Drew said, "For him to come out and be direct and forward with where we are going, that's one of the greatest things I've seen at a press conference in a long time."

We all saw how the Florida Gator pom-pom moms in the local media reacted to MJD.

Yup, the local media doesn't care a flip about the Jaguars franchise. They'd much rather see Khan move the team to London. They will condescend upon Jaguars fans right and left with all the facts, figures, and falsehoods necessary to jimmy the Jaguars up at the roots. They will cover the trans-Atlantic transfer with glow. In the far off, Khan will get his name slapped on the side of some campus building in Gainesville. 

That's because the local media's role is that of career-placement specialist for Florida Gator football. 

Essentially, Bryan and Fowler were sand-bagging it through training camp. That's because neither player was close to being worthy of a first round draft pick. Yet they grabbed lots of spotlight in the game against the Bucs. "Look, Martha! Two Gators are standing out against a back-drop of third and fourth stringers!"

My dog smells idiocy in this post. I can see it. Amazing.
