Jaguars tossed fresh meat, happy now
Our long national nightmare is finally over! The Jaguars and the city of Jacksonville have agreed to a new lease deal that will end the threat of the Jags leaving town because they were pissed about not getting enough electronic signage money. The details are, well, detailed: The Jags get bigger signs (at city expense) and an $8.6 million tax break; the city gets six days a year when they get all stadium signage revenue, more sharing of concessions-stand costs by the team, and, I believe, a conditional 2nd-round draft pick in 2007. At least this guy will be happy.
