The pregame and postgame activities, and the parties at home during the away games, are all part of the excitement generated by the Jaguars. I am tired of listening to all the negativism in the media regarding the 2000 season. It is all too simple to criticize failure. Sure, this past season was disappointing, but I am 100 percent positive that my disappointment doesn't start to compare to the disappointment felt by the players, staff and management. To take the position that any one person within the Jaguars organization is responsible for the 2000 season is not only stupid but also irrational.
Teams succeed and fail as a unit.
There may be a single play or event that seems to change the outcome of a game, but it is the players on the field, the staff on the sidelines and the management of a team that creates the scenario so that the one play can take place. I wish the Jaguars success in the 2001 season, and I will be there to watch. Again, we are witnesses to trial lawyers' search of the almighty dollar. It makes little difference to them that they are taking the good nursing homes down with the bad, just keep the awards, settlements and fees flowing until there is nowhere else to put our loved ones needing this type of care. I have a mother in a Jacksonville nursing home.
