In yesterdays game vs. Titans, Jaguars lost their two non-white starting guards one for the season one for maybe two months. Will this lead to a white resurgence on the line, to go with Matt Jones's reemergence? Right now there is one white linemen, Pashos, with Meester sometimes a starter but injured now. If Meester comes back and starts again, and the Jags get one white guard, we could be looking at a 3 white man o-line. That would be amazing.

All of the backups are black.

Even the backup backup center is black. That is not a typo.

I did not call it Blacksonville for nothing.

I'm not sure if the 2008 team reports are done for the site, but the Eagles are giving Blacksonville a run for their money this year. The Eagles only have 4 white starters. And it doesn't get much better from there.

So much for the idea of more white linemen. Jags sign two more black linemen.Edited by: referendum

I want Garrard to run for his life.

I want Garrard to feel the same things that Carson Palmer, Marc Bulger and Kurt Warner feel.

I want Garrard to throw a bunch more interceptions and fumble a bunch.


I don't want Garrard to "live up" to his huge contract.

The Jackassonville organization wants an all-black team and, as far as I'm concerned, they can have one.

The GM is black and he's got to be a racist black man with how he operates the team. How the hell can you begin to justify that kind of racial make up of a roster in a 67% white country with countless good white players? But Tony Kornheiser and others still give the Jags a B+ for diversity.

Here are the demographics for Blacksonville. Johnny Reb still rides strong in the county not on the team though....Jacksonville is the most populous city in Florida, and the twelfth most populous city in the United States. As of the census[2] estimates of 2006, there were 799,875 people, 315,796 households, and 199,037 families residing in the city.[28] However, it is perhaps misleading to compare Jacksonville's population to other major cities. As a result of the 1968 consolidation of Jacksonville and Duval County, most of the suburban communities of Jacksonville were absorbed within the city limits of Jacksonville proper. It may be a more accurate comparison to compare the metropolitan area of Jacksonville to the Metropolitan area of other cities.

The population density was 374.9/km² (970.9/mi²). There were 308,826 housing units at an average density of 157.4/km² (407.6/mi²). The racial makeup of the city was 64.48% White, 34.03% Black or African American, 0.34% Native American, 2.78% Asian, 0.06% Pacific Islander, 1.33% from other races, and 1.99% from two or more races. 4.16% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race. The largest ancestries include: German (9.6%), American (9.3%), Irish (9.0%), English (8.5%), and Italian (3.5%). Jacksonville has, as named by the United States Census the 10th largest Arab population in the United States. Also Jacksonville has a large Filipino population, in part related to their tradition of service with the Navy.

There were 284,499 households out of which 33.9% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 46.7% were married couples living together, 16.0% had a female householder with no husband present, and 33.0% were non-families. 26.2% of all households were made up of individuals and 7.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.53 and the average family size was 3.07. In the city, the population was spread out with 26.7% under the age of 18, 9.7% from 18 to 24, 32.3% from 25 to 44, 21.0% from 45 to 64, and 10.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 34 years. For every 100 females there were 93.9 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 90.6 males.

In 2000, the median income for a household in the city was $40,316, and the median income for a family was $47,243. Males had a median income of $32,547 versus $25,886 for females. The per capita income for the city was $20,337. About 9.4% of families and 12.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 16.7% of those under age 18 and 12.0% of those age 65 or over.

I can remember when the Jags were about 60% white. Then they started getting blacker and blacker. When they brought in Harris I knew it was over. Now they are virtually an all black team. When Harris mentioned that he would always take a black over a white that was the final straw. He also mentioned that he he was given the choice between two equal quaterbacks, one white one black he would always take the black one. And then he also said that he wanted to be the first team where all of his quarterbacks were black, (he did it) I quit watching football. could not switch to another team, I tried but just not the same.

I don't know how long this will last, but right now the Jags depth chart on Yahoo is showing Meester, Britton and newly acquired Justin Smiley as three white starters on the Jags o-line.
