LAMM AT LARGE: Mac Jones won’t get the credit he deserves

Patriots' quarterback Mac Jones WON'T be the rookie of the year. He has led New England into the playoffs after last year's rare losing season. He did it by setting a rookie record for completion percentage and throwing 21 touchdown passes with 12 interceptions. He did it without a star supporting cast. Name a Patriots wide receiver or running back? Impressive for any quarterback. But Jones is his own worst […]

LAMM AT LARGE: What golf off-season?

Sports' off-seasons are shrinking every year. None more so than the PGA Tour. Once the world's top golfers spent October-December doing whatever. Now, a new season begins a week after the Ryder Cup or the President's Cup. The fall portion has become more important than ever -- and so have the limited-field events such as the CJ Cup, the Zozo Championship and the Hero World Challenge, which ended Dec. 12. […]

LAMM AT LARGE: Jaguars need a total overhaul

Parity does work in the NFL. Look at this year's playoff race. Very little is settled about the playoff schedule going into an historic 18th week. That makes the plight of the Jaguars are the more unimageable. 3-29. Almost impossible. Worse, the Jaguars are going downhill. Except for an unexplainable 2017 season, the Jaguars have spent a decade mired in the cellar -- AND there's no light at the end […]

LAMM AT LARGE: Shad Khan’s letter to Santa

A letter mistakenly came across my desk this week. I mistakenly opened it. Much to my surprise, what did I see right before my eyes? It was a letter to Santa Claus from Jaguars owner Shad Khan   Dear Santa, It may seem a surprise that I'd be asking for anything because I'm worth billions. But there are some things money can't buy. One of them is a winning NFL […]

LAMM AT LARGE: Hard to stay bad in NFL

The way the NFL is set up, the rich don't get richer. Or at least they shouldn't. The late commissioner Pete Rozelle once joked -- well, I thought he was joking -- the perfect season would be every team finishing the season at .500. That's why the better you are, the worse draft pick you get. That's why the salary cap was implemented. This may be hard for Jaguars fans […]

LAMM AT LARGE: #1 pick? Don’t count on it.

OK, so it wasn't all Urban's fault. What I can't understand is how in the hell did the Jaguars beat the Dolphins and the Bills? And that brings me to this week's game against the Jets. Should the Jaguars be in the AFC East? Despite the Jaguars dominance of AFC teams, Jaguars fans shouldn't get too excited about playing the Jets -- if that's possible. The Jets did beat the […]

LAMM AT LARGE: Texans & Jets not layups for these Jaguars

A friend said to me this week, "Playing the Texans and Jets the next two weeks may be just what the Jaguars need." Of course playing the Jaguars (2-11) may be just what the Texans (2-11) and Jets (3-10) need. The miserable threesome are the only AFC teams already eliminated from the playoffs. Between them they are 7-32 and often not competitive. The Texans already own a victory over the […]

LAMM AT LARGE: Admit it…you’ll watch Tiger this week

This week's PNC Championship has been around for 26 years, known by various names and played at several sites. Many golf fans still refer to it as the Father-Son even though daughters first played in 2005. It's 36 holes of hit-and-giggle golf. Few of us have paid much attention, and that includes hard-core golf nuts like me. It's been televised because what else is the Golf Channel going to show? […]

HAYS BLOG: Shad Khan knows Trevor Lawrence is vital to his next 10 years as Jaguars owner

By Hays Carlyon   Jaguars owner Shad Khan invited reporters on his yacht on Monday to honor requests to discuss his 10-year anniversary of purchasing the team. Khan covered a variety of topics, but the one that mattered the most to me was how does he view rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence, the top pick in the draft. Khan’s tenure as owner has been successful off-the-field in stabilizing the franchise in […]
