Hearing the Jacksonville Jaguars added a true defensive end in the eight-year veteran Aaron Kampman on Sunday probably registered a few points-to-the-sky or fist pumps. And, rightfully so. During Kampman’s Pro Bowl seasons in 2006 and 2007, he was an elite pass rusher. For 2006, he was second in the NFL in sacks with 15.5 [...]

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed a long-term deal with ex-San Diego Chargers’ wide receiver Kassim Osgood on Saturday, one day after the start of NFL free agency. The 29-year-old Osgood agreed to a three-year contract valued at $6.675 million. The three-time Pro Bowl selection – 2006, 2007 and 2009 – is known more for his special-teams [...]

On Friday, the Jacksonville Jaguars won the coin flip against the Denver Broncos to acquire the tenth overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. I would have found it entertaining if Aaron Eckhart, who plays Two-Face in the 2008 film The Dark Knight, had flipped the coin. Throughout Batman, Two-Face is well-known for making decisions [...]

With MLB teams reporting for spring training last week, I reflected on my love interest – baseball. 
Baseball had my heart from the beginning.  I remember the early days of playing tee ball as a youngster and being quite horrendous.  I tested the waters in other sports, but nothing else held my attention the way baseball [...]

Unless the Jacksonville Jaguars add a receiver in free agency or draft that position high, newly-resigned Troy Williamson will be going head-to-head against Mike Thomas for the No. 2 receiver spot.  Ignoring the three-year age difference, Williamson reminds me of current Minnesota Vikings pass-catcher Sidney Rice.  Before Rice had Brett Favre throwing to him, Rice [...]

With last Thursday’s release of one-and-done wide receiver Torry Holt, I believe the Jacksonville Jaguars are in need of a veteran pass-catcher with some worthwhile experience. 
I am not pleading for the Jaguars to find the next Jimmy Smith or Keenan McCardell – although, a clone of either one from their prime years would help this [...]

The concept of adding a “gas gauge” to the Jacksonville Jaguars website is brilliant.  Keeping the fans and media in touch with what is going on with ticket sales is a step in the right direction.  The gauge, which began on Friday, will follow the pace of regular-season ticket sales.  To sell out the general [...]

Last Thursday, during an appearance on The Jim Rome Show, Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio replied to Rome’s question as to whether David Garrard is a Super Bowl caliber quarterback.  Del Rio answered, “Well that’s, uh, a good question.  I think I would say a quarterback like David Garrard can be that with [...]

Super Bowl XLIV will always be known for the New Orleans Saints’ first Super Bowl victory.  But, I will forever commit to memory Saints head coach Sean Payton’s fortitude.  Three major calls – a fourth and goal go-for-it, the opening second-half onside kick and a two-point conversion – will carry him into coaching lore.  Plain [...]

For this Sunday’s Super Bowl matchup, it is quite impossible to ignore the offenses of the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints.  Both teams are ranked in the top ten for points, passing yards and total yards per game.
In those offensive categories, the Colts are 7th, 9th and 2nd, respectively.  The Saints hold two [...]
