Ever since Shad Khan docked his boat (nay, twin screw diesel yacht) Kismet in front of the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront last month, folks have been dying to get a peek inside. Since I have not yet received my “Welcome Aboard” party invitation, nor do I know how to swing onboard a seafaring vessel pirate-style, I [...]
Things are off to a not-so-positive note for the Jaguars’ 2012-2013 season, at least according to the pigskin pundits at bleacher report. Based on the team’s bottom-five rankings in overall offense, passing offense and average points scored, plus a sophomore quarterback with “happy feet,” columnist Dan Van Wie assigned them an NFL power ranking of just [...]
In an attempt to feed people’s insatiable appetite for celebrity gossip, The Specktator and my trusted panel of reporters, the Eye-Team, report sightings of local luminaries (aka J-listers) and “real” stars about town, in a segment we affectionately refer to as “Invasion of Privacy.” If you’re looking to have J-lister restaurant encounter, I can think of no place better than Taco [...]
Jaxson de Ville, who is the “self-proclaimed best mascot in sports,” has the chance to prove that he actually is. The 403-pound 12th man coordinator is a finalist for the title of Cartoon Network’s Hall of Game Most Awesome Sports Mascot. I might agree if he hadn’t done this… In other Jags-related news, Maurice Jones-Drew isn’t the [...]
Pretty cool version of the national anthem performed by the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra‘s brass section at the Jaguars’ last game of the season, though, you may want to listen with your eyes closed if you get motion sick.

The full, manly mustache … the luxurious, feathered hair … the affinity for fancy neckwear… However, [...]
The Jacksonville Jaguars left their sweat and tears on the field yesterday. The least you can do is share some blood. The Gift of Life Blood Drive, hosted by the Jags and The Blood Alliance, takes place tomorrow from 7 a.m.-8 p.m. at the West Touchdown Club at EverBank Field. In addition to saving three lives, [...]
That’s great that you finally won a game, Jaguars, especially for Maurice Jones-Drew, who broke Fred Taylor’s touchdown record. Personally, I’m far more impressed with MJD’s appearance in “The Shiva Bowl Shuffle” on The League, which is an H-I-larious show on FX that you should be watching—unless you actually enjoy King of Queens or Everybody Loves [...]
Bad enough our hometown team had to take such a beating on national television, but then ESPN had the nerve to not even show our hometown when it did its fancy swoop-in shot prior to the game. Thanks to SportsGrid.com for posting the video and the lovely Lyndsay Rossman for sharing it on Facebook. P.S. [...]
