Bucs offer fans televised games; Jags offer free beer
 

Unless you follow the Miami Dolphins (who's happier than this guy?), these are grim times to be a professional football fan in Florida.


Both the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are floating facedown in the Atlantic with an 0-3 record. On Thursday, the two teams took very different paths to stimulate their downtrodden fan bases.

The Bucs announced, rather proudly, that they're projected to meet the league threshold of 85 percent of tickets sold for the team's remaining seven home games, thus ensuring that all home games will be televised locally in 2013.

"In appreciation for the loyal support of our fans throughout the Tampa Bay area, we have committed to televise the remaining seven home games of the 2013 season," said Bryan Glazer, the team's co-chairman.

Blackouts have been common for the Bucs in recent years. The murky wording in the team's statement tells us the Bucs likely will be forced to gobble up thousands of tickets to meet the minimum threshold.

The Jags, meanwhile, have opted to shoot straight during these trying times. Please come watch Blaine Gabbert. We will feed you beer.

Jacksonville Jaguars ✔ @jaguars
2 free drinks for next 2 hrs w/ #INDvsJAX ticket purchase(starting @$45, 21+ for beer).

LMAO Hey Jags fans, you can thank the Chiefs for starting this out with a nice curb stomping.

If I were a Jax fan, I'd need to drink a lot too....

Well, that's just brilliant for the Jags.

We know you're going to black out at these games; let us help you start it out!

Free beer. That's not going to end well.

Totally different meaning of "black out" inside and outside of the stadium!

Why did the Bucs go all the way to the Atlantic Ocean to drown themselves?

if the jags want a full stadium it should be 2 free beers a quarter. Guaranteed they'd have a lot of butts in those seats.

It's an AWESOME time to be a Jags fan! $45 ticket + $30 parking+ $100 misc expenses = 2 free watered down luke warm brewskies and 3 hours of shitty football. WIN!

As Chiefs fans, we are no stranger to the creature.....

(RE: your sig)

Atwater still brags about that hit. But the truth is that Okoye's feet were off the ground as he was hurdling a player on the ground. Had the Nigerian Nightmare been set for impact, Atwater's career would have ended that day. :evil:

thats funny shit right there !ROFL

:shake:

nope, Okoye's feet were both on the ground as he had just landed from a slight hop and he saw Atwater coming so he lowered his shoulders to protect himself. It didn't matter.

It it is a better deal than what the Chiefs were offering the past decade or so....

pathetic
