What if the Jacksonville Jaguars became a powerhouse like the Cowboys or Jets? Would the scrutiny be worth the glory? In our 100th episode of Touchdown Jaguars, we take you on a nostalgic journey through our podcasting adventure, from our roots with Sports Grind Daily to the present, celebrating alongside our loyal listeners. We explore the unique challenges our beloved Jaguars face, and even imagine ourselves in the bustling media spotlight of larger NFL markets, pondering the what-ifs and trade-offs of bigger exposure versus the tight-knit community we've built around our team. With heartfelt gratitude, we thank everyone who has been part of this ride, sharing in the triumphs and trials of supporting the team we love.

As stadium debates heat up, we tackle the ever-present chatter surrounding potential team relocations. Could Kansas City or Carolina be next in line for a move? We dive into the intricacies of the Jaguars' stadium challenges, the role of city officials, and the determination of owner Shad Khan to keep the team rooted in Jacksonville. Our discussion branches into broader league dynamics—how other small market teams navigate similar waters, and the speculative future of NFL relocations. Unpacking these layers reveals both anxiety and anticipation surrounding the future identity of our team and city.

With a critical eye, we dissect the Jaguars’ tumultuous season and the hurdles that lie ahead—including matchups against formidable teams like the Eagles and Vikings. We scrutinize Trevor Lawrence’s performance and the team’s defensive struggles, while reflecting on the broader implications for head coach Doug Peterson’s legacy. Amidst these challenges, we stay hopeful, sharing aspirations for our future in the podcasting world and beyond. Despite the team’s current rough patch, our commitment to the Jaguars community remains unwavering, as we continue to bring engaging and insightful content to our listeners.

James Johnson and Phil Smith bring you the best and most up to date Jacksonville Jaguars news. "Touchdown Jaguars!" is a tribute to the prospective ownership group "Touchdown Jacksonville!" In 1991, the NFL announced plans to add two expansion teams and "Touchdown Jacksonville!" announced its bid for a team, and Jacksonville was ultimately chosen as one of five finalists. In November 1993, the NFL owners voted 26–2 in favor of awarding the 30th franchise to Jacksonville. James and Phil have been fans of the franchise ever since and have had the honor (and sometimes dishonor) of covering the team professionally since 2017. The rest as they say, is history.
