    Elyssa,
    Please get your facts straight before writing articles like this since it really question your credibility. If you even bother to do your research, you will see that Shahid Khan is doing everything he can to make the team relevant again and also build the fan base. Even though he may had been here for a short time, he is already the biggest ambassador for the City of Jacksonville and nothing that he had done indicates that he plan to move the Jaguars anywhere. You really upset a lot of people with the nonsense in this worthless article. If you're willing to come out and state that you made a mistake in writing this article and retract everything, then we are willing to put it in the past.

    Your article regarding the Jags moving to LA, is one of the most rediculously uneducated fluff of an article I have ever seen. There is no reporting, no facts, nothing you said in the article even made sense. You jumped on the news of a missunderstanding and took it to the extreme, boardering on garbage. I have read some of your other articles and you are a good writer. It shocks me that this came from you. Articles like this are why no one knows what is actually going on inside Jags Nation. If you would have looked at the facts you would have seen that last year we sold on average more tickets then Miami and TB. You can think what you want and write your oppinions, just don't relay them nationaly as facts.

    Loved your Player safety article. Sometimes a great article doesn't get a lot of views until a few weeks later. I had that happen with my Vontaze Burfict article. Stick in there and don't get discouraged if there are ever some articles you think are great but no one reads; it happens to all of us. You're a very talented writer.

    Hi Elyssa,

    Sorry I didn't get back to your question sooner. I don't think anything has changed in regards to B/R standards, but I tweaked your headline according to their editing guidelines to help increase its visibility on the internet (i.e., using more keywords, making the headline more concise). Hope that helps! I look forward to reading more of your work!

    Are you going to write what we learned from the Cowboys' win? It's okay if you're not. I have some question if you don't mind. Were you surprised that the Cowboys annihilated the Bills part of the reason was Romo with 88.5 percent completion. What do you think the Cowboys did good on? What do you think they still need to work on? Do you think they can be a playoff contender? Is Laurent Robinson a steal for the Cowboys? Do you think that Jerry Jones should make Murray for starter?

    c'mon elyssa Mark Sanchez is not one of the worst starters out there. What QB has the most road playoff wins in NFL History oh yeah Mark Sanchez and that is in his first 2 years. And of course he has almost the same TDs and INTs because in his rookie year he had 22 INTs how many did Brett Favre throw in his career. Im not saying Sanchez is as good as him but I can find many more starters are worse than Sanchez.

    Thanks, Elyssa! :) I guess I am kind of superstitious when it comes to football. After writing the article, I thought, "Wow... And I've been picking on other people and I am worse than they are!" I may need a Packers intervention! LOL
