The Jaguars dodged a major bullet on Thursday night when starting tailback Maurice Jones-Drew suffered a lower leg injury that knocked him out of the preseason finale against the Redskins.
Fortunately for the Jaguars, it’s not serious. The injury is being described as a “shin contusion.”
“I think he took a good shot there, got a bruise, X-rays were negative,
all that stuff,” coach Jack Del Rio said after the game, according to Vito Stellino of the Florida Times-Union. “He’ll probably be a little sore, but
he’ll be OK. I think he was frustrated more than anything that the guy [Fred Smoot] went low there. I think he wanted to get his hands on him if he could. He’ll be OK.”
Apparently, Smoot has taken some tackling pointers from Brett Favre.
(Cue the “Florio hates Brett Favre, the Vikings, Reggie Bush, the Cardinals, the Eagles, Baby Jesus, the Redskins, Kurt Warner, the Browns, the Jets, rainbows, the Jaguars, the Raiders, the Chargers, steamed carrots, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Reggie Bush again, the Packers, and Jerry Lewis” crowd.)
You know Florio, I can put up with a lot of your hate. But this is too much. What did steamed carrots ever do to you?
MJD has every right to be frustrated…who wants to eat steamed carrots? Wait, what were we talking about?
How could anyone hate the little baby Jesus!?!Lying there in all his divineness.
At least you no longer hate the Steelers
Florio why you gotta go doing that? Baby Jesus is my favorite version….why must you hate on him like that?!?
Well, to be fair, Jerry Lewis is pretty darned annoying. “Hey lady!”
You forgot Ravens and Steelers.
Or did you?
oh, oh, and the Cowboys, you hate the Cowboys too.
Smoot is done as a player, even his own coaches say he can’t cover anymore. All he has left is big, questionable hits.
Can’t blame Del Ego for this (as much as I’d like to).
It’s not like Mojo got hurt in the 3rd quarter – it was the first series.
If Del Ego had sat his starters he’d be criticized for not even trying to win one preseason game.
PS – what’s Florio got against Baby Jesus and steamed carrots????
Cue the “Florio hates Brett Favre, the Vikings, Reggie Bush, the Cardinals, the Eagles, Baby Jesus, the Redskins, Kurt Warner, the Browns, the Jets, rainbows, the Jaguars, the Raiders, the Chargers, steamed carrots, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Reggie Bush again, the Packers, and Jerry Lewis” crowd.
With the exception of Baby Jesus, rainbows and steamed carrots that is not a bad list to hate.
And, I did not see the play, but what is wrong with tackling a RB low? Did Smoot actually do something that appeared dirty?
OK, now why was he playing in the 4th pre-season game again?
Yes, his soul has a contusion from that hit by Smoot.?!
You left out Jeremy Shockey
And I can’t believe you hate baby Jesus.
Little known fact: Every time Michael Vick kills a dog or drops back to pass, baby Jesus cries.
Aren’t you supposed to hate rainbows and Baby Jesus as a qualification for being an attorney?
I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo T-Shirt because it says I want to be formal, but I’m here to party too.
As an attorney, you only have to singularly hate your clients . . . the rest of the hate is implicit.
How do you go low on Maurice Jones-Drew?
and you forgot Jaguar fans and the Jacksonville community in general on your hate list Florio…as evidenced by the post before this one and the 1345 (and counting) “move the jaguars to LA” blogs you have posted.
Florio is just a hater. Truth be told, he doesnt’ even like football. He does this gig to get by with the least amount of work possible. Only haters can be lawyers. So, he is a smart hater, getting out of a high stress job to the point to where all he has to do is sit on his ars and watch football games and the talking heads on his favorite 4 letter channel all day. I wouldn’t even be suprised if Florio hated himself, as much of a hater he truely is…
Steamed carrots? Steamed F’ing CARROTS?!?!?! I HATE steamed F’ing carrots!!!
Stoogie,
I think you’re thinking of the Bar Association credo that any time anyone in America has fun, a lawyer hasn’t done his job.
“Dear Lord baby Jesus…. I would like to thank you for bringin’ me and my mama together, and also that my kids no longer sound like retarded gang-bangers.” – Ricky Bobby
Don’t be hatin Florio. I’m not saying you hate teams or individual players… only that some of your sh!t gets old man. Seriously
Every time Baby Jesus cries, it’s because Dewey Axewound made another post.

Everyone hates the Steelers…except for inbred douche bags.
This string is PRICELESS!!!!!!
Dear Lord baby Jesus, lyin’ there in your ghost manger, just lookin’ at your Baby Einstein developmental videos, learnin’ ’bout shapes and colors. I would like to thank you for bringin’ me and my mama together, and also that my kids no longer sound like retarded gang-bangers.
Florio is just a hater in all respects.
You see that picture of the dude down in Georgia who slapped the baby? That was Florio.
Florio, you forgot puppies!
@FlatulenceAttack5
That’s why we whooped up on you guys 3 times last year on our way to the Superbowl. Our 6th.
@ Alfie
Good question…
@Steeler4life
What does 6 SB wins have to do with you being inbred? I think you just proved my point.

Those are tears of JOY.
Florio does hate Reggie Bush.
Flawyer-O,
I noticed one glaring ommission from your hate list (and it’s because this one is TRUE):
You hate Cutler.
(By extension, then, one could also say you hate “pus$ies”, which is not the least bit surprising to me…)
I’m with you Florio… Baby Jesus is the worst.
I agree with Alfie, if Brett Favre had tackled MJD, in the same manner he blocked Eugene Wilson, it would have been a shot right to MJD’s chest……

Some people aren’t down with make believe crap.

=================================
I used to really like and respect the Steelers as a franchise, but by winning so much they have attracted more annoying, insufferable, blustery bandwagon blowhards than just about any other team (Queens excluded).
They seem to be everywhere now.
*Apologies to any true Steeler fans.
I like to picture Jesus singing lead vocals for Lynard Skynard, and I’m in the front row, and I’m hammered drunk.
Holy Crap Florio–Go buy Florio Jr. some new drumsticks unless you have to sell his drums to raise the cash…
But Florio loves the Worst Vagina Mountainqueers. How many sets of teeth combined does your hometown consist of Mike?
BabyJesus? I like to imagine Jesus on the cover of a rock album with with wings.
…and he hates children and old people.
Florio, awesome work on that last paragraph. First time you’ve made me laugh out loud in awhile, now I remember why I love this website.
You forgot Eric Mangini and (hopefully) ESPN.
And here’s another addition, in honor of “Steelers4life” – people that use WE when referring to their favorite football team.
Oh yeah, Steelers for life? YOU won YOUR 6th Super Bowl? What’s your position?
And I don’t mean bending over.
Don’t worry Florio, we all know you definitely, absolutely, and assuredly don’t hate the steelers.
And to all the Inbred steeler fans…. B-more has 4 NFL Championships ’58,’59,’70,’00. You have 6, so what? I love how Steeler fans like to think the 40 years they spent in last place doesn’t count.
Pittsburgh credo: “Why go accross the street when you can go across the hall?”

Your sister is your mother,
Your uncle is your brother,
You all F*@$ one another,
The Steeler family, dun nun nun nunt, clap clap
You forgot to say:
“I hate using spellchekr”
And how can you hate Baby Jesus… you can’t hate something that never existed can you?
Also don’t forget: “I hate having semi-modern hair styles”
LMAO!!!!
If Jesus could turn water into wine, could Baby Jesus turn diaper poop into gold?
Florio beats puppies with kittens.
Thanks Jon Reep.
