MJD is a small guy, when you use him like Jacksonville does, he's going to be ran into the ground. Del Rio had some decent years in Jax, their personnel is so bad it wouldn't matter who the coach is. They have zero weapons at WR, and TE. Couple that with a rookie QB, and a defense that is on the field the entire game it's a recipe for disaster.

And Del Rio is a big reason why the personnel sucks. I don't see them getting any better anytime soon. They can't get free agents and its going to take time to build a team through the draft. Tebow is the answer to get fans in there now. You think he was bad in Denver with his ability to pass it will be even worse in Jacksonville. I think their starting WR's couldnt start in a Pop Warner league.

I hate Florida as a state. And not just for their professional sports, I just hate visiting there. Miami and jacksonville should merge cause their both horrendous and no one wants to go play for them. I dont know who justifies throwing all these pro sports franchises their way when none of them get support.

Jacksonville will likely have to move, unless Tebow saves them. Miami is a tradition rich franchise that has had a rough go since Marino retired.

It'd be nice. As long as they don't both get a point, I can live with it.

And the Leafs-Bruins laugher is over. Bruins scored 8, Leafs had 13 SOG

Speaking of a team that has me worried just look at the Phillies. I have no idea how they are going to produce runs. They have always been a team that depends on the long ball but they have one player who can hit over 25 homers in their opening day roster, Pence. Its going to be fun to watch a team try to play some small ball when they never have done it. Hopefully their pitching staff stays healthy cause their going to need it this year.

Last Jags playoff appearance 2007
Last Leafs playoff appearance 2004

Off the top of my head the only franchises in pro sports with longer current playoff droughts than the Leafs are:

Panthers (Likely to change this year)
KC Royals
Pirates
Orioles

They need a goalie bad. Problem is Stevie Y always seems to get the better end of any deal he makes. Still has that Detroit horseshoe...

Have to think they will take a serious run at Schneider or Bernier. I think Yzerman stock piled a ton of picks to try and put together a package for one of those guys.
