Should I do it ?

Those of you paying attention out there will know that the Jax Jags will be playing one of their 'home' games at Wembley Stadium London over the next few years. Next season the NFL have announced two games in London; (PIT @ MIN and SF @ JAX); even though the rest of the schedule doesn't get announced until next year.

I've been recently inundated with e-mails from the NFL offering deals to buy tickets in the JAX 'home' section, with incentives including announcing one of the Jags draft picks at the draft, locker room and training camp visits, meeting the coaches sessions etc etc.

I'm kinda looking forward to meeting Coach Bratkowski and telling him face to face how crap his play-calling is.

Before I accept their offer and become 'LondonJag', I wanted to ask the advice of all you guys out there.

Should I do it ?

That would take some stones. If it were me, i certainly wouldn't say anything like that, because Bob has forgotten more football than i'll ever know. However, his track record speaks for himself.

So go for it. You only live once.

If I lived on that side of the pond, i'd try to make a game any chance I got. the rest is just gravy. And if you actually got to talk to Brat, you could explain your fandom and try to get some inside scoops on carson, Chad or whoever you wanted.

The better questions to ask would be about working for Mike Brown. How much control does he really exert? Does he really try to teach coaches the Xs and Os, as was infamously portrayed in Hard Knocks? Is there any hope that Katie and Troy Blackburn will take over and run the organization in a sane manner?

I would go but not insult Brat. As bad as his play calling might have been, I read that he worked his butt off. At least he put the time in and he had to deal with all the diva's we had back then.

No hard feels against Brat, just wouldn't want him to be on our coaching staff ever again... Laughing

Back to the topic at hand, there is nothing wrong with having a second team, as long as you root for your primary team no matter what. Even if your primary team is 0-15 and your secondary team 15-0 and they are playing head to head, still have to root for your primary. My secondary team in the Packers, mainly because I played HS football with AJ Hawk for 1 year and with his brother Ryan for 3 years.
