Just ask any of his buds in the club.

 

Most of them have owned both.

So, what I am hearing is it was Khans intent to only own a team and he is fine with that no matter how bad they might be. Makes sense. Being in the "fraternity of men" is the most important thing.

"open the checkbook"?  i would not count on it, but possible

Alright folks, I wasn't trying to put Khan down or imply that he should feel bad about owning the Jaguars.

 

I simply mean he's not proud of their performance. No amount of money should make a man who owns an NFL team feel better about the team's performance just because he's rich.

Only because that is what you want to hear, because that's not what anyone was saying.

What I'm saying is that Shahid Khan is a patient man with realistic expectations that is happy as hell to have an NFL team, and regardless of his disappointment in their play, is not going to let it affect his performance as the owner of this and other sports clubs and companies.

 

Everything about the man exudes class.  Unlike this dumb topic.

Maybe they were spelling it phonetically the way the English pronounce it? :whistling:

Dude has worked for years trying to get into the NFL circle and buy a team, and when he finally gets one its an Arena league team. He's embarassed, regardless if he wipes his [BLEEP] with $100 bills

I truly believe that men at the level of Khan don't get embarrased any more. It's wasted effort, effort that could be spent fixing the problem.

This team has virtually no chance of winning a game this year and regular joes on a message board think he's not embarrassed only because he has some money. Yeah ok.

It is mostly Gene Smith's construction still, but Caldwell has been very active in gutting and turning over the roster this year.  I give him some credit.

Maybe they'd understand it better in Dutch.

It's not the money, it's the type of personality that lends itself to achievement on a grand scale unapproachable by regular joes on a message board.  Look above to what DF said, reflect on it a while, and you may realize why this thread is asinine.  And before you say it, yes, I realize I was stupid enough to post in it too.

He's embarrassed all the way to the bank.  85k were at the game today to watch that garbage on the field.  He had sponsors for all the events, and sponsorship money inside the stadium.  I'm sure he's just devastated.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Khan has more money than he could possibly ever spend.  Men like him are motivated by power and achievement.  Trust me, he's not happy with the state of the Jaguars, but it's going to take at least 2 years to get rid of the bad contracts Gene Smith got the team into, and at least 3-4 years to build the team through the draft. 

 

Better to deal with an 0-16 season now than perpetual 4-12 seasons for eternity...

Respectfully disagree. He can't be a happy man right now.
