"If the Jaguars had as many wins this season as the number of times owner Wayne Weaver has denied an imminent sale of the team, there'd be no problem filling up EverBank Field.
For whatever reason, the rumor about Weaver possibly selling an interest in the team to FedEx owner Fred Smith keeps resurfacing. I asked Weaver about it directly after the Jaguars-Baltimore Ravens game and he twice replied: "There's nothing to it."
Amid whispers of Smith has been seen in the Jaguars' building, the team issued another adamant denial Thursday about the team being sold when sports station 1010XL reported the same Fred Smith story, initially given legs two weeks ago by ESPN's Chris Mortensen, as "breaking news."
